German media outlets Süddeutsche Zeitung, WDR, and NDR also cite the report, noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin appears intent on testing NATO’s Article 5 guarantees. The alliance’s mutual defence clause obliges member states to come to one another’s aid if attacked.

    They’ll make it ✨ inconvenient✨ for people.

    Sabotaging water sources (already practiced this in Finland), power stations (happened in Sweden), cutting undersea cables.

    Way too many people are willing to let other people die rather than be inconvenienced.
