DW Asks: What if Europe Joined the Ukraine Fight?
While DW meticulously outlines various scenarios—from training missions to active combat roles—they conveniently gloss over the rather significant fact that a direct NATO-Russia confrontation has been the red line for the past two years. One might recall similar 'hypotheticals' preceding other prolonged conflicts. This isn't just about Ukraine; it's a proxy theater for a much larger geopolitical
chess match, where European citizens will likely serve as pawns, not players. Instead of asking 'what if,' perhaps a more pressing question for European media would be 'who benefits?' (Hint: it's rarely the common citizen, and often the military-industrial complex whose stock prices surge with every escalation.)
