Italian Defense Minister: The appearance of Russian tanks in Kyiv will lead to the start of a third world war

European politicians are not only increasingly declaring the possibility of an early large-scale offensive by the Russian army in Ukraine, but also speculating what will happen if it turns out to be successful. All these conversations and forecasts are conducted with one goal - to prevent the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for which it is necessary to strengthen military assistance to Kyiv.

As an argument, the "scarecrow" that has already become familiar to Western propagandists about the possible start of a large-scale war, which allegedly will be provoked by the victorious Russia, is used. As if a large-scale war of the West against Russia is not being waged now.



This time, the familiar topic of preventing the defeat of Kyiv, which threatens the security of all of Europe, was developed by Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, who warned that the emergence of Russian tanks in Kyiv, it turns out, will inevitably lead to the beginning of the third world war.

The third world war would have begun at the moment when Russian tanks would have appeared in Kyiv and on the borders of Europe

- quotes the statement of Crosetto, made during a meeting with his French colleague Sebastien Lecornu, Italian TV channel RaiNews.

To avoid such a scenario, the head of the Italian military department is sure, it is necessary to prevent the advance of the RF Armed Forces on the Ukrainian front. Strange logic, according to which the appearance of Western tanks in Ukraine, for some reason, should not lead to a global war ...

      then Putin and Co. showed miracles of "gestures of good will."

      These miracles were forced when the troops were abandoned without preparation, without reconnaissance, without support. The biggest losses during the movement of uncovered columns. So they were forced to make a smart face and withdraw the troops.

        Otherwise, they did not know that before the start of the war it was necessary to carry out reconnaissance, draw up a plan, prepare troops and rear. We decided that everything will go away on a fool and got completely raked. To this we must add the non-professionalism of the commanding staff of our army and political impotence with the infantilism of the state leadership

        The biggest losses during the movement of uncovered columns

        In 2014, they moved in columns to the places of deployment of Ukrainian troops in the Crimea. Politely organized without shooting. Understanding the seriousness of the situation and the strength of the Russian Federation, the Ukrainian local Crimean command did not dare to give the order to open fire. The calculation of our General Staff in February 2022 was that, just like in Crimea, the Ukrainians would not dare to shoot at the Russian troops, who defiantly politely moved towards Kyiv in long columns. But by the year 22, the Ukrainian General Staff was stuffed with numerous Western military advisers and controllers. For them, Ukraine is an alien wild country and these advisers will not have to be responsible for any development of events. In addition, the main command officers of the Ukrainian army underwent retraining in NATO educational and ideological centers. They managed to get rid of unreliable graduates from Soviet military educational institutions. From the General Staff received an order to shoot. Everything. Rushed.

          Only for some reason they "forgot" that 8 years had passed, and those 12-14 year old boys for all these eight years received information only about the "aggression" of the Russian "occupiers", about the exclusivity of hohlonation, and became soldiers and commanders who were in these barracks. ..

    World War III would have started the moment Russian tanks appeared in Kyiv
    Italian, can you find Kyiv on the map without a hint? It would be nice if he would also refer to Russian tanks in Rome, and then the desire of the head of NATO to start a war with a nuclear power over Italy is a big question. And here Ukraine is the navel of the Earth, on which Western democracy rests. I have always been interested in what kind of incubator European ministers and politicians grow up in. All standard and all, without exception, are nonsense when it comes to Russia.

    "Strange logic, according to which the appearance of Western tanks in Ukraine, for some reason, should not lead to a global war..."
    Nothing strange. It's just that "the appearance of Western tanks in Ukraine" is a planned stage of NATO's invasion of Russia, which NATO is very happy with. While the "appearance of Russian tanks in Kyiv" may herald a "bang" and the distribution of elephants to NATO, which has long been stunned by impunity. It is logical that this option is somewhat annoying for the West;)

    Nous votons pour changer les idées, changer de paradigme vers une politique plus conforme à nos idées et finalement...
    Les politiciens appliquent les mêmes idées ...les leurs!
    Je crois Huxley avait écrit : "La dictature parfaite serait une dictature qui aurait les apparences de la démocratie, une prison sans murs dont les prisonniers ne songeraient pas à s'évader. Un système d'esclavage où, grâce à la consommation et au divertissement les esclaves auraient l'amour de leur servitude..."
    Cela doit déjà être le cas, car même lorsque par les votes nous changeons les politiciens ils appliquent la même politique que les précédents ce ministre Italien en est un exemple de plus!

    I believe that Huxley wrote: "The ideal dictatorship would be a dictatorship that would have the signs of democracy, a prison without walls, the prisoners of which would not think of escaping. A system of slavery in which, through consumption and entertainment, slaves would love their slavery .. ."

    La troisième guerre mondiale a commencée dès que nous (Otan/EC/USA) avons commencé à fournir de l'armement à l'Ukraine.
    Lorsque je dis nous ce sont les politiques et une majorité de citoyens dont les cerveaux ont été lavés à coup de médias...
    Exemple en France un seul candidat à la présidence disait toujours, : "il faut parler avec la Russie, il faut développer des liens, ne pas suivre les USA etc etc" sa position après le 24 Février l'a fait tomber de 19% à 7% ... J'en déduis que seuls 7% des Français veulent réellement lier plus de lien avec la Russie.
    Depuis peu, même dans une tout autre coloration politique, certain commencent par exemple la pétition initiée par Klarsefd mais elle a très peut de signataires maintenant seulement 14678 signatures

    World War III started as soon as we (NATO/EU/USA) started supplying weapons to Ukraine.
    When I say "we", it's the politicians and most of the citizens who have been brainwashed by the media...

    Recently, even with a completely different political coloring, some start, for example, a petition initiated by Clarsefd, but perhaps only 14678 signatures have signed it now

    And on what borders of Europe. If it doesn’t change me, then, according to the school geography course, the eastern border of Europe runs along the Urals. Uralvagonzavod, which produces Russian tanks, by the way, is located just 25-30 km from the conditional border of Europe and Asia. It turns out that it is there, and on a daily basis, that Russian tanks appear on the border of Europe for more than a day ... Something like that.

      Let's leave aside the question of the ethics of the statement about the genocide, which, in your opinion, the Russians should commit in the event of a big war.

      Let's move on to more practical questions - how long ago did your "we'll burn" control over weapons of mass destruction and why do you think that a government with massive children and grandchildren in Europe (often married to Europeans) would not prefer de-escalation and regrouping to the destruction of relatives? You don’t even have to stutter about “in this case, the Russians will rebel” - the Russian population is obedient to power, plus the absolute majority is against genocide and nuclear war, and NATO will not be the first to use nuclear weapons, this is unprofitable for it.

      And the next practical question - your comment about "we will burn all Europeans" is quite drawn to discredit the RF Armed Forces and for such a statement pouring water on the mill of Ukrainian propaganda, it may actually be worth punishing to the fullest extent of the law.
