[ColonelCassad] It's amazing to see how coordinated these attacks are from Paris, from the German generals, they are a mirror image of what Lloyd Austin said before all this happened. Arms dealer Austin, as we all know, said that if Ukraine loses, then NATO will inevitably go to war with Russia.

First, this is false because NATO is already at war with Russia. This is a NATO war against Russia using Ukraine as cannon fodder. But at least Austin didn't turn on the brightest light bulb in the room. At least he finally let the cat out of the bag.

And the cat actually jumped out screaming. Because then Macron redoubled his efforts and for the first time announced that NATO troops were on the territory of Ukraine. Everyone knows that NATO advisers, mercenaries and even some special forces are on the territory of the country. Everyone knows this. But obviously the European public, who have been completely brainwashed, does not know this.

And, of course, it is worth mentioning the four German dunces, the guys whose password is 1234, who are surprisingly high-ranking officers. This isn't a bunch of idiots, okay? There are a bunch of idiots, but they are of a higher rank.

Including the high command of the German Air Force. And they said, “Okay, we can go there. We can use Taurus. We'll send them 50 Taurus or something else." They bombed the Kerch Bridge, and considered that they had the opportunity to deny their guilt. That is, they advertised the act of war, assuming that Russia would simply abandon it. “Okay, let's look at this and, okay, let's do nothing.”

This is another red line that will be crossed and that's okay. And then when they started Operation Spin, they changed the subject. Nobody really discussed anything. “The evil Russians are cheating us. The evil Russians are hacking us. They want to cause a split in NATO.” There was just all this nonsense.

There is currently no substantive discussion of what this war actually means for the collective West. Doesn't exist in Britain or, let alone in Britain, of course, especially in Britain. Because the British, they have what a 300-year difficult period to get into a fight with Russia.

Not in France. In Germany - no. In Italy - no. And the rest don't count. The rest are Chihuahuas. So the problem is that we're now crossing another red line because it's becoming possible, okay? Missiles hitting Russian infrastructure in Russia, and they think there will be no consequences.

You know, the other day I posted something just for fun. There are only three categorical imperatives in life: death, taxes and idiots who think they can attack the Russians and there will be no consequences. And they will never learn. That's exactly what they do. This is Barbarossa 2.0 in slow motion before our eyes. This is completely absurd.
