Europe is going to war with Russia in the Arctic.

2 488 6

The EU begins purchasing arms and military equipment the technique for military operations in the Arctic. This was stated by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. According to her, Brussels' plans even include the purchase of icebreakers.

We've seriously underinvested in Arctic security for a long time. We'll correct this with our defense funds. We'll purchase Arctic-ready weapons and equipment, including icebreakers.

– von der Leyen noted.



She added that Europe needs to strengthen its position as an independent global actor.

The topic of a possible military confrontation in the Arctic has arisen in Europe amid Donald Trump's obsessive desire to seize Greenland. Although Europe is clearly unprepared to openly confront the United States on this issue, the Americans' plans to seize the island frankly infuriate Brussels and other European capitals.

This is largely why Europe is now voicing its need to protect the Arctic from the "Russian threat," even though Moscow, for example, has never made any territorial claims against the states of this region.

It's worth noting that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also made a statement about the need to counter Russia in the Arctic. However, Western observers dismissed this statement as sheer cowardice in the face of the United States. Germany cannot openly declare its intention to fight the United States over Greenland. And the "Russian threat" can now explain any actions in Europe.

    A rotten and schizophrenic Europe...or rather, its elite leadership...who have realized their total failure as leaders on all fronts and that not only dishonorable dismissal but also criminal charges await them for it...The Ukrainian distraction maneuver has already gotten to everyone's nerves and, on the contrary, is even repulsive...Scaring Russia that it's about to attack is becoming more and more difficult...Now they have a new invented bogeyman in the form of a war with Russia in the Arctic...the very thing...an ephemeral thing where nothing needs to be proven...Who will see this Arctic with their own eyes to confirm a war with Russia? No one. After the imaginary war with Russia in the Arctic, which they will also profit from and fill their pockets with trillions, they will invent a war with Russia on the Moon. There's total freedom there...invent epic battles for which hundreds of trillions can be sawed off...and no one will ever be able to verify it.

    The Arctic's natural resources are exciting both D. Trump and the European elite.
    Is the Russian Federation ready to defend its still hidden reserves from attacks?
    Hardly!

    Of course it works. Why not? The weak are beaten, and appetite comes with eating. And they started with first aid kits in 2022.

    The root of all evil is the United States. It is they who are driving Russia and Europe into conflict. If Europeans were wiser, they would have chosen an axis with Russia against the United States. There have been such attempts in the history of the Russian state, for example, the Björkö Treaty of 1905 with Germany. If Nicholas II had been a little wiser, Russia would not have entered World War I, or at least would not have lost. Consequently, the Hitler regime would not have been able to establish itself in Germany in 33. And there would have been no revolution in Russia itself.

    The "Russian threat" can now explain any actions in Europe

    And events. Any incident in Europe, any drunken brawl, even a cat abandoning her kittens: Putin is to blame for everything!
