The commander of the Czech Republic’s armed forces said the North Atlantic alliance and Russia are on the path to a direct war. The general described the potential war as the “worst-case scenario” but emphasized that it remains a distinct possibility.
General Karel Rehka, the chief of the Czech armed forces general staff, told his country’s parliament on Monday about the potentiality of a war between NATO and Russia. “No one wants it at all, but it is not impossible. It is necessary to stop saying that this is not possible, because it is simply possible. It can happen and it is necessary to prepare for it in the long run,” he said.
“We view war between Russia and the North Atlantic Alliance as the worst-case scenario, but it is not impossible,” Rehka continued. “It is possible… [Russia] is currently on a course towards a conflict with the Alliance.”
Tensions between Moscow and the West have spiraled in recent weeks. At a Group of Seven (G7) meeting earlier this month, Washington and its allies announced a plan to transfer F-16s to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said giving advanced fighter jets to Kiev is an “unacceptable escalation” and warned the West is “playing with fire.”
Additionally, Kiev has carried out a series of attacks inside of Russia. On May 3, two drones were fired at the Kremlin in an attempt to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin. Last week, a neo-Nazi militia allied with Kiev used American weapons to launch a cross-border raid against Moscow. Then, on Tuesday, Kiev attacked Moscow with several drones.
Rehka claimed that both Moscow and Brussels would like to avoid a direct conflict. “But that doesn’t mean that Russia wants it or that it plans it,” Rehka said. “Certainly not now, just like we don’t want it. Everyone knows it would be a tragedy.”
While high-ranking officials in NATO nations say they hope to avoid a direct conflict with Russia, those nations continue to cross redlines set by Moscow. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan recently asserted that Kiev could use arms it receives from Washington to attack the Crimean Peninsula. Secretary of State Antony Blinken previously acknowledged that targeting Crimea was a “red line” for the Kremlin.

Sounds like Brussels and the US is losing support for their war plans.
The warrior class must sound the alarm because the delusional politicians are not.
Sounds like they’re losing their nerve.
Peace will slowly come as more peel off.
The general is dishonest, Russia is not on course of conflict, Ukraine/USA are, and only with USA encouragement. The Biden Nuland team want war. They have worked for war with Russia for decades.
They will use the European continent to fight their war as was intended from the beginning. They are sure the USA is safe.
So is Putin an agent working for the Biden/Nuland team? Or did they just fool him into giving them the war they wanted?
The problem is that Putin doesn’t like to be taken for a fool. And treating him as one has consequences on the rest of humanity.
Biden and friends are the fools in this play.The US should stop playing cops of the world and address the home situation which is burning brighter more each day
They are not playing “cops of the world”, they are playing castle keep with the lives of the rest of the world.
He did. Ray M outlined specifically that Russia had no choice after Putin failed in his negotiations for security guarantees. Putin thought he could prompt us to negotiate. Putin’s biggest mistake was that he underestimated our stupidity and how good we are in being goaded into WWIII with a nuclear end. We see a cheap “weather balloon” in the sky and call it a “spy balloon.” After months with remnants of the balloon, you think we can tell if it were truly a “spy balloon?” Some friends and neighbors are still talking about the “Chinese spy balloon.” They believed every Iraq and Syria WMD lie. George Carlin could have straightened him out: https://youtu.be/2Rlqjxst6xU
It is not just American problem. In other places it works the same. Of course the communist party elites in Soviet republics were not slave owners and Soviet people were not slaves but when they talked about the independence and freedom in Kiev and Tbilisi, they meant the same thing – a better life and greater opportunities for those not so numerous individuals who were at the time sitting in the best offices of Kiev and Tbilisi. In other republics too, even in Russia. They celebrated even an independence day in Russia. Later they abandon it because it was too ridiculous even for the elite. But in other republics it became a great national celebration day though life for the ordinary people became worse and most of them gained nothing.
With every war, we gain less until we meet a war that gains us the least when it actually kills us.
