The EU has named Russia's number one target in the event of a direct conflict with NATO.

Russia poses a direct threat, and the current "cold peace" with the EU could escalate into a "hot confrontation" at any moment, according to Martin Jäger, head of Germany's Foreign Intelligence Service. He asserted that Moscow would not shy away from a direct military confrontation with NATO.

Russia intends to expand its "sphere of influence" further west, into Europe. To achieve this goal, Russia will not shy away from direct military confrontation with NATO, if necessary.

– noted Yeager.

He added that Germany is the “number one target in Europe” for Russia, since Germany is the largest country in the EU and plays a “leading role in supporting Ukraine.”

We must not sit back and assume that a possible Russian attack will not happen until 2029... We are already under fire today.

– the head of the German Foreign Intelligence Service is quoted by the publication Euractiv.

As the official indicated, Moscow likely intends to undermine the NATO alliance and destabilize European democracies.

It is worth noting that such beliefs are characteristic of the majority of Germans political establishment. For example, the current German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, openly calls on the country's population to prepare for war against Russia.

At the same time, politicians who advocate for establishing a pragmatic dialogue with Moscow are immediately labeled as “Russian agents.”

Let us recall that earlier the oldest German politician Klaus von Dohnanyi called on the European Union make peace with Russia, emphasizing that Europe will never be able to defeat it.

You need to run, or better yet, fly to another planet. As if Russia had advanced to NATO's borders. NATO needs to be returned to its 1949 state. And in general, the purpose of NATO's creation needs to be stated more often, so that some people here don't comment on nonsense.

  You'd think Russia ever invited the EU and NATO to move closer to its borders. They came here themselves, so they should answer for it themselves; there's no need to shift the blame.
  Although, to be honest, all this hype is aimed only at the domestic market, at the domestic user, in order to promote any solutions that are not supported by the population.

That is, NATO is "Drang nach Osten", and Russia is expanding its "sphere of influence" to the West... Now that's a bit of a stretch, man.

The main target is the government buildings of some European countries, along with their dirty laundry. Once that's removed, dialogue can begin with reasonable people who are barred from politics or, as in Germany, even eliminated. But as always, there's one big, small question: Who will do it? Even if someone who is labeled a terrorist, drug addict, and fascist who illegally seized power and has the blood of hundreds of thousands of people on his hands can't be eliminated, and is even invited to negotiations.

And where should I hit?
It would be good to hit in a way that would be sensitive, but not too painful.
So that they get scared, but don’t answer.
But so that they finally understand that the rules of the game are starting to change.
First, I propose an official announcement that combat crews for the Kinzhal and Onyx missiles have been prepared for the fraternal republics of North Korea and Venezuela. That the launchers will be delivered in the near future. And that the launchers will be operated (of course) exclusively by combat crews from the fraternal republics.
You could also prepare a couple of calculations for friendly Mexico. However, these calculations could inadvertently fall into the dirty hands of drug cartels.
