A pre-emptive strike on Russia by NATO?

dwb

Well-known
I don't know what to think about this.

The most senior military officer in NATO has spoken of the utility of “pre-emptive strike” as a “defensive action” because of the pressure he predicts there will be on the alliance being able to show credible deterrence in the future.

Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, who replaced Admiral Rob Bauer as the chair of of the NATO military committee earlier this year has spoken of the effectiveness demonstrated by enhanced, active deterrence against Russia by the alliance this year and implicitly called for consideration to be given to going further.

In remarks reported to have been made to London’s globalist-orientated financial broadsheet The Financial Times, former Harrier pilot and warship commander Admiral Dragone specifically cited the infrastructure sabotage operations of Russia’s ‘dark fleet’ of oil tankers against European states in 2023 and 2024, which evaporated after NATO’s Operation Baltic Sentry was launched. As reported in 2024, commercial vessels associated with Russia and China frequently severed underwater power and data cables by dragging their anchors on the sea floor, an act that could be explained away as an innocent mistake on an individual basis and yet which happened with astonishing regularity for over a year.

I agree, Russia has been barking all this time that they are ready to dial it up to 100 if NATO steps in so it would be curious to see whether Russia would back up their threats
