Es obvio que las cosas son así. Ahora los agresores se empiezan a quitar las caretas y mostrar sus verdaderas intenciones. Muchos han sido ingenuos en esta materia: que si la protección de rusos parlantes, que si los nazis, que si la influencia de la OTAN, etc. Polonia, Latvia, Estonia y Lituania siempre lo han tenido claro.
Esta quitada de careta también pone en relieve la dirección que tomará el conflicto: WWIII. Entiendo que este pronóstico es duro. Nadie quiere algo asi, no obstante la realidad es la realidad y poner los pies sobre la tierra siempre permite tomar previsiones.
Russian General Admits u___e Just a 'Stepping Stone' to Invade Europe
A key Russian general who Russian President Vladimir P___n promoted this week views the invasion of u___e as a mere "stepping stone" to further conflict with Europe.
P___n launched the full-scale invasion of u___e in February 2022, sparking fears from many analysts that the Kremlin may have greater ambitions beyond taking control of its former Soviet neighbor. Russian commentators and lawmakers have often heightened those fears with their anti-North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) rhetoric throughout the war—routinely encouraging direct strikes on European and even American targets.
This week, P___n promoted Lieutenant General Andrey Mordvichev to the rank of Colonel-General. The military leader had already been serving in the role of commanding the Central Military District and Russian Central Grouping of Forces in u___e.
In a recent interview with Moscow's state-run Russia-1, a clip of which circulated widely on social media Saturday, Mordvichev said he believes P___n's war will last quite a long time and expand in the future.
"I think there's still plenty of time to spend. It is pointless to talk about a specified period. If we are talking about Eastern Europe, which we will have to, of course then it will be longer," the general said.
"u___e is only a stepping stone?" the interviewer then asked.
"Yes, absolutely. It is only the beginning," Mordvichev responded, who went on to say that the war "will not stop here."
Ahead of the invasion of u___e, P___n laid out a vision to reconstitute the long-defunct Russian Empire's territories into a unified block. The Russian leader and his allies have repeatedly said they do not view u___e as independent from Russia, saying that the sovereign nation should be brought back under Moscow's control.
Some of P___n's allies have often floated the possibility of expanding the Kremlin's invasion into NATO countries, including Poland and several other Eastern European nations. Analysts have citied the Russian president's vision and the suggestions to expand the war from his various allies as worrying signs that Moscow could push its military efforts beyond u___e.
NATO leaders have defended their military and humanitarian aide to u___e, saying their aim is to prevent P___n from pushing his forces further west into Europe. Eastern European nations, such as Poland, have been some of u___e's loudest defenders as their leaders fear their borders could be next to be challenged by P___n's forces.
