It’s the same Russophobic narrative they have been trying to push on us since Russia-gate. If there is no fear of Russian “aggression”, then NATO has no reason to exist.

I didn't hear that in Germany but I also don't watch the news 😅

Luckily, if you don't watch public TV in Germany, you are not affected by things like this. Well unluckily for me, I get exposed to it every once in a while and I did notice similar rhetoric, although it rather came from tabloids like Bild etc. The whole rhetoric simply resonates very well with the currect political agenda (we are the good ones, we do our best to keep the shit together, bad people have infiltrated our democracy, most likely directly paid by Pu... well you know whom). I think the reason is partially the elections in the US and Europe coming up this year and it is an obvious attempt to consolidate around some "external enemy". Partially the fear that, if Trump is elected, EU economies will stagnate if not dive into a new round of recession due to tax raises and businesses and technologies relocating to the US offering more favorable conditions. It doesn't mean though that Russia is not planning something like that, nor does it mean one can simply relax and lean back. But if the recent history has taught us something, it is that a serious crisis is always much more unlikely than just a gradual and slow decay of economic and social prosperity.

Just saw a post on here with Zelensky and about WEF commenting on Ukraine defeat and that Russian will be going after EU next. So it's probably propaganda activated and set in motion by the 4ecent Davos gathering.
