Gen. Bradshaw - Facepalm

[mousquet]

NATO forces must prepare for large-scale attack from Russia to the eastern European state - a member of the alliance, said Deputy Chief of the combined forces of NATO in Europe Adrian Bradshaw, speaking in the British Royal United Services Institute for Defence Studies, writes the Financial Times.
According to General Bradshaw, such actions Russia can take, hoping to catch NATO by surprise, and assign any territory.

I would prefer this was a 1st-of-April joke. But this guy is "terrible-looking" and definitely an official person and what attitude must to have people in Russia to such messages?

Dude.

You seem smart. Why do you regurgitate such views?

And what should the people in Russia think of it? Don't they have Putin to tell them what to think of it? And then don't they have the anti-putin media to make a comical response to that view, so that it can be laughed at?

I like the picture of the guy, btw. Totally professional. Almost as professional as NBC or FOX

Dude.

Because this is a view of man, who commands a great military power. He is not a clown or crazy politician, which a lot in any country. He trying to intimidate his country, but effect of this is unpredictable.

 

[TheDude]

Yea, I think you are failing to see my point.


Also, maybe you don't quite understand the political structure of NATO, but lots of those people are just a man, with lots of influence.


Ted Cruz, in America, has lots of influence. He's a crazy douchebag.

Likewise, Putin, in Russia, has a LOT of influence and commands armies. He's also a crazy douchebag.

Explain pls

 

[TheDude]

And the view you were regurgitating was the judgment of what you think this man said, according to some article.
My point is, you seem very quick to agree and propagate these views.
It's almost like you're just waiting for the evil NATO leaders to show their true colors, so that Russia can finally be validated in all of its actions, and we can overthrow the evil western governments!

I guess, you several confused Russia and North Korea

 

[TheDude]

No no no. North Korea doesn't have that bully pulpit.

 

[mousquet]

No no no. North Korea doesn't have that bully pulpit.

Financial Times is a bully pulpit? Whos?

 

[TheDude]

Not what I said.

Your determination is apparent.

I would argue that career , high ranking military members are very much the politician.

Anti-putin media? What on earth is this?

 

[TheDude]

I was just being a dick. Pay no attention to me.

Aren't you American? What's that free speech amendment you guys have? He can post what he wants lol. Just choose to not read it.

Personally I find it fascinating to know someone who is not on "our" side of the media.

I didn't tell the guy not to speak. And didn't I say I was bein a dick?

Russia has 3 media outlets, all owned by the government, with no free speech.
However, while military build up is the right course of action, Bradshaw doesn't need to prepare for an attack because Putin isn't foolish enough to start a war with NATO.

desolated Silo freedom of expresion exists in Russia, it's probably less than elsewhere I design

It would be foolish for anyone to pick a fight with NATO, at least while alone.
You buy a fire extinguisher before, not after the fire. Its better to be prepared but eventually not needed, than unprepared and needed desperately.
