I was so thankful to hear this Ben Hodges say this in his American, southern-twangy way while listening to (I think) a Silicon Curtain Podcast.

“Look, I have to say, I'm a little bit weary of my European friends wringing their hands all the time and worrying about what Russia might do. Instead of using the collective power, wealth and populations and technology and industry and capabilities of all the nations of Europe, including UK and Norway, plus Canada, plus Ukraine; it dwarfs Russia…there's way too much, whinging about, oh my god, the Russians will be unhappy or this might provoke them. Enough of that.” — Lt. Gen Ben Hodges
