    Remember that they want Europe to be afraid and stockpile material that otherwise would go to ukraine.

    I mean this was true 20 years ago, it wasn’t as obvious before they invaded Georgia in 2008 (let alone now), but multi decade research (including research that accounts for preference falsification) has clearly shown a consistent level of support among a strong majority of russian society for genocidal imperialism.

    Define “ready”, Martin Jaeger. They’re second best in Ukraine, so it can’t be in terms of capacity to win.

      If you disregard ability to win, any one of us is technically ready to attack Europe.

      They still have their usual ‘wunderwaffle’ to roll out - Waves of Humans and zero care for human lives.

      Russia is as dangerous now as Japan was in WW2.

    Putin is testing for years how far he can go. He uses salami tactics on NATO for ages.

    A bit of sabotage here, planes and drones flying in or over NATO territory, ghost ships and shadow fleets doing crimes, disturbing GPS, etc, etc, etc.

    A bunch of European businesses are still doing business with Russia, so doubt it’s true.

    We’ve been hearing this for years.

    I am ready to have a hot confrontation with a pack of rabid hyenas.

    …actually, that didn’t sound right.

    you know what? I’ll just leave.
