- yrgulation 5y agoRossiya 1 channel with a few screenshots here (i dont usually trust the dailymail but it seems to be quite active in sharing what they are up to): https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10619805/Russian-state-TV-discusses-Putin-invade-NATO-Baltic-states.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10619805/Russian-st... I’d like to think this is fake or that the ex colonel mentioned in the article is just one of the many crazies, but it’s on national tv and that makes it worrying. And while not a direct threat to occupy countries, just today, putin said something like: “the wests political and economic dominance ends”, and rt posted this in the propaganda: “The Western elites, according to Putin, have turned their countries into an “empire of lies,” but Russia will keep on presenting its own position to the whole world, no matter what.” Another, the chief of the svr (spy agency), said: https://www.tbsnews.net/world/russian-spy-chief-warns-countrys-fate-be-decided-coming-days-385994?amp https://www.tbsnews.net/world/russian-spy-chief-warns-countr... “The fate of Russia is being decided, its future place in the world," Naryshkin said.” and “"In such matters, Russia has never retreated and will not retreat, because otherwise it will cease to be Russia".” So while they might not attack the baltics or poland and romania tomorrow they most definitely are hell bent on expanding russia’s influence. Now they are telling russians that its a matter of “sovereignty”. It’s only a question of time i believe until they push west.
- muzika 5y agoWow thank you
- yrgulation 5y agoIf any of this gives you anxiety please remember that i am just a random person on the internet and not an expert. I am expressing a personal feeling not backed by data. However i do worry we are a bit lax in regards to propaganda and i worry of erosion from within. On the plus side, there is simply no mathematical calculation that could lead to russia wining against the west - east eu nato members included - if there is political will and unity. We’d overwhelm the russian army. The west has nukes as well and unless we drop hundreds of nukes a nuclear winter and total life annihilation is highly unlikely. Actually even that is propaganda: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30533432 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30533432 Page 23 in the linked pdf, second column, second paragraph. Anyway just personal thoughts, probably even violating the community’s comment guidelines, but happy to be corrected by those more knowledgeable.
