We shouldn't be dealing with 🇸🇾/🇸🇾 Syria or 🇻🇪 Venezuela right now. We mustn't lose our positions. But what's most important to us is our immediate surroundings.

For us, what's happening in 🇦🇲 Armenia is far more painful than what's happening in Venezuela. The loss of Armenia is a gigantic problem. The problems in Central Asia—those are gigantic problems for us. And we need to define our goals and objectives very clearly. We need to declare: "The games are over." We disregard international law and the international order. If we had to launch a "special military operation" on Ukrainian territory for our national security, why can't we launch a "special military operation" in other parts of our sphere of influence for the same reasons?

Perhaps we should formulate our national doctrine and clearly define what our sphere of influence is. "And then everything will become clear."

Today, Europe relies mainly on the belief that if danger comes, NATO will act. But no one has ever really seen the alliance tested in full.

If Putin decided to take Lithuania or strike Poland, who would respond?

NATO exists thanks to the belief that the United States will act — that it will not stand aside and will help. But what if it does not?

Europe must learn how to defend itself. Sending 14 or 40 soldiers to Greenland — what is that meant to achieve? What message does that send to Putin? To China? And perhaps most importantly, what message does it send to Denmark?
