What I do not understand is what is the plan here? Awaken and anger countries who were ususally peaceful and non interference ones?

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

Destabilize Europe through disruption, confusion, and abstract/unclear threats.
A strong, fair, just, peaceful Europe is a threat. Apparently.
It's a gross misinterpretation and delusion of course. Russia and its people are way worse off than even just a few years ago. But that's not how Russia wants to see it; Russia is not able to change itself or acknowledge and fix its faults. It is stuck in struggling for survival and self-justification through aggression and constructing enemies.
They desperately want to end themselves, and then blame it on others. "Oh we didn't do anything, yet we got spanked. Only if we got the chance to prove we are strong. We lost only because we got outnumbered.".
They are bullies, and always have been. They are just waiting for EU to snap so they have an excuse to launch nukes.
They will never launch nukes, putin is a small person scared of death, remember those super long tables to not catch "a disease" ? He's notoriously known for being scared of infection.
Well, nobody knows, but the moment he does it won't matter anyway.
It's a 4d chess move :)
EU: "We will restrict innocent passage and freedom of navigation in the Baltic Sea."
China: "Gotcha! We will restrict innocent passage and freedom of navigation in the Taiwan Strait."
FUD. And look, it's working!
I don't Fear after they cut those cables. Less and less people are Uncertain about who is to blame and less people Doubt about who is the enemy.
Where do you see some F.U.D here?
But officials have been hesitant to accuse the Kremlin outright of interference, the Journal reports, in part for fear of further escalating tensions between Russia and Europe.
What's he gonna do, start a war?
Oh man, there’s nothing new here. And how could it. The sweet people from the Verge picking up a Wall Street Journal story that itself is a little late reporting news from Europe. Exactly the kind of speculation investigators were asking to avoid until there is evidence.
DIVEST DIVEST DIVEST.
