The head of NATO's military committee announced a possible preemptive strike against Russia.

The West continues to speculate about some kind of hybrid attacks by our country. The head of NATO's military committee, Italian Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, even spoke of a possible preemptive strike against Russia.

A representative of the North Atlantic Alliance spoke about this to journalists from the British newspaper The Financial Times.

He said:

We think about being more aggressive and proactive rather than reactive.

The admiral calls for the alliance to take a more assertive stance against Russia's "hybrid warfare." He once again accused our country of cyber hacking, violating NATO airspace, and various acts of sabotage. He sees Russia as a threat to Western states.

Dragone laments:

When it comes to cybersecurity, we act rather reactively.

In his opinion, the alliance should instead take preventive action. The military official notes that many Western diplomats, especially from Eastern European countries, share this view.

It's strange, but Dragone somehow doesn't realize that the implementation of such a strategy could bring trouble, first and foremost, to those who carry it out.

At the same time, the admiral acknowledges that not all "hybrid" manifestations are related to Russia. The culprits of some of them remain unknown, including damage to undersea cables, cyberattacks across Europe, and much more.

For some reason, he didn't mention the Nord Stream bombings. Apparently, "that's something else."

They've clearly gotten carried away with the war. Because the people in power are idiots like Ursula and Kaya, who aren't responsible for anything.

[stankow]

On a ship, it's like a common sailor at the helm. And the captain decides where the ship sails. Ursula isn't even the first mate. She can't decide anything!

I have a feeling the captain's cabin is still in Washington. All these disagreements, all this "anti-Trump" talk, are nothing more than a publicity stunt. The main thing is that the captain in Washington is successfully achieving all his goals in Europe—economic, political, and military. All these Ursulas are nothing more than a "struggle for survival" for tourists.
But "their ship," meanwhile, is heading straight for the reefs. And the captain knows this—he's plotting the course, after all. He'll even sell the wreckage for scrap metal at 10 rubles a kilogram...

[stankow]

I think so too, but it's disconcerting that Trump himself complained about some "deep state" that's hindering him. If I were to say, yes, conspiracy theories, etc., but Trump has dozens of intelligence agencies reporting to him, so he should know...

[Samoyed]

Marxism/Leninism in the Stone Age substantiated and proved that existence determines consciousness. Existence is money, and whoever has the most of it determines the "rate." In short: TNCs.

In general, this is all correct, but the captain has a voyage assignment and regularly communicates with the fleet dispatcher to report on the situation and receive new instructions. The dispatcher reports to the owner and relays management decisions to the captains.

[stankow]

That's it. That's roughly how I imagine the power hierarchy in the West. Only they vehemently deny the existence of dispatchers, an owner, or a captain in the shadows. They say Ursula will rule herself. Yeah, they believed it.

[Azim77]

Well, the EU really feels sorry for the money they wasted. They spent it hoping to recoup it later with cheap resources. They imposed a blockade to dictate prices. But it turns out they failed, they were exploited. Sure, a bunch of bureaucrats are in the money, but the countries themselves, in a field of miracles, are expecting only miracles, and what if what was promised comes true – "crax, fex, pex." Statements from these officials are in that spirit.

I once said a long time ago that some people with their patience can bring us to the point where they attack us, because you can’t fight like that, you have to fight in a way that others don’t want to, like the Jews, for example, but we with our white gloves have already reached the point where they first barked at us, now they are threatening us, and then they might even strike.

There, everyone is so brave after finishing their careers and goes to the USA for a comfortable retirement, and they don't care about their boots.

Well, where will they come from?! Resources are traded on exchanges, not in piles in a field.

It's not so much a matter of "stupidity and irresponsibility" as it is the established practice of "players" and "toys": "players" are not to be touched, while "toys" are expendable, and they are not to be spared. Accordingly, as long as such organizers don't get into trouble, these "gladiator fights" will continue for their amusement.
At the very least, it should be officially declared that anyone calling for the extermination of Russians automatically becomes a criminal offense for those same Russians and their allies, just as anyone directly involved in the organization, planning, logistics, etc., is a legitimate target, along with the direct perpetrators. In other words, this Italian admiral vacationing at his coastal villa, sending his subordinates to kill Russians, is as much a combatant as his soldiers on the LBS.
But this is only possible with a strong government and army, supported by the people, when the vertical of power is cleared of collaborators whose families, accounts, and property are under the control of enemies, and when the population does not consider itself second-class citizens, who are walked all over by anyone who "has joined the trough," ignoring the laws.

Under the strong rule of the USSR and those who did not consider themselves second-class citizens, the USSR for some reason did not declare criminal prosecution of NATO members, but instead sold them gas on the cheap, and did not declare China a legitimate target for its massive supply of weapons to the dushmans.

They announced criminal prosecution for those who bombed Sukhaya Rechka? Yeah, but the authorities were much tougher than that.

[Stas157]

Quote: your1970

For some reason, the USSR did not announce the criminal prosecution of NATO members.

Everyone's got their own thing, but the lousy one's always talking about the bathhouse. You manage to throw stones at the USSR on any topic. You're simply amazing! Calm down already. There's no point in fighting something that no longer exists.

Until the moment when opponents continue to speak with aplomb about “But this didn’t/did not happen under the USSR,” accusing Russia of anything, I will write.
If you don't understand this - that the USSR wasn't an icon in a shrine, but an ordinary state with its own quirks and quirks - what can I do?
And yes, I repeat, I am not at war with the USSR, I am infuriated by attacks on the Russian Federation by comparing it with fantastic (never existed in reality) USSR..

