Comment on Russian bombers fly near Britain, NATO scrambles fighter jets

It tends to be tit-for-tat as well. British ships challenge Russian coastlines, American subs emerge inside areas of Russian control, French planes overfly Russian military bases…

All this gets reported in Russian media as provocative, which reinforces the rationale for further conflict with Western nations.

When these countries enter a state of detente, the maneuvers don’t stop happening. State news agencies simply stop using the incidents to agitate for further conflicts

The “west” is losing their shit to start a war with Russia, and its really hard to understand what kind of benefit they will get with that. And even worse are the people looking forward to this, since they will be the cannon fodder while the people who started the conflict keep a luxurious life in faraway places

  If NATO wanted a war with Russia then there would be war with Russia. Russia has made it easy enough with hybrid war actions against Europe. Of course such a war would be something like a three day operation since Russia has proven it’s military to be even more pathetic than everyone suspected.

    It seems to me as if NATO is doing everything it can to NOT go to war with Russia.
    
    But what do I know? I don’t have brain damage.

  You know Russia invaded Ukraine and has been in war for some time now, right?
  
  I don’t know what the west is “planning”, but Russia invaded first, so fuck em(the gov and its supporters).

    Can you argue yours? Because you are just claiming idiotic ideas.

  I have to assume they think this will help destabilize China by having more power over their borders/neighbors. That north border looks so empty without nukes pointing towards China on it…
