I’m half convinced Putin wants NATO to get directly involved so that he can pull out of Ukraine and be like “We didn’t lose to Ukraine, it was the West who once again oppresses poor little Russia”
Russia has claimed it’s going to attack a NATO country since before the Ukrainian war started. They like to say it every now and then, just to remind us that they exist and North Eastern Europe is not just an unpopulated wasteland.
That’s a BS headline made to scare people. The article boils down to “Russia theoretically has the capabilities to attack, but don’t because they know the West will be angry”.
And likely the US would eventually intervene once both sides had slugged it out for a while, ensuring they have a seriously compromised enemy and seriously dependent allies…and enrich themselves in the process.
Russia can’t even succeed against Ukraine. What makes him think he has a chance in hell against the combined power of NATO? Hell, man, I’m pretty sure the USA alone would make quick work of Russia in an all out war.
This sounds like possible intelligence, based on the hawkish tone of france lately; europe has its best interests in going full article 5 if this happens.
Unfortunately it would never happen before jan 7 and a tragic election.
Jarosław Stróżyk said Putin is in a position where he could begin planning a small-scale invasion but is holding back due to the West’s response to the attack in Ukraine.
“Putin is certainly already prepared for some mini-operation against one of the Baltic countries, for example, to enter the famous Narva [municipality in Estonia] or to land on one of the Swedish islands,” Mr Stróżyk told Polish paper Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.
Tl;dr - We think that Putin has the capability to mount a small scale invasion, but isn’t doing it because of NATO’s potential response. But if we assume he really wants to, then he will.
Measured against the damage caused so far and the destabilized global situation, such statements are naive. During the Ukraine war, Russia and its allies have already proven several times what a laughing stock NATO is.
Funny how they can do that without NATO being involved at all beyond some member states providing weapons and training. The biggest damage NATO has suffered so far is from second hand embarrassment.
Ah the Russian propaganda from NATO and the west itself your talking about. We ignore the rise of right-wing parties within Europe etc… After all, it’s all Russian propaganda… Just like the intrusion of drones and missiles… all just propaganda Clowns :)
