    Are we not already ready? The command structures exist. Does anyone have an analysis about the Russian strength in comparison to the EU? Apart from nukes, what can Russia add in comparison to the war in Ukraine that could threaten the EU?

      To be honest, I think that the same Gulf countries would have been attacked anyway, the goal of Iran is to put pression on the US, they would have just find another excused instead of the US bases.
