NATO Needs to Be ‘More Aggressive’ Towards Russia – Top Commander

 

NATO members should find ways to be more aggressive towards Russia, the US-led alliance’s top military chief has said.

Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, chair of the NATO Military Committee, told the Financial Times (FT) in an interview published on Sunday that member states have been weighing options to respond to what he described as Russia’s “hybrid war.”

“We are studying everything … being more aggressive or being proactive instead of reactive is something that we are thinking about,” Dragone said. The commander added that a “pre-emptive strike” could be considered a “defensive action,” though it would be “further away from our normal way of thinking and behavior.”

According to FT, diplomats from Eastern Europe have been especially vocal in demanding tougher actions against Russia, including retaliatory cyberattacks. Dragone noted, however, that NATO’s decision-making has been constrained by legal and ethical concerns, as well as jurisdiction. — RT

 

Our Take: Oh really? That’s your master plan? And here I was assuming that NATO’s entire existence was predicated on an aggressive posture toward Russia and studying ways to become even more aggressive. And I would assume ever since Russia rolled into Ukraine in early 2022, and NATO branded it as an existential threat toward all of Europe, that NATO would have really kicked it up a notch and made preparations for a potential all-out war with Russia.

But no, this whole time NATO has been playing opossum, conserving its deadly energy for the perfect moment — four years after Putin’s invasion; after the Ukrainian military has gotten its ass kicked and regime leaders are resigning in disgrace (after being exposed for stealing hundreds of millions of dollars in aid money from the west); and [as] Trump and Putin are days away from announcing a peace deal — to shift into that highest gear and unleash NeoCon fury onto those damned Ruskies.

I guess I’ve really underestimated the geniuses at NATO. I thought they were in over their heads and had no idea what they were doing; but in reality they were just pretending to be retarded and incompetent to lull Putin into a false sense of security.

Putin thinks that by destroying the Ukrainian-Nazi war machine, exposing its politicians for being grifting frauds, and cornering the regime to the point of desperation — leading to humiliating outcomes — that he can conquer his declared enemy and just win the day?

Jokes on you, Vlad. You have awoken the Jewish Nazis and EuroFags, and filled them with terrible resolve. — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry
