"Russia hawk" b... that's being reasonable, not a hawk. Or are we acting as if appeasement is working now?

In minds of some european liders russia will not attack them if they deepthroat them really good. Other believe that they don't have enough resources to attack, in reality russia has resources and people to do it, most of the people spent in Ukraine weren't from big cities, where 70% of population lives.
