As Indian external affairs minister Jaishankar puts it "Europe's problem are the world's problems, but world's problem are not Europe's"

Countries around the world see this & act according to their national interests & Europe/west acts all surprised when others refuse to blindly follow their line & act in their own national interest

What a dumb comparison. There is no hot conflict in Taiwan at the moment.

Better to be proactive than reactive. When it becomes a hot conflict it's already too late. So not a dumb comparison.

Europe did not arm Ukraine before the conflict, nor did it sanction Russia proactively. Sanctioning proactively would not even make any sense, why would the would be aggressor choose peace if there already is full sanctions in place for the thing that it is not yet doing?

The comparison does not really hold. Just plain stupid populism. Should Germany really proactively arm the whole world "just in case"?
