Experts believe that, so far, Germany has been ill-prepared — both militarily and mentally — for Russian provocations. They also warn against the idea that ending support for Ukraine would make Germany safer.
You’re trying to analyze Russia with logic. And there’s Russian saying to that “One won’t understand Russia with mind” (or intellect).
It made zero sense to let territories occupied since 2014 to be run by banditry rather than make them propaganda projects. It made no sense to invade on full-scale rather than keep funding pro-Russian parties and eventually get another Hungary into EU. It makes absolutely no sense continuing the war. But Russia keeps doing that.
I do believe chance of Russia escalating into EU isn’t big, but it’s not a logical creature, it won’t calculate its chances.
