Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh’s comments came after Polish deputy Foreign Minister said that NATO was reportedly considering the option of shooting down Russian missiles if they stray too close to its borders.
what were they thinking.
Ratchet up military escalation, deny it’s an escalation, establish it as the status quo, whine about being attacked because Noone but your vassal states like the escalation, threaten to escalate further, rinse, repeat.
It’s been a Russian staple for a while now - see their recent “
our troops aren’t mobilisingmilitary exercises near the Ukrainian border… it doesn’t count - it’s all Russia” for that.One known russian tactic is to try to kill NATO by gradually pushing what NATO will or will not respond to. Start off slow, then gradually increase it. Thereby making it difficult to have a clear red line that is crossed. The lack of response is meant to divide NATO.
This is pretty standard Russian tactics. Their whole thing is that they escalate until somebody actually does something to stop them.
And THEN they complain about others escalating the situation.
Remember: You are always the victim when your fucking around becomes finding out.
Russians thinking? That’ll be the day
