| | + | ==Response to NATO & European warmongering== |
| | + | Medvedev responded to the ceaseless [[warmongering]] of [[NATO]] and [[EU]]'s "pathetic degenerate" leaders against the interest of their own people: |
| | + | {{quotebox-float|There's a constant drumbeat in Europe about [[war]] with [[Russia]] within the next five years. |
| | + | |
| | + | ''That's not going to happen.'' |
| | + | |
| | + | ''Why?'' |
| | + | |
| | + | ''Because it is against our national interests.'' |
| | + | |
| | + | 1. Russia doesn’t need a war with anyone, least of all the frigid old crone, Europe. There's nothing in it for us. Europe’s economy is weak and dependent on the [[US]], and its [[culture]] is degenerating into oblivion. Europe is losing its identity, dissolving in a flood of belligerent [[migrant]]s. |
| | + | |
| | + | 2. The key priority for the Russian people is developing our own country, including rebuilding the territories that have returned to the fold. That's neither easy nor cheap. |
| | + | |
| | + | 3. Russia has always come to Europe as a liberator, never as an invader. |
| | + | |
| | + | ''Why won't Europe start a war itself?'' |
| | + | |
| | + | Here’s why: |
| | + | |
| | + | 1. European countries are vulnerable and divided amongst themselves. They can only pursue their own interests, struggling to stay afloat in today’s [[economic]] turmoil. They cannot afford a war with Russia. |
| | + | |
| | + | 2. European leaders are pathetic degenerates, unable to shoulder [[responsibility]] for any serious undertaking. They lack the [[strategic]] [[think]]ing, let alone the [[energy]] (in Russia it's called passionarity), to make successful [[military]] decisions. |
| | + | |
| | + | 3. Most Europeans are soft and apathetic; they are unwilling to fight for any common ideals or even their own land. |
| | + | |
| | + | ''Why is war still possible?'' |
| | + | |
| | + | The chance of a tragic accident always exists. And hyperactive trigger-happy lunatics also remain a factor. This kind of conflict has a genuine risk of spiraling into a war with weapons of mass destruction. |
| | + | |
| | + | So we must not let our guard down.}} |