It is a world problem. Air currents will take fallout everywhere. Our government does not talk about the spread of fallout from our testing, fallout that drifted to St. George, Utah and Tooele, Utah. Also, the Bikini Atoll is unlivable.
Are you a plant? … or just invincibly obtuse?
This wasn’t the war they wanted but it’s the war they got… What oh what will they do for an encore?
He took the bait, yes
It’s looking like Russia may be in on the con. They’ve been in lockstep with the west for years now. Their timing in the war with Ukraine was highly suspect – it was right when Covid ended and Saturday night live was green lighted to joke about it finally. Then Russia is all like “ok my turn” and goes into Ukraine.
Worse than this though is russias non response to covid – like where is the uproar calling us for deploying a bioweapon? They never mentioned it or even speculated that it could be the US that did it.
It appears the lock downs are a test run for nuclear war with Russia as a population reduction strategy. Covid did a great job killing off everyone’s useless feeders – the disabled and elderly, but still more people need to stop existing – if they could get it down to 7billion they might leave us alone for awhile.
Neither. The Biden Nuland Clinton team just pushed one too many provocations at Russia and Russia finally responded. In my opinion it was the correct response. Waiting any longer would have just made things worse.
Yeah, who would want to wait for things to get worse over time when one could actively make them worse much faster?
You don’t really think that the United States would have allowed the situation in Ukraine to get any better, do you, Thomas?
Did I even imply that?
The Russians considered the situation bad — the slight possibility that, someday, there might be consideration of the idea of the notion of maybe admitting Ukraine to NATO.
Not that it would have ever happened (a 30-second phone call from Putin to any of several Russia-friendly NATO regimes would have produced the required veto), but it might, at some point, have been thought about.
The solution: Make Ukraine a forever de facto NATO state, AND add two new de jure NATO states and 800 miles of NATO border with Russia, AND out the Russian armed forces as about as much of a military threat to Europe as, say, the National Police of the Principality of Liechtenstein, AND spend 15 months trying unsuccessfully to accomplish the two-week job of securing a couple of oblasts where Russia is supposedly overwhelmingly popular.
Russia has destroyed the military that Ukraine started out with, and now it’s destroying everything that NATO has supplied Ukraine with since then. That’s what Russia said it would do, and that’s what they’re doing. And Russia will continue to destroy everything NATO sends to Ukraine. And remember, the United States says that it wants to fight a war with China too. You can’t make this shit up. The question is not whether Ukraine will ever enter NATO. The question is how much longer can NATO go on existing. It doesn’t look good for NATO. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Obviously, what’s worse for one country is not necessarilly worst for others. For Russia, I don’t believe waiting longer would have gained them anything as the U.S. and Western powers had no intention of leaving them alone.
Going back to the end of WWII, actually.
Of course it is possible. We talked already here about possible scenarios. Anglo-Saxons also don’t want a full scale nuclear war between themselves and Russia but they desperately need a war in Ukraine because it is the only way to keep Russians out and Germans down. They worked so hard and invested such a lot of money in this project that it is impossible for them just leave it and go home. Unfortunately for them, Europeans are not so enthusiastic to send their soldiers to Ukraine. Hungary refused any kind of support for NATO in this war. As Orban explained, NATO can’t win this war and because Hungarians are dying every day, we need the peace as soon as possible. He was talking about ethnic Hungarians who live in Ukraine and who are forcibly recruited in Ukraine/NATO army. There are is a certain understanding between Hungary, Austria, Serbia and Greece on this issue, though others are not talking so openly as Orban. It is remarkable that in the conflict in Kosovo, Romanians are also siding with Serbs. So, we may say, there are no consensus in NATO on several issues. And yet, Kiev needs an urgent help and not only weapons and money. That is the reason why Anglo-Saxons escalating this conflict. They are desperate and they can do nothing else. I am talking, of course, about Anglo-Saxon oligarchy, not about the ordinary people who gain absolutely nothing from this policy.
