The quote comes from Walesa, not any journalist.
I agree with Walesa, although the war need not be “hot”, but may soon be. At the moment, it is mostly covert, with the Russkies recruiting agents of influence and using terrorist proxies to perform their dirty work. With the open invasion of Ukraine (which was already heavily infested with Russian agents), the Russkies are obviously sending a message to all of us. In their media, they are essentially making the case to their people for why the United States must be destroyed. Even the guy who runs RT came and out declared that Russia can “reduce the United States to nuclear ash.” Meanwhile, their politicians and other members of the regime are already discussing how “spontaneous seperatist” activity might begin to occur in Estonia (a NATO country), have already begin harassing them with the recent kidnapping of one of their security agents, and in Lithuania, they are already beginning harrassment there too, such as with the Russian navy taking over Lithaunian fishing boats and the like.
