Leonid Slutsky called NATO's "quick victory" strategy an escalation of the information war

Leonid Slutsky said that the NATO strategy for a “quick victory” over Russia announced in the media is a step towards escalation in the information war.

According to Slutsky, NATO's strategy is used to justify the failures of Western countries and escalate the Russian threat.

Slutsky emphasized that Russia does not intend to attack the countries of the alliance and that a quick victory over Russia is impossible.

MOSCOW, October 5 - RIA Novosti. The NATO strategy for a “quick victory” over Russia announced in the media is a step towards escalation in the information war and inflating “bogeymen” to justify the failures of Western countries, Leonid Slutsky, a member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs and leader of the LDPR, told RIA Novosti.

Bloomberg previously reported that the Commander-in-Chief of NATO's allied armed forces in Europe, American General Alexus Grinkevich, is developing a so-called strategy for achieving a “quick victory” for the alliance in the event of an alleged potential military conflict with Russia, called the “Victory Theory.”

“The NATO plan “Victory Theory” announced in the media is certainly an escalation, at least in the information war. Inflating “scarecrows” to justify one’s own failures in foreign and domestic policy - in short,” Slutsky said.

The deputy added that the Russian threat is still being intensified in Western society to fabricate the grounds for militarization and transfer the economies of European countries to a war footing. At the same time, as Slutsky pointed out, Russia has repeatedly assured that it does not intend to attack the countries of the alliance.

“Moreover, leaders such as Trump and even Stubb recognize the fact that the Russian side has no intention of going to war against NATO,” the deputy emphasized.

According to Slutsky, the movement towards the Third World War is doomed to a catastrophe on a planetary scale. There will simply be no winners, he noted.

“NATO would-be strategists must realize that they will not be able to win any quick victories over a leading nuclear power,” summed up Slutsky.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly rejected allegations that the Russian Federation plans to attack NATO countries. Moscow also stated that it was not interested in a direct military conflict with the North Atlantic Alliance.
