Just guessing, but maybe you're in the US so it feels a little bit different to you...? This is what's it's like now in Denmark:

- We literally have 1 hour and 30 minutes of war updates before the half hour evening news every night.

- We've just delivered a huge batch of anti-tank weapons to Ukraine.

- We've basically sanctioned 90% of what is possible to sanction from Russia with more sanctions coming every day, plus private companies getting ahead of themselves to exit Russia the fastest, e.g. Maersk.

- People are volunteering to fight in Ukraine and our government has officially OK'd it.

- We're already taking in refugees coming in buses from the Ukraine.

It sure feels like we're at war here in all but name.

Germany’s center-left government just committed to massively upping defense spending, and Germany’s neighbors are apparently fine with it.

Never thought I’d live to see that happen.
