    I know this is verging on conspiracy, but there’s been so much preparation, plans and drills being put into motion, I’m starting to believe there’s concrete intelligence compared to “Russia is being aggressive again”.

    Suppose that war does break out in near future.

    What should the regular citizens of NATO do to prepare for that?

    It’s worth noting at a full on war between all of Europe and Ruzzia will turn full nuclear very quickly, since Ruzzia will be absolutely smashed very very quickly.

    Europe needs huge nuclear weapon capability (1000s of warheads) to pre-emptively destroy Ruzzia quickly from day 1 of the war, or risk annihilation.

  4. Let’s face it world won’t be how it used to be. It’s better to die on the side of the good rather to side with dictators, pedophiles and Nazis. Once again we have to fight for our freedom and peace because of these fuckers

  5. +100. And real (aka visible to russia pragmatically, not on paper) preparations is the only way really block Russian appetite for wars of conquest and prevent them, imho. Promises and “we will do it later” will not work with Russia – they are simply expecting from the start that any such developments will turn into endless bla-blas

  6. I’m not particularly fond of the idea of war. But I intellectually understand the “si vis pacem, para bellum” principle. Now, while russia is a foe to consider, their lamentable expedition in Ukraine makes them look more like a paper tiger. I may change my stance under heavy artillery bombardment though. Now, aren’t we avoiding the elephant in the room? Even if not as geographically relevant, what if China decided to go rogue like russia? They could after all move troops around through russia (wouldn’t fare well for them but who can tell?)

    **No one actually believes this bullshit, give it a rest.**

    **1) Russia couldn’t even take Kyiv.**

    **2) Russias own men are fleeing the country to not get drafted.**

    **3) Russia had to draft in north koreans because they ran out of men.**

    **4) The Drafted North Koreans went awol and fled to other countries.**

    **5) Russias own military tried to Coup.**

    **6) Russia struggles to hold the donbas regions.**

    **7) Ukrainians actually managed to take russian soil.**

    **8) Russian tanks are using plastic shielding.**

    **9) Russian military equipment is so outdated it fails regularly on the war front.**

    **Before you jump on the ” But But But other countries will put boots on the ground like China ! “**

    **No they wont ..** **Chinas current strategy is to maintain a position of pro-Russian neutrality.. providing the essential economic and technological lifeline (which is what Russia needs most to sustain its war machine – but despite that lifeline is still failing) while strictly avoiding a military commitment that would undermine its core foreign policy principles and expose its economy to catastrophic Western sanctions.**

    **Would highly recommend you ignore most if not all media pushing some kind of war rhetoric.**

    **It’s just politicians with Stocks and Shares in military tech companies pushing bullshit policies that are against your interests.**

    **————————————————————–**

    **The only enemy here is the politicians that have systematically dismantled your country to benefit their own pockets.**

    And US will stand in Russia’s side if they don’t get rid of Pedo in Chief asap

  9. Russia will attack us with what? Their 200 shitty jets? They can only really use nukes to get any chance with the West.

  10. Well, once they buff up the armies, Europe will make sure there is a war!! Gotta exercise the military indutrial complex they spent a trillion dollars on!

  11. janescontradiction on

    Any Russian threats at this point are meant to make European countries spend more at home than to send to Ukraine.

    Ukraine can win, and they’re already having major affects on the Russian economy.

  12. Stop getting us civilians involved in wars, go fight them yourselves. No sain person is going to fight on behalf of rich powerful people.

    Rutte wants that the Europeans countries increase their military budgets and agitating the spectre of an all out war is a way like another to get them to do it.
    The country that worries me the most is Poland. One Russian missile on their face by mistake, one of their plane shot down and they will retaliate 100%. They hate the Russians so much. That could start shit because they would use the article 5 and NATO would have to act.
    I doubt China would join the party, too much to loose and Taiwan is on their mind too.
    But Russia alone could be a big piece of work. And I strongly suspect that now, for Putin, being at war is a question of survival (his own survival). He fucked up his country so much that they would eat him alive if he drops his pants in front of NATO.

    So a war? Very likely yes. 5 years? Seems a bit too close in Time, more 10 or 15, takes time to rebuild army and launches conscriptions.

    Except if Putin gets turned off by his people before.

  14. The main point of NATO is to prepare for war with Russia. What else have they been doing for decades and the cost of billions and billions of dollars?

  15. I mean it must be really bad, whatever intel is causing this tallk to be had. Russia literally killed people on British soil this past decade, and just got a stern telling off so yeah, must be bad.

  16. The new battlefield game gonna have ultra realistic graphics, dunno how I feel about the one life only system though

  17. ObsolescentCorvid on

    This to me sounds like he’ll eventually start the argument “we have to preemptively strike Russia before Russia attacks us”.

  18. Im just here to say: I think this is mostly to drive up stonks.

    Russia is fighting one european country for almost 4 years now without success.
    I very much doubt they would do any better going to war with multiple countries.

  19. TheChernobilly on

    Russia can’t even take over Ukraine, their army is in shambles, the idea of a war with Europe is ridiculous. The only real asset they have is nuclear weapons, but that isnt really war, that’s just mutual total destruction. Also, looking at their latest missile tests, i wonder how many warheads they are actually able to launch (successfully).

  20. Economically and demographically Europe should be able to wipe the floor with Russia. The problem is the same its always been, can they all work together.

    Also, congrats are in order Germany. You all played the long game and ended up winning WW2 via economic means.
