The worst-case scenario is now a possible one: European troops fighting off an invasion largely alone.
It’s by no means clear the Europeans would succeed. Romanian and other European officials at the exercise in Cincu, about 260 kilometers (162 miles) north of Bucharest by road, voiced concerns about how long it would take for NATO allies to make it to the front.
French four-star General Philippe de Montenon said he’s confident Europe could prevail, even without the US on side. “The direction of history is a progressive disengagement of the United States from the European continent,” he said.
UH OH - you did a ‘leftism’ in the warmongering liberal instance. you get sentenced to several downvotes and a brainwashed accusation!
Warmongering in this case being defined as discussing the possibility of another nation state attacking them.
the situation in ukraine did not happen in a vacuum. there are reasons why russia decided to invade.
there is no logical explaination why russia would want to attack NATO and trigger article 5.
but hey as long as the fear exists we can watch line go up in rheinmetall, saab & dassault stocks so the capital of a stagnating empire can save itself.
What a wild thing to say about supporting a sovereign nation in defending its borders.
“Preparing to confront Russia” (post title) is not supporting any nation in defending its borders.
Oh, and if you read even for 2 seconds past the headline what does it say? Does it say “The worst-case scenario is now a possible one: European troops fighting off an invasion largely alone”? Does that sound like nations defending their borders or not like nations defending their borders?
Surely western propaganda frames it as a defensive war. So does Russian propaganda, you know? In Russia, all media talk of the “Special Military Operation” as a defensive push to protect Russian ethnics from genocide in Eastern Ukraine. Do I believe this? Not one bit. Do I believe that Europe’s mliotaries, traditionally used to invade the entirety of Africa and carry out colonial exploitation, or to invade middle eastern nations for their oil, are only good boys trying to defend ourselves from an evil third country? Absolutely fucking not. Europe is also a rabid militaristic dog. Half of Europe is about to elect fascists into government, and the last thing I want to see are fascists with military power in my country and the neighboring ones.