Not needed unless they want a full scale nuclear war – which you have just admitted they don’t.
There hardly ever is, that is because contrary to what people often claim here the other NATO countries are not US puppets – happy that you at least acknowledge this.
Any documentation for this need and what is it that you propose that they need not covered by weapons and money?
Kind of amazing then that the Anglo-Saxon oligarchy enjoys so much support in Finland, Sweden, Poland,…
Even in Germany which you propose is a victim of the Anglo-Saxon oligarchy there is widespread support for Ukraine and fairly limited protests against the sanctions.
Anglo-Saxon oligarchy control EU bureaucracy and EU mass media. Everything decided in Washington and EU bureaucracy is forcing those decisions on EU member states. The national elites of EU countries have a very limited independence. Most of them are acting in the interests of Anglo-Saxon oligarchy rather than in the interests of their own people. 30 years ago they accepted the idea of unipolar world with one decision making center in Washington and follow this line. It is profitable for them, they have also their share. Very few politicians in EU dare to contradict main stream policy. Only now, when it became obvious that this crusade against Russia is failing and US is not so strong as they thought, some politicians in EU became a bit bolder.
Oh so that is why the US could not get a free trade deal with EU and why the British got so bad a Brexit deal – so the Anglo-Saxon oligarchy just do not care about getting richer!?
Again failing the smell test – if this was true then UK would have much better trade deals with EU and US would have one.
We had more politicians contradicting the main stream policy before the SMO than after – just saying – and I can get you links to back this up in case you doubt it. E.g. in Denmark there were political parties against NATO membership before the SMO, the last ones gave up on that position after April 2022.
The lie of the corporate media propaganda stinks to the heaven but you are failing the smell test because you are used to it.
You have failed to argue your assertion – there is no Anglo-Saxon control of EU if they cannot get even the most fundamental advantages of a free trade deal in the case of the US or a decent Brexit deal in the case of UK – the smell is in other words coming from your rotten conspiracy theory.
If there are no Anglo-Saxon control of EU, why EU bureaucrats never organized an open and serious investigation of the terrorist act against Nord Stream in Baltic Sea which also was a great ecological disaster? Why they are silent about that or mumbling something irrelevant?
How it was possible that just one phone call from Washington was sufficient for the leaders of France, Spain and Italy to deny the access to the airspace of their countries for Bolivian president’s flight, so he was forced to land in Austria and his plane was searched? Do you remember this story? It happened in July 2013 when Americans were hunting Snowden.
Because they trust the findings of the Danish and Swedish authorities – you know their EU partners, if they called for an EU investigation they would be telling their partners that they did not trust them.
Is this a matter on the scale of a war or a trade deal? Just asking because it seems like the kind of thing many countries would do just to appear friendly – so no actual control just the notion of knowing with whom it is better to have very good relations. Or to put it in different words if this is what you call proof of control then all nearly countries are controlled from one or many other countries.
Denmark’s police illegally removed lawful protesters when a Chinese official visited – while I strongly object I call that influence, not control – the difference is that they can get influence especially when it is not a matter of national interests and they get none or only extremely limited influence otherwise.
EU has never shied away in following American demands regarding supporting and joining any war US was interested in . EU has hurt itself enough by agreeing to sanctioning Rissia, Iran, and has hurt itself by agreeing to the Syrian war . Trade deal isnt NAFTA type . America woukd have loved that extra little benefit but it could forego and it did .
This war is seeing slow incremental but fundamental changes in the thinking of US-NATO. Ukraineis being drawn into thinking with reciprocal changes in NATO that Russian heartland could become a softer target than ever coukd imagined.
Also there is incubating new type of terrorist outfit .Out of nowhere comes the new shadowy group ready to join forces with Ukraine .
Nothing looks good now for Russia and EU.
This is dangerous .
