Massive ESCALATION: Europe Uses Ukraine to Expand War | Prof. Glenn Diesen

NATO's proxy war in Ukraine is morphing into a direct EU-Russia war. And the war hawks in Brussels are further escalating by attacking civilians in the Donbas and Russia proper.

As things stand now, an all-out EU-Russia war is not only a possible, but by now a likely scenario.
