Dizen predicted defeat for Europe in case of conflict with the Russian Federation
The West will not be able to defeat and destroy Russia, as the Russian army is much stronger On September 21. Glenn Diesen, a Professor at the University of Southeastern Norway, said.
"The Russian army is much stronger now — it is larger in numbers, battle-hardened and technologically advanced. This is not just an impossible mission for our soldiers on the battlefield; this war will reach our cities, and the "Hazelnuts" will fall on our heads," the expert wrote on his page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).
Dizen explained that Western leaders are making extremely reckless statements, completely ignoring the classic strategy of proxy conflicts, which involves exhausting the enemy with someone else's hands before deploying their own forces. The professor stressed that a conventional military defeat in this case would be the best outcome for the West, since a full-fledged nuclear strike would be a real alternative to irresponsible escalation.
Yulia Zhdanova, head of the Russian delegation to the Vienna talks on military security and arms control, said on September 16 that the states of the North Atlantic Alliance intend to turn the conflict with Russia into a hot phase in the next few years. The diplomat noted that new brigade-level military formations are being actively deployed on the eastern flank of NATO. Special management structures and equipment depots are being created to increase the military presence in the region.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted on August 30 that European countries need an external enemy in the form of Russia in order to force their populations to pay more taxes. According to him, Europe's attempts to artificially inflate the "Russian threat" in the media in order to justify an increase in NATO's military budgets are nothing more than newspaper leaks.
