European intelligence suggests that Russia may launch an attack on Europe during the winter of 2024-2025 if the United States finds itself “without a leader” following the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the German tabloid Bild reported on Dec. 23, citing an anonymous European intelligence source.

    On one hand, they can’t be that stupid.

    On the other hand… as we’ve seen… they very much can be that stupid…

      Nah, this is pro Ukraine, pro war industry (and pro Biden?) propaganda. Why would they fight NATO and more importantly with what means when they can barely manage to hold line in Ukraine.

        If they can be sure they can snatch ‘disputed territories’ like Transnistria, well, they will.

        This war is highly political. Showing a small territory gain to the russian public is more important to Putin than any long-term consequences with NATO.

          Did you read the article? It talks like they will be marching to Paris or something. But even if it is Transnistria, how would they do that with Moldova’s one foot in NATO and Transnistria positioned between it and Ukraine?

            Quickly and haphazardly, while it’s not fully in NATO. Using ‘local militia’ with russian passports, most probably.