EU has not participated in any single war the US has executed, several EU countries have participated in several of these wars
A free trade deal is a fairly substantial deal, which is why Trump pushed the issue no less than 4 times when he met with Angela Merkel. EU is damaged by the sanctions, but would be much more damaged by the fallout from not applying sanctions – that is why they agreed to implement them – and it was the EU that set the price cap and decided upon when and what kind of oil/gas that would be hit my sanctions.
What???
Not sure what you are referring to here is it something to do with the internal Russian resistance mentioned here? it starts at about 1:30
This is dangerous .
“EU has not participated in any single war the US has executed, several EU countries ”
Yes Brussels never held a parliamentary meeting and told -lets go to Afghanistan, Libya, and deploy and Iraq.
“EU is damaged by the sanctions, but would be much more damaged by the fallout from not applying sanctions “- Sounds like US fighting terrorism and domino fall out until 1990 . US frightens its people of having a bad day in future from terrorism then sends its kids and money to the front despite being told the terrorisms was often a product of US intervention . Russia even today ready to establish the economic relation with Germany and other provided his demands on Ukraine were met .Without sanction and overt NATO involvement ,Germany would have been thriving today instead its drowning in poverty and refugee influx .
Trade deal doesn’t become a great financially beneficial deal just because Trump badly wanted wanted.
Russia is a target -that idea is being floated around without massive honest pushback. UK is saying,US is saying, Poland is saying and a few other have echoed same possibility .
Russia even has not forgot what NED said and what is the position of the RAND corporation .
No EU did not NATO headquarters in Brussels may have done but EU did not Austria and Ireland are in EU but not in NATO, and Germany which is in NATO did not participate in the Libyan adventure – so no EU did not as an organization take part in any of those wars.
Simply not true, as it happens the defense budgets just in Europe have been dramatically increased if not for the sanctions that would to an even higher degree have happened not only in Europe but across the world – and we would have entered a race to get nuclear weapons in most countries less certain about their neighbors. That alone would have curbed trade and set the world for on a long low growth if not flatline economic development.
No but free trade deals are very beneficial to trade and hence the economies – if in doubt look to the British – just substituting a mere free trade deal for a membership of the internal market has seriously harmed their economy – going to no trade deal would have been much more damaging – all trade experts agree on this.
Not sure what you are on about here!?
Germany and France stood up against Iraq war .Then it folded .Soon both the countries got invaded by the neocon ideas and both embraced US policies . Thats where they stand today but they stand confused poorer and defeated .
Germany sometimes supports ,sometime UK sometime France and sometimes all together . They all enable US’s behaviors. It is same divison of labors seen among the terorrists coming from Iraq or Indonesia or Somalia – –doesn’t matter .
NED and RAND corporations ‘s position on Russia cant be found on BBC or CNN or Fox or NYTimes .
Free trade deals empower and enrich the countries taht are already advanced and have moved from labor or commodity dependent economy. Cheap labor and cheap commodity are easy to engineer and easy to maintain and easy to extract
But Trump was eyeing something different .That is his nature . Defense would love free trade deals also ,so the opioid manufacturers .
Germany did not participate in the Libyan campaign, France was as far as I know never against it – so again no EU did not back or take part in the campaign some EU countries did.
Austria and Ireland are never participating, so EU is not a party to these US wars.
Sure but what point are you making with this?
No and the US is not an advanced economy or is it that you think that EU is not?
Defense is not usually harmed by not having a free trade deal, so they are some of the few people to benefit the least, as in EU countries buy US kit as states and are hence not subject to tariffs in the same way that you or I am. Opioid manufactures are according to you supposed to benefit in what way exactly?
I am not here to find for you what RAND and NED have said .
Doesn’t matter whether it’s EU or the NATO or big countries that matter within NATO.
Germany and France were forced to join this sanction against Russia and US even tried to get them behind anti -China bandwagon
US forced them to dishonor JCOPA .
EU is advanced but has a lot of imbalances within .
