    I really don’t know what to make of such claims. Either NATO is way, way weaker then everyone thought or they are trying to BS their way into justifying their own Operation Barbarossa 2.0. Or maybe it’s just more brainrot that there is no use in trying to make sense of.

      Either NATO is way, way weaker then everyone thought

      Probably this. There’s countless signs, from the France disarming line units to send weapons to Ukraine, through UK navy and army not having ammo and missiles, German army being in such shambles they can’t even repair their own tanks to US losing naval operation against country with no navy. Even their numbers are worse than ever, there’s maybe like half million combat personnel in entire EU and their ability to organise operations across the militaries are probably utter shit. Even their supply lines would be in shambles.

      Now, other thing this is telling us that they certainly don’t believe in at least one of their simultaneous pushed stances that Russia is either so weak that it will collapse or so strong it will invade entire Europe (or knowing that in fact both are false as is the reality).

      Last possiblity is that entire political and military structures of NATO already turned into zombie with a rotten White House brain that is increasingly closer to “Après nous, le déluge” in which case we’re fucked and nothing will change that. I hope this is not what will happen, but honestly EU political situation is pointing on exactly that.

    This narrative will be increasingly pushed to justify mass austerity and dismantling of whatever welfare and social programs Europeans still enjoy. Ironically, this will breed mass discontent that will be very easy for Russia to leverage and start gaining political influence over Europe without having to fire a single shot.

    1. We saw the shape of a bear in our oatmeal, this is clearly a sign that Russia is coming to attack.
    2. Our astrologer friend says something about ursa major rising which is clearly code for a Russian attack.
    3. Our tarot card reader says war with the northern power, clearly a sign.
    4. A psychic we hired out of a strip mall says Russia is going to attack, it took her a few attempts, she kept insisting it was space invaders but we pushed back and she got there.
    5. We instacart ordered some groceries. They substituted mac and cheese made with bear shapes for our Kraft classic, clearly a sign. Also it cost 3 times as much.
    6. We had the TV on in the background and weren’t paying attention, we happened to glance back and there was a shot of a California flag in view for a split second. What does that flag have on it? A bear, that’s right, a bear. Another sign.
    7. We asked ouji and it said Russia totally was gonna attack.
    8. We asked a magic eight ball if Russia was going to attack “signs point to yes” was the reply.
    9. We stubbed our toe on some furniture, it had a Russian nesting doll on it one of our grandparents gave us decades ago, clearly a sign of Russian aggression.
    10. We were moving around our alphabet soup with our spoon and after some work trying to get it to spell something out it spelt out “Ruszia war onat” which clearly means Russian war with NATO.

    What’s NATO going to do? Find a new proxy army? They don’t fight anyone that they can’t easily do genocide against should the military campaign go sour.
