Ahead of the “Russia and China: Cooperation in a New Era” conference in Moscow on Thursday, Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC) Director General Ivan Timofeev told Russian state-owned news agency Tass about the increasing likelihood of a full-scale war between Russia and the West.
“A full-scale war is not is not a foregone conclusion, but unfortunately, its likelihood is growing,” Timofeev said in an interview with Tass. He said, “One option is that there will be a great rise in confrontation between us. At the root of this is the Ukraine issue, as the West continues to provide large-scale military assistance to Kyiv.”
At a separate meeting on Thursday, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg told foreign ministers about the need to allow Ukraine to use Western weapons to penetrate deep inside Russia.
Timofeev warned about the rising possibility of a direct conflict with NATO:
“A number of officials, particularly in France and the United Kingdom, have said that individual military units from NATO countries may be deployed to Ukraine. If they take part in military operations against Russian forces, they will become a legitimate target for our army.
“Let’s hope this possible escalation involves conventional arms and not nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, NATO is spending ten times as much as Russia – if not more – on defense. It’s certainly a dangerous scenario.”
The RIAC director general continued:
“The NATO leadership has made statements that no troops will be sent to Ukraine, and a number of EU politicians have said that this is counterproductive. That means they aren’t united on the issue.”
Timofeev added:
“As for Russia, we must take every possible scenario into account. We have the capacity to deter these threats.
“However, such a scenario will cause irreparable damage to everyone.”
He concluded that the West will likely continue assisting Ukraine through weapons and equipment supplies, indicating these “dividing lines between” Russia and the West “may be there for decades.”
Daniel Blake, Asia and emerging market equity strategist at Morgan Stanley wrote in a note to clients in April that the shift towards a multipolar world has been underway for the last five years. With that comes a war cycle, and, as we’ve penned before, a splurge in defense spending is bullish for defense companies.

America and its Ukrainian “allies”:
Kremlin: NATO Weapons To Be Hit In Any Country From Where Russia May Be Attacked
Former Russian president and current Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has warned that Russian forces could strike back from any point where attacks are launched, including on “NATO specialists” advising Ukraine forces.
“NATO countries that have approved strikes with their weapons on Russian territory should be aware that their equipment and specialists will be destroyed not only in Ukraine, but also at any point from where Russian territory is attacked,” he said on Telegram, according to TASS, also noting that “the participation of NATO specialists could be seen as a casus belli.”

I’ll believe it when I see it. And maybe not even if I see it.
Now ask the US republicans…
They need war to hide all the pokemon deaths which continue to increase by the day.
Where is the daiky fear porn chart showing the total vaxxed deadees each day on the news like they did with the idiotic pcr test “cases” claims?
“…hide all the pokemon deaths which continue to increase by the day.”
Really? How many died yesterday? Last week? What is the increase in absolute numbers?
Thankyou for making my point.
They also will use it to hide the terrible economy.
Correct
Because the west can’t field an army that can fight.
Until they dump DEI, CRT, gender indoctrination, allowing and promoting faggotry, affirmative action faggot and minority Generals and Admirals, no one except them will want to have anything to do with enlisting.
The low IQ Air Farce Chief of Staff is shockingly stupid. The Navy Chief lady tells us she has a Masters from University of Phoenix online, I shit you not, and Space Force Chief is a fucking tranny. Four out of ten trannies are child molestors and over half have at least one clinically insane parent.
We should hope and pray Biden’s Secret Service detail was picked for the same “qualifications.”
Because our Jewish installed politicians have emasculated our military. Russia is controlled by big money Jewish interests as much as we.
