War-hungry NATO boss Mark Rutte and European national leaders are coordinating an evident push toward war, after Germany blamed Russia for an alleged drone attack on Leipzig airport. The drone just happened to fail to detonate.
NATO and EU in ‘Full solidarity’
Rutte and a flood of EU politicians rushed to parrot a message of “full solidarity” with Germany and reinforcing the claim that Russia was behind the attack — almost comically omitting to bother with much variation on the theme:
No evidence presented
But, as socialist journalist Thomas Fazi pointed out, while Rutte insists the “evidence is clear”, Germany has not yet produced any evidence to back up its claim about the ‘failed’ 4 August attack:
“The evidence is clear”, says Rutte. Yet no evidence whatsoever has been produced by German authorities. This story had Gladio 2.0 written all over it, in what looks like a desperate attempt to escalate tensions with Russia even further. Insanely dangerous behaviour. https://t.co/bYjz5I2S3C

NATO “Psy-op pushing us into war”
Swedish journalist Mats Nilsson agreed, describing the coordinated messaging as a “psy-op pushing us into war”:
“Full solidarity”

Claude Tadolti pointed out just how similar the statements are:

Former UK shadow home secretary Diane Abbott agreed that the manufactured ‘threat’ is a “NATO fiction”:
The imminent threat from Russia is a NATO fiction to justify their complete capitulation to Trump’s demands for more military spending.
The increase should not go ahead.Fund rise in military spending from tax on middle earners, says Resolution Foundationhttps://t.co/ygSmhbaxvI

German CEO Manfred Wick provided examples of similar false-flag operations and how they were used to justify war – including the US/Ukrainian attack on Germany’s Nord Stream gas pipelines from Russia:

Gladio 2.0
‘Operation Gladio‘ was a post-WWII CIA/NATO operation of assassinations and false-flag attacks designed to delegitimise socialist organisations in Europe, including both NATO and non-NATO countries, and to foster anti-Russian public sentiment.
Fazi’s description of the Leipzig attack and current propaganda war as ‘Gladio 2.0’ fits into the overall push in the UK and Europe toward war with Russia. This push has manifested just this week in the UK with coordinated press demands for military conscription. This is based on supposed Russian threat after Russia threatened retaliation for the use of UK drones in recent attacks on its civilians. However, the UK, EU and NATO propaganda has been thinly veiled and pervasive and dates back long before beginning of UK drone use.
And throughout its war with Russia, Ukraine has frequently been responsible for attacks for which it blamed Russia — including on its own territory as well neighbouring NATO members — in transparent attempta to provoke NATO action against Russia.
Europe’s so-called ‘elites’ are clearly unhinged enough to consider war with Russia a tenable proposition – and have long shown there are no depths too low for them in pursuit of their entrenched power. Feeding the young of their own nations into the Ukrainian meat-grinder barely registers.
