I have to say I'm flabbergasted at how slow the EU has been.
The first thing the EU should've done, after banning all Russians and bombing the Nordstream, was invade Kaliningrad.

The EU has been actually pretty fast considering how slow it typically is about deciding things...
"Let's not expand war" is what the aggressor wants, because then the aggressor knows he can escalate as much as he wants, since his opponents won't escalate further. The aggressor gets to control the pace.
Yes, escalating war is exactly the right thing to do in this situation. While keeping the door open for Russia to deescalate at any moment it chooses, by leaving Ukraine.
