I've noticed that in both Belgium and The Netherlands there has been an increase in war talk lately, saying how we need more military personnel and that we need to be wary of Russia. I've seen some British articles about it too.

Now, I hope it is purely coincidental otherwise I'd have to get worried about EU+UK being complete idiots and preparing for war.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Spain making a killing off the switch to LNG since nordstream was killed? iirc y'all have like one of two LNG import ports in Europe so Spain's actually one of the few EU countries to come out ahead on this war economically

What I can say is that we have been importing a lot of Russian LNG, and for what I see at some point we were their 2nd largest clients worldwide only behind China. I couldn't find any information regarding how well has Spain's economy fared with this, but in other sources I found that only 5% of what we are buying goes to other members of the EU, so there's also that.
