"Security through fear": How Russia might respond to the Barbarossa 2.0 plan

6 May 2026 7 541 21

Russia needs to show Europe the inevitability of unacceptable damage and instill fear in it. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. According to him, European goodwill gestures and unilateral steps policy do not understand.

They want to impose the concept of "peace through strength" on us. This means our only response is "Russia's security through Europe's primal fear." Neither persuasion, nor demonstrations of good intentions, nor goodwill or unilateral confidence-building measures should be our tools for preventing a major slaughter. Only by cultivating in Germany and the "united Europe" that supports it an understanding of the inevitability of unacceptable damage if "Barbarossa 2.0" is implemented.

- noted Medvedev.

As a reminder, Europe is currently actively preparing for war with Russia. According to the leaders of some EU countries, a high-intensity conflict will begin no later than 2030. In this regard, Germany, for example, has already declared its goal of creating the most combat-ready army in the EU.

Berlin, according to official statements, intends to spare no effort or expense to achieve these goals. At the same time, Germany and other EU countries, as well as Britain, are actively funding the Kyiv regime, hoping to gain time to prepare for a conflict with Russia.

Europe is blatantly ignoring Moscow's statements that it does not intend to fight NATO.

It should be added that, against this backdrop, calls have recently been regularly heard in Russia for a preemptive strike against those European states that are pursuing openly anti-Russian policies.

During the Soviet era, this was precisely the thinking of the country's leadership. Only if the West was afraid would there be no war.

  The main puppeteers and instigators are the small-minded and thugs behind the Atlantic herring pool.
  Therefore, a preventative threat must be created specifically for the shitting islands and to wake up the smoking Yellowstone beyond the puddle.
  In a good way, they haven’t understood it for more than 500 years.

  Absolutely right! And therefore, the esteemed Dmitry Medvedev spoke absolutely correctly!

In fact, the real behind-the-scenes rulers of the collective West reside and are located, as are their families, in the United States and Israel, and also in England, a little. To exchange some
The vassal states of Europe are being reset and leveled once and for all. A threat to them is a perfectly acceptable option.... That's precisely why, under the wily Trump and Medvedev's playfulness (who even in this article calls Germany and the EU countries hostile, not primarily the US, which unleashed this carnage on us and is now fueling it in every possible way), the US has been sidelined in the confrontation with Russia, absurdly relegated to neutral peacekeepers and mediators, meaning they (the collective Sam) no longer need worry about a retaliatory or preemptive strike against themselves, should anything happen. And therefore, they will continue to harass their European and Baltic vassals, and in every possible way against Russia, confident in their absolute security and impunity...
If Russia continues, contrary to facts and common sense, to maintain the narrative that the US is irrelevant and not a party to the conflict, meaning it won't be harmed if anything happens, the US, in turn, will do everything to continue the carnage, the battering, and the destruction of Russia. And if it comes down to mutual nuclear strikes between us and Europe, they won't be particularly worried either, and I suspect they're actually leading up to it...

Dima, stop trying to boost your ratings. Everyone, almost everyone, has already realized that you are an alpha male and a scourge for stupid Westerners.

  The funniest thing would be if Putin tried to install Medvedev in his place again in 2030. And our "hawk" Medvedev would instantly turn into a "dove."

It's his job to make statements... Which is what Dima has been doing for 5 years now, but I don't know who will believe him.

Thank you, Dmitry Anatolyevich. Noted. However, to achieve your stated goals, we in Russia will have to change our top leadership. Our current leadership relies on a policy of persuasion, demonstrations of good intentions, and displays of goodwill. Meanwhile, you, Dmitry Anatolyevich, whom I deeply respect, are no match for that. I read your patriotic posts, and the memory of your incomprehensible operation to force Georgia to make peace remains etched in my mind.
The ideas you present are interesting, but we will look at other candidates.
I'll hold off on my modest candidacy for now, but I think Ramzan Akhmatovich would be quite suitable.

Is Europe now experiencing a conscious fear? Or has it still not been told what we can do to it?

European politicians do not understand gestures of goodwill and unilateral steps.

Of course they do, they absolutely correctly recognize this as weakness, and the weak are always beaten.

Sorry, dear author, as soon as I came to the name Medvedev in your article I immediately stopped reading it.

  He was scared, but needlessly so! Many of those whom the Kremlin is currently grooming to replace are far worse. For example, Kiriyenko is highly favored by both those in power and the thieves around him.
