Why are European nations concerned about their security in relation to Russia and Ukraine?
European nations are legitimately concerned about their security because Russia now poses a real and imminent threat of attack. Dr. Malcolm Davis explains that this worry extends to Ukraine's situation, as European leaders understand the strategic implications of Russia's potential victory there. If Russia were to win in Ukraine, especially if the West cedes Ukraine to meet Putin's demands, it would reinforce the prospect of a wider regional war. This outcome would significantly increase security risks for European nations, validating their current apprehensions and necessitating stronger defensive postures across the continent.

What is the significance of Thavur Rana's extradition case in relation to the 2008 Mumbai attacks?
Thavur Rana's extradition case represents a crucial step in seeking justice for the devastating 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. India has been actively pursuing his extradition from the United States, as he is accused of assisting David Coleman Headley in gathering critical intelligence that facilitated the attacks. Headley, who was one of the main conspirators, has already pleaded guilty to his involvement. The attacks resulted in the tragic loss of 166 lives, including 20 security force personnel and 26 foreign nationals, during the assault on Mumbai's iconic Taj Hotel on November 26, 2008. The extradition case symbolizes the ongoing international cooperation between India and the United States in combating terrorism and ensuring that those responsible for such heinous acts face justice, regardless of where they may seek refuge.