Fine by me, I only thought you wanted to use what you think they have said to establish some point, but if there was no such point, I’m more than happy to ‘let it go’.
You have lost me again, what is the point you are trying to make with this?
No they were not forced to do so not by the US, Scholz was forced by his own government and public sentiment, the French are playing their own game, but they were free to decide on the setting of the price cap on Russian oil EU decided on this without US interference. There were very strong forces in EU for sanctions and very weak forces against – EU had to apply sanctions or fall apart, it really was that simple.
Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Portugal were all fairly strong promoters of hard sanctions.
Yes in part true, as in the US forced individual companies to comply with their sanctions, EU did not as such did not dishonor the JCOPA i.e. they did not back the US sanctions and did not apply any of their own.
Sure but it is not a pushover for the US.
” Ukraine is being drawn into thinking with reciprocal changes in NATO that Russian heartland could become a softer target than ever coukd imagined.”
Any real military actions in the Russian heartland by NATO or Ukraine will get a deadly hypersonic reply, perhaps of a nuclear nature. Russia can take out any Capitol in Europe any time it wants.
So many chickens in NATO and so few monkeys…
This part of my comment was clearly marked as a quote from the comment I replied to – so I guess your answer should be directed towards that person not me.
Why they would use hypersonic missiles is a bit of a mystery to me, but I have no doubt that they could nuke us if they so wanted, which is why I have always been maintaining the notion that NATO was not ever going to start an invasion of the Russian heartland – NATO and Russia could start nuclear war by accident, but not likely on purpose except if the other party was to be foolish enough to invade – so neither party is likely to do this.
Yes, yes, yes. The old “Anglo-Saxon oligarchy”. It doesn’t exist. Countries make many decisions based on their own self-interest and sometimes they make consensus decisions. That is diplomacy.
Russia, on the other hand, is almost isolated (even the Chinese are hesitant to offer full support) and have had their winter offensive grind to a halt. They are currrently in a defensive posture waiting for the Ukrainian counteroffensive. We’ll see what they do if a “red line” is crossed.
Russia never launched a winter offensive because it was a mild Winter and the ground never sufficiently froze for heavy vehicles.

Sure. Call it whatever you want.
I did – it wasn’t a Winter Offensive, just like Ukraine hasn’t launched their vaunted, publicized, around the corner Spring Offensive.

Indeed, and maybe they’ll demote the general to captain for letting slip what’s happening
Europe is very confused about how to achieve unity against Russia. The further west one goes, the less is the anti-Russian hyteria and fear. But in Poland, for some reason, and in Ukraine itself, hatred of Russia is not even disguised and Ukrainians literally kill each other over the differing feelings felt about Russia. Of course this is perfect situation for the US to exploit: split the nation in two and take one side against the other. And furthermore distort the entire enterprise as a fight for democracy. Given all this, what force is going to want to venture into the quagmire? Russia, as it turns out, is holding all the strong cards, from military production to the use of modern warfaire weapons. The Great USA is watching from thousands of miles away. It’s one and only weapon turns out to be the nuclear one. It is hard to see how Russia has any interest at this point in pausing the war. What Russia will insist on is its original demands for indivisible security, meaning Ukraine be declared neutral. It will be enough for Russia if Ukraine does this unilaterally. What NATO does is up to NATO. So far nothing that NATO has done has dented the Russian effort. And, again, that leave nukes, which is scary, especially given the cognitive acutity of the President.
You act like the president really has a say in it. The military wouldn’t put the president in that situation if they didn’t want it.
I can agree with that. It is our hope too.
NATO gave away its weapons and ammo, and failed to mobilize its forces.
Meanwhile, it has forced true mobilization upon the Russians. This has been both on the home front in war production, and a mass army mobilization.
IF the Russians chose not to stop at the Polish border after crushing Ukraine, there is not much to stop them from going onward. There is no reason to think Putin wants to do that, ever wanted to do that. But in the Realist School, one must look at what is possible given the power on the ground, not what one side imagines the other side should want.
