We are still expecting to stay out of the new European war, don't understand how profoundly things will change in a very few years.

The only entity that would start a war would be Russia and they can barely handle Ukraine. They’d have zero chance in places like Poland and Finland. The only country they may be able to conquer is Moldova but that’s far from a given.
