Stickers with the slogan ““Russia is not my enemy” have appeared in Romania, France, and Italy.

“Russia has launched the propaganda campaign ‘Russia is not my enemy,’ which has reached Romania. Stickers with this message are appearing in cities as part of the Kremlin’s hybrid campaign aimed at creating the illusion of a ‘peaceful partnership.’ Through such tools of influence, Russia seeks to portray itself as a peacemaker, downplay its own crimes, and sow discord within European societies,” the statement by the Center for Countering Disinformation under Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council said.

The Center added that the purpose of the campaign is to undermine citizens’ trust in the rule of law and democratic institutions in their countries, cast doubt on the Euro-Atlantic course, and discredit support for Ukraine.

Russia has significantly intensified hybrid attacks on the EU’s critical infrastructure since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Do you have a source for that?
It’s a recent revelation after the records were made public by Germany. https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/secret-documents-from-the-1990s-how-close-was-russia-to-nato-membership-a-613a9896-ac9f-46ac-b27c-00547d96b9fb
Nice, so the Ukraine war can expand into another world war because the requirement is fulfilled that Germany caused it.
Even if Russia did join NATO, would much of the Russians even like it? I’ve been meaning to expand it on my original comment, but what is always lost in the discussion is that Russians have Eurasian ideology, they think they have their own piece of the pie. As mentioned, even in the higher echelons of society, even those who oppose whoever is in power in Kremlin, they are still ultranationalists who all agree that Russia stands alone as a power and wants their own sphere of influence.
Overall, I’d say both are at fault. Nationalism is a bitch.
Since Eurasianism rejects the ethnostate, wouldn’t Russia be comparable to the EU and the US as a collection of states? Nato would become the super super state of super states.
