Germany warns Russia may be preparing attack on NATO
ukdefencejournal.org.uk
German security officials believe the Kremlin is laying the groundwork for a potential large-scale conventional war with NATO by the end of the decade.

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. The assessment suggests Putin may seek to challenge how seriously that commitment would be honoured.

    Kremlin believed that Ukraine was a country that would fall to their knees, bend over and happily join them.

    Now they are taking their time and bomb civilians, infrastructure.

    They are taking their time. This is not an inability. This is a deliberate breaking of Ukraine’s back.

    Painting russia as unable to take over Ukraine by force is also false. They could throw enough meat to take over. Without blinking an eye.

    Ask yourself. What is more beneficial? Ukraine partisants that keep sabotaging them after a violent takeover? Or disappointed and frustrated Ukraine after it slowly collapsed?

    There were SS groups that consisted of volunteers from the conquered countries.

    Never discredit an enemy. It serves no one but them.

        Interesting. Why block the whole instance? Have you seen a lot of lemm.ee users parroting propaganda? I didn’t realize that instance was so bad.

          Over the months the amount of shit from that instance has convinced me they have zero value or worth, among others

          I mean, ymmv, for all I know their ideals may resonate with you, but for me I am more than convinced it is a proper choice.

          On reddit, 2/3rds of the time I spent there in the last few years has been blocking people to curate my engagement

          Lemmy makes it so easy, I don’t have to do it one at a time now.

          So my procedure is thus: after the 5 rancid comments in a day from users of any given instance, I go and browse the instance. If I keep finding unchallenged rancid replies, then fuck that instance. Lemm.ee has been on my radar for a while now
