NATO Secretary General Rutte said today that Europe must be prepared for 'the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured' as the alliance is Putin's 'next target'

NATO Secretary General Rutte said the alliance was Vladimir Putin's "next target" as he called on members to prepare for "the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured".

Speaking in Berlin, Rutte said Europe is "already in the danger zone". He also thinks Russia could be ready to use military force against NATO within five years.

Rutte said: "We are Russia's next target. I fear that too many are quietly complacent. Too many don't feel the urgency. And too many believe that time is on our side. It is not. The time for action is now."

"Conflict is out our door. Russia has brought war back to Europe. We must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured."

His comments came after Russian state TV issued a nuclear threat to the UK following news that a British paratrooper had died in Ukraine.

Putin's propagandists said the presence of British armed forces in Ukraine amounts to a “casus belli” for a nuclear strike on the UK. Leading Russian news anchor Vladimir Solovyov told viewers on his nightly show: “Now a nuclear strike on Britain is inevitable.”

Historian Andrey Sidorov, another Putin cheerleader, said on state TV: “This incident should be considered a casus belli, when the British Ministry of Defence officially acknowledged the death of its military personnel on active duty on Ukrainian territory.”

The only way the inbred globalist oligarchs of the EU can remain in power is to instigate a war and declare martial law for the next thirty years.

It has to be the Chinese behind this crap.

There is zero chance of Russia doing squat after essentially being drawn to a draw against the Ukraine.

So long, Mom
I’m off to drop the bomb
So don’t wait up for me
But though I may roam
I’ll come back to my home
Although it may be
A pile of debris
Remember, Mommy
I’m off to get a Commie
So send me a salami
And try to smile somehow
I’ll look for you when the war is over
An hour and a half from now

Okay, EU, POUND THOSE WAR DRUMS. We see you and understand you.

[Repeal The 17th]

What?
Is Germany going to start another one?

[Salman]

The ruling classes of western Europe want a big war to exterminate their indigenous working classes.

They are just short of saying so openly.

Really we should disengage from European including closing bases in Germany from two wars ago.

NATO is pissed that daddy Trump isnt going to send them free cash they are spewing their neocon stupidity again

[17th Miss Regt]

I agree. The quality of Russian leadership in the current war has been wretched.

[Seruzawa]

First you need to get your EU youths off of the weed. And have them cut their ponytails off and deal with the SDIs most of them have. I’m sure Putin is quaking in his boots, worried about the Royal Navy’s 8 destroyers.

[Yashcheritsiy]

War is definitely coming to Europe.

It just won’t be with the Russians.

[PIF]

Russia plans to continue fighting for 10-17 years, regardless of anything else. The Russians are already setting Zero Day conditions with drone overflights and sabotage across the Baltics, Poland and Germany. Russia has also been building forces in Kalinngrad, Belarus, and on the Russian side of the Finnish border.

You can believe in the might of Russia and the glory of Putin all you want, but that does not change their historical behavior nor their announced intentions.

Fine with me as long as the US doesn’t save their azzes yet again.

[cuban leaf]

I agree with him. The left is in scorched earth mode. I’m glad I don’t live in Europe.

[Kazan]

That there is a stalemate in Ukraine is lunacy.

Russia's goal for more than two years has been to destroy the Ukrainian military and save lives by fighting a war of attrition.

"Conflict is out our door. Russia has brought war back to Europe. We must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured."

Drama queen.

[Az Joe]

Do tell....

[JimRed]

Russia is struggling to subjugate Ukraine; what makes EU leaders think that they are next? It’s just “keep us in power” BS.

[T.B. Yoits]

There will be war but not from Russia. It will be within each country as the invaders, welcomed in by the ruling class, attempts to seize power.

[Da Coyote]

Sorry Europe. You might have thought of this when you were spending money on supporting all those folks pushing the religion of hate, misogyny, lies, and rape instead of trying to defend yourselves. You folks really need a Trump.
