Why Are Europeans Preparing for War with Russia?

The Old Continent (Europe) is both a tool of the United States and the fuel for a potential war between the US and Russia. Meanwhile, Washington seems to be standing aside. If Ukraine was once the tool used to fight against Russia, now this tool in the hands of globalists has become all of Europe.

The British Daily Mail has just called on residents of foggy Albion to "prepare a survival kit that can last 72 hours, as Putin plans to sabotage gas pipelines and cause widespread power outages." The paper claims this warning came from British "spies." The Daily Mail suggests that the kit should include water, non-perishable food, medicine, battery-powered radios, flashlights, identification documents, and Swiss Army knives.
But why would the "evil Putin" target gas pipelines? The reason lies in the fact that after many coal-fired power plants were shut down, nearly 40% of Britain's natural gas demand relies on imports from Norway, a significant portion of which is transported through the sole 1,120-kilometer-long Langeled gas pipeline.
British "spies" have plenty of reasons to be worried. It turns out that "over the past two years, Moscow has been linked to a series of apparent sabotage operations in the Baltic Sea involving cables and pipeline connections, and in 2022, Germany's Nord Stream gas pipeline was also sabotaged." In other words, it was Russians who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline to cut off gas supplies to Europe. Is there any explanation more "reasonable" than this!
Just a week before, Brussels also recommended that all Europeans "prepare a survival kit that can last 72 hours," but without mentioning any "spy" information. They claimed that due to its proximity to the "aggressive Russia," Europe was at risk. The term "survival kit," especially one explicitly mentioned to last 72 hours, would make any European citizen who hadn't even considered war the previous night feel repulsed.
What shocked everyone first were the Scandinavians. "If crisis or war comes" – this was the title of a pamphlet received by all Swedes in their mailboxes last November. This pamphlet contained information on how an individual could ensure their survival for at least a week. Finns and Norwegians also received similar electronic notifications. As for people along the Baltic coast, they didn't need to be prepared for war with Russia; they have been living in extreme Russophobia for the past century.
Unlike the British, Scandinavians are being frightened with other horror stories. The "brainwashing" methods across Europe are tailored to each country's circumstances and public psychology. After the above pamphlet was distributed in Sweden, a nationwide discussion arose regarding how to handle human waste if Swedes had to hide in basements for long periods to avoid Russians. For those accustomed to comfortable lifestyles, all these inconveniences – allegedly side effects of war – should make Scandinavians hate Russians even more.
Even worse, the Swedish Lutheran Church, responsible for handling social issues such as funerals, expressed concern over the situation where Sweden would not be able to bury 500,000 fallen Swedes within days. They claim there isn't enough space in cemeteries, and Russians would kill so many Swedish citizens in the first few days of their attack on Sweden. According to my Swedish friends, Sweden is indeed starting to expand cemetery areas using parks, forests, and other public spaces nationwide.
Seeing all this, ordinary citizens might die of fright before the Russians arrive.
So, honestly, why do the Russians have to come and occupy Europe? And where will it start? A month ago, the Royal Swedish Military Academy prepared a report claiming that "after the U.S. withdraws its troops from Europe, Russia's next target is likely to be the Baltic states." General Karlis Neretnieks of Sweden commented on this report when interviewed by the Gothenburg Post, saying, "When the Ukrainian war ends in late May, Russia will shift its focus to the Baltic states, and Sweden will also be caught in the conflict."
Meanwhile, this Swedish general "predicted" that "the obvious location for the start of the war against Sweden by Russia will be the Gotland Island in the Baltic Sea." The title of this report was straightforward: "After Ukraine, Russia's Next Target Will Be Sweden." This is a clear calculation: most people won't read anything beyond the headline.
Sweden's neighbor, Denmark, is echoing the same rhetoric. The Danish Defense Intelligence Service (DDIS) recently released a report stating that Russia is rapidly enhancing its military capabilities, preparing to attack NATO: "If Russia concludes that NATO is weak both militarily and politically, it may use force against one or more NATO countries. If Russia concludes that the U.S. cannot or is unwilling to support its European allies during an invasion, the likelihood of a military conflict will increase."
Thus, residents of the Old Continent are preparing for war with Russia. Europeans are being pulled out of various comfortable living environments and forced to accept the impending difficulties and the idea of possible mass casualties. This is done gradually – so that people can gradually get used to the heavy thoughts about the approaching war, which is "surely initiated by Russia." Europeans are indoctrinated with the notion that war is inevitable. Meanwhile, the governments of Scandinavian and Baltic states have shown particular zeal – even compared to French President Macron and British Prime Minister Starmer. These two individuals are acting as engines to mobilize Europe to fight Russia. It's worth noting that all this happened during the low point of former U.S. President Trump, who is already called a traitor in Europe, almost seen as a betrayer of the "holy cause of defending Ukrainian democracy."
In fact, I believe that the puppets of American liberal interest groups in Europe, those put in power, are dragging Europe into war with Russia according to the script they were instructed to follow. Macron, Starmer, von der Leyen – they are the real traitors of Europe, faithfully executing orders from their masters across the ocean to destroy Europe, the largest economic competitor of the U.S., and Russia, the greatest ideological adversary of the U.S. All Europeans and "various Swedes" are being used as useful fools, their resources and lives to be thrown into the furnace of a potential future war.
In other words, if the tool for fighting Russia used to be Ukraine, now this tool in the hands of globalists has become all of Europe.