The West’s concept of the balance of power imagines a NATO force that it no longer has. Worse, it just now gave away a large part of the readiness that had remained.
The German Army has one armored division, and its vehicles don’t run. It gave away its tiny reserve stock of tanks.
The British Army has less than one full division, and it gave away all of its modern artillery. All of it.
France is no better off. There is nobody else worth talking about.
So what could the US do for them? The US is overstretched and has real problems too.
NATO is not at war and have only been giving away fairly aged weapons systems – i.e. they have substantial amounts of other kit still on storage – but sure they have had to ramp up shell and rocket production, so by the end of 2023 they will be much more ready for a conventional war should such a war be relevant.
No the Russians have not mobilized anywhere close to fully – that is the basis for many here with some justification thinking that Russia could still win.
Not even remotely true – they have now been struggling to take a small city like Bakhmut for what 8 months – taking Warsaw would be impossible – if the war is to stay conventional they do not have a hope.
F16, Leopard 1 (museum pieces) some Leopard 2, a few Challengers and a few Abrams, quite a few AA rocket systems – that does not constitute a very substantial weakening of NATO, especially not as the war has caused NATO countries to ramp up production.
It could have been argued that the Russians had a much better chance had they attacked the West in 2022, but not now.
Yes the German army was very far from ready to fight in 2022, by the end of 2023 it will be better prepared.
NATO wars are not supposed to be fought as artillery wars, that was back in Korea, and it is not a thing NATO aims to have to do.
No France has quite a few Leclerc tanks and an assortment of other armored vehicles – they are not nearly as poorly set as the British or the Germans.
The usual thing NATO does is to get air dominance (over own lines) and then proceed to take the enemy forces out at beyond visual range. But note that as I said the situation would have been worse had the Russians attacked in 2022, that is why NATO never stated that they would refrain from striking first – i.e. NATO will no more than Russia allow itself to be overrun.
Disagree and this is how you eat up space.

Was that Russia? As in the Russia we have seen in this war?
A powerful large and motivated army can take a large city the ‘Russians’ (actually the Soviets) had millions of men to take Berlin against an already beaten German army of far fewer soldiers. And Paris was an open city, but do not let fact disturb your protest.
And for the record, if Putin can recruit and train 2 million men not to mention getting them kitted out and supplied then he will be able to take Warsaw – provided that the west does nothing while Putin does this.
NATO/USA is on course to WWIII. History may repeat the story of WWI, only instead of mustard gas and the like thrown around, nukes will be thrown around.
Noone wants it? Bollocks. NATO is already at war with Russia using Ukrainians as the cattle. The US and its Euro foreign legiln have got the war theyve wanted and provoked for the last 30 yrs. Its the Brzezinski and Wolfowitz Doctrines in full flight.
I work in a credit union. Yesterday, a member I work with often, a contractor and father, ex-military, slipped me a note that said “WW3 is happening”. He made eye contact, and, not knowing what to say, I just nodded. He left.
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?
I thought I was the nutball, sure it’s coming but doubting my own sanity. That fucking note shook me to the core. He’s just some guy, and he knows too? Fuck, that is evidence I’m not crazy.
One wonders what would happen if the Russian and Ukrainian soldiers came to their senses and realized they’re being sacrificed for empire-building and simply stopped fighting. Think Russia, 1917. I wonder how many heads in Moscow, Washington, and Brussels would explode if their soldiers decided that this whole situation is a farce from first to last and refused to participate. Of course it’s not going to happen, but for one who is opposed to war- period- it’s a nice thought (with more than a tinge of rose coloring added).
Well while the Russians keep publishing stuff like what I have linked here it is not likely that the Ukrainians will realize ‘they’re being sacrificed for empire-building‘ is it?
US/UK/NATO is in the early stages of expanding its war of aggression to Moldova. NATO is about to attack Transnistria. This war is about to go global.
Why do I feel like there may be another world war in our near future?…
