| Russian state TV pundit dubs Ukraine war 'rehearsal' for NATO clash |
| 2022-05-21 |
| [NYPOST] Russia’s war in Ukraine may be a "rehearsal" for a possible large-scale conflict with NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... countries, a leading Russian political scientist has warned. Alexei Fenenko, a research fellow at the Institute of International Security Studies and associate professor at Moscow State University’s School of World Politics, appeared on the state TV talk show "60 Minutes" airing on the Russia-1 channel and raised the prospect of a broader clash with the West. "For us, the war in Ukraine ... is a rehearsal for a possibly larger conflict in the future," he said. "And that is why we’ll test and go up against NATO weapons, and will see on the battlefield how much stronger our weapons really are compared to theirs." "Maybe it will be a learning experience for a future conflict," he added. Olga Skabeyeva, the host of the show, who is considered to be a chief Kremlin propagandist, then chimed in, observing that "it’s a terrifying experiment." |

| #4 Talking out of both sides of their mouths… blaming ‘the west’ one day and then saying it’s a proxy for fighting the west the next. All while the Joe Bidens hand over our industries to Russia. |

| #2 Like the Kazakhstan intervention was a dress rehearsal for this one. Kazakstan was a guided tour compared to the war in Ukraine. |
