Well, until very recently, we were living that dream of not having states use force against each others within Europe, thank you very much.Maybe in last 14 years or so. But just to note, EU is not one country, hack they can still have war against each other, even nato countries fought among them self before, so anything can happen and nothing is safe.
In the same way that it's physically possible for a helicopter to fall through the roof of my house and crush me, it is physically possible for Britain to go to war with Luxembourg.

2) Becuase the reason Russian army fought a few skirishes near Mariupol was because the DNR and the LNR were in a very bad position back then, about to be overrun by the Ukrainian army, disorganised, undergunned and internally squabling. Now the situation is different and Putin can just let the rebels fight for themselves with Russian supplies, as that is much better for combined warfare.
Our imported rebels were going to get wiped out so we sent in more actual soldiers, now we pretend they're not Russian soldiers because that's better for combined warfare.
Everyone I mentioned are either at odds with each other or still openly hate one another (in particularly bad cases like Azeri and Armenians), and it's been almost 20 years since all the wars. I don't see a better outcome for Russians and Ukrainians.Sometimes I wonder, if today's Internet, message boards and social networks existed in the 1990s, would Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks and other people from war-torn nations fling shit at each other like Russians and Ukrainians today?Don't worry, we will soon become friends once more after the war ends.
I think we're once again witnessing how former brotherly nations become mortal enemies. It happened in Yugoslavia, it happened in lots of places across the former Soviet Union, and now it's going on in Ukraine and Russia.
To illustrate, currently in Ukraine journalists find it absolutely OK to go and say something like "Unit A stationed in city B has no enough anti-tank weapons. Boo the government"
I see a problem here
OSCE dislikes it? Than it must be good
