NATO chief warns Europe of war 'on the scale of our grandparents' is around the corner - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"We are Russia 's next target. I fear that too many are quietly complacent. Too many don't feel the urgency. And too many believe that time is on our side. It is not. The time for action is now. Conflict is at our door. Russia has brought war back to Europe. And we must be prepared."
"They are still drumming up the conflict by establishing the so-called Coalition of the Willing', by increasing their military expenditure and trying to save their own political future. They are ramping up Russia's care, promote the ideas of a Russian attack in the future. They are still having and harbouring fantasies of sending their own military troops to Ukraine as to-called peacekeepers. But these so-called peacekeepers would immediately become legitimate targets for the Russian armed forces. The Europeans must understand that."
Europe faces the prospect of large-scale war as Russia is identified as a next target and conflict is described as returning to the continent. Many European leaders are assessed as complacent and underestimating the urgency, creating a need for rapid increases in defence spending and accelerated weapons production as deterrence. Preparation for war on the scale of previous world wars is urged, including stepped-up military readiness. Future international peacekeeping forces in Ukraine are characterized as potential legitimate targets for Russian armed forces, and European and British actions are accused of escalating the situation.
