It is absolutely mind-boggling what such high-level Western puppets are made to believe. Looking at each other through the glass wall at the other’s perceived reality, it is obvious that one side is in a medically certified state of lunacy. Are we the lunatics, seeing the results of the battleground in Ukraine, or what? The Russian economy is in ruin?! It is now the largest economy in Europe, and just about to overtake Japan as the 4th largest economy in the world.

Can one even have a serious argument over what this man is saying from the perspective of Western insanity?

From the interview in Newsweek:

Words from Permanent Secretary at the Estonian Ministry of Defence Kusti Salm, in an interview with Newsweek, regarding the conflict in Ukraine:

Russia needs to walk away with the understanding that they lost, that they will lose the next war…Economically, they are ruined; we outlasted them; we kept our industry on a better footing; we have the technological advantage; we have better training, better morale; that they don’t stand a chance…

They need to walk away with the understanding that international law and the rule-based world functions, and that you cannot bend it as you wish…

This is the only way to draw a line there, so that this wouldn’t happen again. If one of those elements is not fulfilled, then in a few years, we will face another crisis, and not only from Russia, because everyone is learning…

We think that it’s three years before they will have the opportunity [to restore full military capabilities to pre-SMO levels]. Others go for five years; we have also heard seven or eight years. But the consensus is that they will regenerate, and they will come back. There is no one in intelligence, no one in defence circles who would dispute that…

For Europe, for NATO, it’s very simple – if Ukraine fails, NATO will be next…

Deterring needs a lot more effort, a lot more investment, a lot more shifts in public opinion. It’s actually a very high return on investment to keep on supporting Ukraine…120 billion [Euros] a year would be something that would do the trick – 0.25% of GDP.

It’s not a lot, it’s not a strategic topic, it’s not something that we cannot afford…With that money, you also ramp up your own industry [and] most of the money will remain in your own economies. It would be a stimulus package at a time of an incoming recession…Europe hasn’t found a way to package this…

Take what you will from Salm’s interview…