[Stas157]

Quote: your1970

was an ordinary state

The USSR was not an ordinary state. It occupied a unique place in 20th-century history as one of two superpowers in a bipolar world, with corresponding military-strategic, scientific, and technological potential.

[your1970]

Quote: Stas157

USSR was not quite ordinary state. The USSR occupied a unique place in the history of the 20th century.

What difference does this make? Does it make him perfect? ​​Or were his bosses just pooping marshmallows and therefore not doing anything stupid?
Or did it have an ideal population? Or was there no crime? Or no army?

Spitting on the present is not the same as reviving
the best of the past. And vice versa.

[Samoyed]

The attack isn't on the Russian Federation, but on the system of government. Read the Criminal Code—the more you steal, the lesser the punishment. In the USSR, large-scale theft was punishable by death. Technology develops based on what's been done, not from scratch each time. It's like denying the positive aspects of the Soviet system of government.

1. Did you find the word "USSR" anywhere in my text?
2. In fact, the GRU and the KGB processed quite a few convicted persons.
3. If we're going to raise the topic of the airfield near Sukha Rechka being "attacked by mistake by pilots" (I'd like to draw attention to the quotation marks - this is the official diplomatic version, clearly not true, but...), then we must remember the Mustangs shot down by Kozhedub, who were attacking our forces near Berlin, and that he, while still commanding the 324th Fighter Division, significantly increased the "they're-not-there" score in the Korean War.

[your1970]

Since you brought WEAK Russian authorities - I am in this capacity counterexample brought the USSR with STRONG power.

that after he was still in command of the 324th fighter "they are not there" he significantly increased the score in the Korean War.

the only problem was there was war OUT territories of countries.
And so, American advisers have quite evened out the score in Afghanistan.

We don't have that kind of money to play with such expensive toys.

I completely agree. The new Russia is not the USSR, unfortunately.

the people at the helm of power are stupid, like Ursula and Kaya, who are not responsible for anything

[Pioneer1984]

They got carried away solely because of the impotence of the Russian authorities.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: Pioneer1984

They got carried away solely because of the impotence of the Russian authorities.

And when the Americans and the British developed the "Unthinkable" plan back in 1945, which envisioned a surprise attack on the Soviet Union, whose impotence was the explanation?

By the way, what Churchill wrote in his memoirs about that time:

The destruction of Germany's military might brought about a fundamental change in the relationship between communist Russia and the Western democracies. They lost their common enemy, the war against which had been almost the only link that held their alliance together. From now on, Russian imperialism and the communist doctrine did not see or set limits to its advancement and striving for final domination.
...
first, Soviet Russia became a mortal threat to the free world;
secondly, immediately create a new front against its rapid advancement;
thirdly, this front in Europe must go as far east as possible...

Find the differences with what modern Western politicians say.
So, the issue is not who is in power in our country and what kind of system it has.

[Pioneer1984]

Back then, the plans remained just plans. But here we have quite real actions that are already being implemented.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: Pioneer1984

We have quite some actions here that are already being carried out

Are 47 Anglo-American divisions already pushing Russian troops as far east as possible?

[Pioneer1984]

Why do they need divisions? There are enough logistics hubs in Poland and Romania to supply the "divisions" of the Pig Reich.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: Pioneer1984

Why do they need divisions? Logistics hubs in Poland are quite sufficient.

Pushing Russian troops to the east with logistics hubs is somehow not very realistic, isn't it?
Moreover, in Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan there were also plenty of logistics hubs on both sides, but no one considered this a sign of impotence on the part of either their government or ours.

[Dedok]

Italian Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone even spoke about a possible preemptive strike that would supposedly be carried out against the Russian Federation.

And who is this?
did he ask his "senior" for permission to make such a statement?
or is this statement agreed upon there?
in anticipation of Whitkoff's arrival in Moscow?

[Tagan]

And who is this?
did he ask his "senior" for permission to make such a statement?

A European rooster who decided to play at being brutal. He puffed up his feathers and looked menacing (in his own coop).

[ruha ruhov]

They're practically panicking. First they started this story about aggressive Russians, now Russians really can be aggressive! They shouldn't have started the massacre, they really shouldn't have.
In addition to assessing NATO capabilities, this general should also investigate the capabilities of the Russian Aerospace Forces. What do we have in store for this eventuality?

We think about being more aggressive and proactive rather than reactive.

The meaning of a preemptive action is somewhat different, and the idea of ​​a preemptive strike is the fantasy of an author-provocateur.

Did you only read the title? And the quote itself?

and you?
on this website: https://www.nato.int/en ??
and if you haven't read it there, then all we have to do is use someone else's "retelling" of what we read there...

[tarabar]

I don't trawl through enemy websites; I don't see the point. But even within the confines of the article, the meaning of the title and the article itself isn't supported by factual material, meaning it's all a hoax, a fantasy, a hype machine, a ploy to draw a conclusion, whatever. If there's actual evidence in the original source that supports the article's thesis, why isn't it cited? With respect, I take my leave.

At the end of the publication, it is stated that the news is being updated. The update is available in the media.

However, as Dragone acknowledged, this "goes beyond NATO's normal way of thinking or behaving." He explained that the difficulties relate to "legal frameworks, jurisdictional issues," and who exactly would carry out such actions.

Well, what this admiral blurted out clearly goes beyond not only "legal boundaries" but also beyond the scope of normal human thought. Another Russophobe from the "coalition obsessed" with unleashing a war in Europe.

Imagine Russia would smuggle a truck with drones inside Ukraine, to then attack targets from there, including deliberately on civilians alike the 9/11 WTC towers.
