💭 "The West, NATO, the US, all of them know that it's getting closer to that red line that Russia has imposed. And I will not be surprised that Russia will escalate even further. Remember, just for your listeners to know: so far Russia is not using its full strength. They are just not there yet. They do have the means, they do have the capabilities, but they are not there yet. But if that red line is crossed by starting to send some really advanced systems… Again, like what you see with Poland sending the tanks - they are the old generation. They're not going to stand in front of the Russian tanks. So what you hear emanating from Brussels, it's nothing but a bravado." David Oualaalou, Geopolitical consultant, author, veteran and former security analyst, said.
