Ideas range from joint offensive cyber operations against Russia, and faster and more coordinated attribution of hybrid attacks by quickly pointing the finger at Moscow, to surprise NATO-led military exercises, according to two senior European government officials and three EU diplomats
“The Russians are constantly testing the limits — what is the response, how far can we go?” Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže noted in an interview. A more “proactive response is needed,” she told POLITICO. “And it’s not talking that sends a signal — it’s doing.”
Finally.
If Ukraine has demonstrated anything, it’s that Russia is not that strong.
Seriously. If all of Western Europe ganged up on Russia, it would fold instantaneously. Bullies isolate their victims. Don’t let them do that and they show their true colors.
Level Moscow. It won’t be missed.
Russia needs to be occupied for at least 100 years so that the country and population can be developed and taught how to operate properly and not like a mafia state.
One of the classic blunders: Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
Luckily Ukraine and much of Russia is in Europe.
Finally.
No, that’s not happening.
You are listening to lying propagandists here. The only actual question with Axel Springer SE always is are they lying for some of their own hateful agendas, for their fossil fuel promoting co-owners KKR (unlikely in this special case), getting paid again by the US, or just doing it out of their unwavering “solidarity with the libertarian values of the United States of America” (on of its core principle directly from their website…) because some of their MAGA supporting friends asked them nicely to create a distraction.
(reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Springer_SE)
This sounds very conspiratorial. What are those agendas you are talking about? You listed just about anyone you can think of to be involved in your conspiracy. Are you a broken clock by any chance, hoping to be right with at least one of those?
How would them lying about this benefit anyone?
Did you even read the article? Real people are quoted there talking about retaliation:
Last week, Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto slammed the continent’s “inertia” in the face of growing hybrid attacks and unveiled a 125-page plan to retaliate. In it he suggested establishing a European Center for Countering Hybrid Warfare, a 1,500-strong cyber force, as well as military personnel specialized in artificial intelligence.
However much truth might be in your comment. This isn’t the case at all.
You listed just about anyone you can think of to be involved in your conspiracy.
No, I listed a few of those Axel Springer SE is well documented to have already pushed propaganda for. In fact as I live in Germany I can read their lies in big red letters every morning on that rag displayed everywhere. So I sadly know how bad it really is…
PS:
“[…] claimed that Axel Springer SE, along with its subsidiaries, exhibits a pro-American stance, often omitting criticism of US foreign policy. This observation is then backed by allegations made by two former CIA officers in an interview with The Nation, claiming that Axel Springer received $7 million from the CIA”
" As of 2001, the Axel Springer SE names “solidarity with the libertarian values of the United States of America” as one of its core principles on its website. This explicit stance has led to critiques from scholars and independent observers"
“Foreign Policy has critiqued Axel Springer SE for a history of compromising journalistic ethics to support right-wing causes.”
All quotes from the Wiki link you refused to click to imply conspiracy theories on my side instead.
So who exactly is doing it and to what ends, how exactly does it benefit anyone to lie about this? How come there are real politicians quoted in the article talking about retaliation? Are they also part of the conspiracy?
You clearly haven’t even read the article and are biased with your conspiratorial beliefs.
I get it that you hate Politico, but you should really read the article and learn to think critically for yourself.
You insist on “what is wrong in this article” .
One of the things that popaganda does is sprinkling some real stuff to attract new people and then slowly feed them more lies.
It doesn’t matter if you stumble upon a few good articles with real quotes - the whole thing must be avoided to reduce traffic in their direction. The proper response is to find a different source with the same quotes.
This is thinking critically. If you know it’s from a propagandist, don’t give them more food. Your version of “thinking critically” is just “listen to the people who sound more convincing, even you know they are liars and you can’t find if this specific article has lies or not” .
So what exactly is the propaganda here?
The website.
An object or entity by themselves, regardless if they are physical or electronic cannot be propaganda.
Clearly you don’t know what you are talking about.
“Overall, Europe and the alliance must ask themselves how long we are willing to tolerate this type of hybrid warfare … [and] whether we should consider becoming more active ourselves in this area,” German State Secretary for Defense Florian Hahn told Welt TV last week.
Hybrid attacks are nothing new. Russia has in recent years sent assassins to murder political enemies in the U.K., been accused of blowing up arms storage facilities in Central Europe, attempted to destabilize the EU by financing far-right political parties, engaged in social media warfare, and tried to upend elections in countries like Romania and Moldova.
“Today’s world offers a much more open — indeed, one might say creative — space for foreign policy,” Russian leader Vladimir Putin said during October’s Valdai conference, adding: “We are closely monitoring the growing militarization of Europe. Is it just rhetoric, or is it time for us to respond?”
