Ursula von der Leyen on Russia’s hybrid actions: "This is part of a worrisome pattern of a growing threat. Across our Union, undersea cables have been cut, airports and logistic hubs paralyzed by cyberattacks, and elections targeted by malign influence campaigns. This is a coherent and escalating campaign to unsettle our citizens, test our resolve, divide our Union, and weaken our support for Ukraine. It is time to call it by its name; it's hybrid warfare. And we have to take it very seriously."

Yes, call it by its true name: Russia
aaaand..?
“and we will be deeply concerned” and thats it .. c’mon ursula, we in europe earn the fruits of your great friend, merkel .. who has a big, big role in the situation we are now
stunning. Give it a name and shake your fist at it. That’ll show ’em!
Stop buying russian products. Cut them off from the banking system. Close the borders. Deny them access to any EU data centers. Freeze all funds connected to the russian state or any russian citizens. Block their Internet. Kick them back to the middle ages. They can. But they are chicken.
Instead, China is learning how to drone swarm Taiwan.
well.
cats out the bag now. its only a matter of time before we get into a shooting war directly , now that its acknowledged its going to be an escalating game of retaliation.
Russia is the aggressor and needs to stop. but it no longer can, its very existence is tied to war, any war.
They’re so close to getting it….
This is what happens when you put wimps in positions of power and not warriors! You get half-assed responses like this!
Isn’t by EU law that EU must call blockade on country that wages war against EU member?
I completely agree, EU should significantly increase military spending.
„Feeling cute, might delete some texts later.“
I don’t understand why the Turks had to shoot down that Su-24, when just calling it a “malign pattern of violation of airspace” would also have deterred the unnamed trespasser.
Maybe we should clad those farms near the border in drone cages. That will show those unidentified bad guys who’s boss.
von der Leyen’s got her shit together… why are the rest of them so pissweak…
And what do “people of reason” do? They stand by and let it happen, while the bullies mow them down and run them over. Indecisive and passive, this is not leadership, this is victimship.
Your only at least a decade later to the party bish.
Then do something about it :)?
I think if I was doing her job and the Russians tried to crash my plane, I’d have stronger words about the whole situation than she does.
Impound the shadow fleet. If one sails anywhere near an EU member’s warship, board it, take it to port, confiscate the contents and anchor it somewhere safely out of the way until such time as releasing it seems prudent.
In the next ten years, there is a possibility of using biological and chemical weapons as a tool to solve various problems.
Do something instead of speaking ? Or gtfo
Hybrid warfare is warfare. Russia has been attacking America and the world since Putin came to power, seeking to resurrect the Soviet Union.
Wrong this is WAR !! Hybrid war is word so you don’t have to do something
Well no shit. I am shocked! Shocked I say!
At last!
3+ years of russian WAR 🤔
Everyone knows what animals did this and nobody responds.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck it probably is a duck! Why are we Europeans still pussyfooting around with this stuff?
“Well, what are you going to do about it, whitey…?”
I’m tired of this weak leadership. It’s always all talk but no walk…
Strong word from a weak person.
Put up or shut up. Russia had made the EU its bitch by correctly identifying that the EU is full of words and not full of action.
The EU is more worried about what cord a phone uses than an exestential threat on its borders.
So… take their frozen assets and close their embassies.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, let’s not get too hasty here and jump to conclusions! /s
And they will do fuck all about it.
Finally, the EU seems to be waking up. Will they actually respond? Let’s wait and see. I rather doubt they will do anything strong.
How about calling it just “war”
I support what she says but adding the adjective just weakens the message
