00:00Imagine this. Two-thirds of Europeans believe their country can't defend itself if Russia
00:04attacks. A new poll has shaken the continent. Over 9,000 people across 9 EU countries were
00:10asked a chilling question. Could your nation stand up to a Russian invasion? And 69% said
00:16no. Even in France, the most confident, more than half had doubts. In Belgium, Italy, and
00:21Portugal, that number jumps above 85%. Why the fear? Geography plays a big part. Countries
00:28further from Russia feel safer, but also less prepared. And it comes just days after Vladimir
00:33Putin said Russia is ready right now to fight Europe. His words landed like a warning shot.
00:40The EU is pouring billions into defense, ramping up weapon production and military spending.
00:45But the people aren't convinced. Because while politicians talk about rearmament, citizens
00:51are wondering, if Russia comes knocking, who will answer?
