Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Dmitry Polyansky highlighted that the alliance "continues to rely on hybrid warfare, in which a bleeding Ukraine fights on everyone’s behalf"

VIENNA, October 29. /TASS/. Russia and NATO are moving closer to a direct military clash with each passing day, said Dmitry Polyansky, Russia’s permanent representative to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

"A direct military clash between Russia and NATO has not yet occurred, although we are moving closer to that point every day," he told a regular meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council. TASS has obtained the text of his remarks.

Polyansky said the alliance "continues to rely on hybrid warfare, in which a bleeding Ukraine fights on everyone’s behalf." He also described the Ukrainian authorities’ actions against the Russian language, Russian speakers, canonical Orthodoxy and Orthodox Christians as manifestations of that warfare.

All part of the Great Reset. Draft all the legacy Europeans and send them off to slaughter. Exempt the Turd World “migrants.”

The only reason Russia would have for attacking some of their best customers is if the checks for all that Russian energy the EU and UK have been buying are starting to bounce.

Wait, we were all criticizing Europe for NOT preparing for war by under spending, now they are too militaristic?

Fact is Europe never wanted/planned for a war with Russia and after the breakup of the Soviet Union severely reduced military spending. All this changed only with Putin's invasion of neighboring Ukraine.

The Historical Peace Dividend (1992–2022): After the Cold War, European nations drastically cut military budgets to focus on domestic welfare, healthcare, and infrastructure (investing an estimated $8.6 trillion less than NATO guidelines over three decades).

NATO is not interested in attacking Russia, it’s solely a defensive alliance

And wars don’t “break out”, they get started because one country outright attacked another (like Russia attacking Ukraine)

So if we do ever get a war between Russia and NATO, it will only be because RUSSIA ATTACKED FIRST

1. Europe has let their militaries degrade on purpose
2. They continue to be Russia’s best gas customer
3. Trump has ended Europe’s theft of taxpayer money
4. Europe feigns support of Ukraine while making the US do the heavy lifting in support

I say Europe is working a plan with Russia, China, etc. to hit America and replace the Petrodollar

The EU is desperate to get us into a war with Russia as cover for their treason against their own people’s by letting in muslim hordes.

Its the neighbors of Russia that have to worry not the UK. Finland wisely dropped its 75 years of neutrality, only enforced by treaties with Russia and quickly joined NATO. The only real guarantee against a Putin invasion.

Anybody who claims to understand or know what Putin is thinking is severely mistaken.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

None of that is true.

Europe is broke.

Their elites need a war to cling to power.

It's called a proxy war. It's is Putin and Russia which have engaged in hybrid war against neighboring countries, including Putin's assassination of Polish President Lech Kaczynski by shooting down the presidential jet in 2010. The wreckage still has not been returned 16 years later.

That’s got to be one of the most idiotic things ever posted on FR

You really that clueless?

[packrat35]

Coming from a Ukraine First guy, you got no room to talk. The EU is broke and has betrayed their own people to the point of treason.

[packrat35]

This is true also. Just like Zelensky can’t stop the war or he will lose power.

[canuck_conservative]

America is broke too

Even more than the EU

So what?

[tlozo]

Europe is broke.

So then Russia is lying, Europe is not a threat to Russia.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Pay no attention to cuck_conservative.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Europe isn’t broke?

Any proof of that?

[lgjhn23]

Let these eurowweenies deal with it,
As long as it’s not our blood & treasure defending em.....again.

[canuck_conservative]

Pay no attention to the Pootin stooges that proliferate like weeds on this site

[tlozo]

Europe isn’t broke?

Any proof of that?

Am agreeing with you, therefore a broke Europe is not a threat to Russia.
