Hybrid response? Why bother, just activate article 5.0 of NATO and 'Liberate' Russia Desert Storm style. Done.

The point is to prevent war by getting armed to the teeth, not actually fight it.

The point is to make it futile for Russia to even consider it, because Europe has a lot more to lose than Russia has - we value our lives and our prosperity, thank you very much.

sure, let's continue having poor Ukrainians die so we can enjoy our beer and bratwurst with croissant in peace.

Great.

Poor Ukrainians dying is not a choice that those Bratwurst and Croissant munchers made, comrade.

Helping Ukraine is a necessity, but Europe as a whole needs to get ready for what comes after the Ukraine war. The so called "hybrid war" is only the first stage of that conflict.
