🇪🇺 Weak Еurope. After all the grandstanding about grit and iron resolve, europeans are already scrambling to drop sanctions for putin's corrupt oligarchs.
It must be hard for Putin to believe that Europe is united in determination to defend every inch of territory when he can see us uniting to remove his friends from the sanctions list.
@TallbarFIN You clearly don't know russians if you think you can pin them down with undeniable facts. They'll always hit you with something like "it was necessary" or "the government knows what it's doing." 🤷🏼♂️
@TallbarFIN These kinds of migrants are basically enemies. If war breaks out, they can cause a ton of damage and trouble. europe needs to deal with people like this right away.
I doubt Fico is the only one undermining #NATO. There might be other leaders too. Not to mention unready militaries and, crucially, public protests that freeze the political will of certain national leaders.
While europe sits paralyzed, too cowardly to mount a hybrid or any other response to the russians, they're buying off gangs, arming them, and winning a political war through the far-right. Weakness breeds war, and it's on the doorstep.
This is no longer a hybrid war; it is simply an evolutionarily new way of waging war. You can respond the old way or come up with a new one, but by failing to respond, you’ll lose very quickly before you even know it.
@Acyn And let's be real: all your secrets were sold out a long time ago. That’s why the russians run these paid-for "projects," not to rub shoulders with the us political elite. Kick them to the curb!
The oligarch, Umar Kremlev, spent hundreds of thousands on expenses like renting out a private island. He appears to have met Trump Jr. only recently, but he attended the intimate wedding with a large group of other Russian guests.
@pepel_klaasa Don't forget that russia's occupation also means wiping out national identity--history, culture, language. People don't talk about this nearly enough.
russia's been running a propaganda war on Europe since 2008, and counter-efforts are still basically zero. Lazy, spineless, weak european officials are walking war right into their own homes.
