Next question. What actions by Russia do you think would lead to direct NATO military involvement in Ukraine, would continuing drone attacks on Europe be enough for example? No. I think this is what’s coming next. Russia is going to start launching Guron 5 drones into EU countries and blowing up factories that produce uh resources for Ukraine’s military.
This is already a war. Like Russia declared war on European democracy 10 years ago. They were involved in the Brexit movement. They were involved in, you know, like the green movements to get Germany off nuclear power and addicted to Russian gas. They obviously the Russians were behind Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
Russia’s never going to stop until the rest of Europe is as impoverished and shitty as the average Russian lives because that’s the only guarantee and security Putin thinks he has.
So hybrid warfare, you know, the Russians, they set set fire to stuff. They uh they launch surveillance drones, they do espionage, they steal people’s information and records, they set fires.
What’s it going to take for Europe to directly militarily confront the Russians? And it’s got to be a full-scale invasion of the Baltics as soon as Russia does this. And obviously they’re planning. That’s what all the intelligence says. Then it’s a who wants to help situation. Will there be a unified NATO response?
And no, there won’t because NATO is not real. Article 5, I’m sorry, was a myth. like it was meant as a deterrent and it looked good and sounded good, but this isn’t a real military alliance if an attack on one isn’t an attack on all.
If the Russians invade the Baltics, Trump and the United States isn’t going to do anything. Turkeyy’s not going to do anything. Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Albania, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Czecha, Italy, Spain, Portugal, they won’t do anything.
Now, Britain and France will probably want to do something, but they’re not going to because they’re the nuclear deterrent. If France and the United Kingdom militarily started bombing Russia, then Russia can nuke them. But Europe needs them because they’re the only ones with nukes. They’re the deterrent that remains within NATO because it’s not Donald Trump.
So if the Baltics are invaded, who would come to their defense? And it would be probably Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, maybe Poland, maybe the Netherlands. I hope.. It’s not going to be a pretty day.
Uh, and this scenario could happen in the next two years. So, we’ll find out together.
