Nobody is willing to weather the recession it would probably trigger.
Plus there's no chance of getting China to play ball, and without their cooperation, western sanctions would simply benefit China.
Whats funny is that even a few NATO countries have not only the economy but the manpower to face up to Russia if they'd get their **** together even without the US. Even Australia is going to overtake Russia in GDP soon enough

Macron wanted the EU army so here is his chance to step up and actually do it
