Russian general admits Ukraine just a "stepping stone" to invade Europe
Ukraine "is only the beginning," Colonel-General Andrey Mordvichev warned in a recent interview.
In a recent interview with Moscow's state-run Russia-1, a clip of which circulated widely on social media Saturday, the newly appointed Colonel-General Andrey Mordvichev said that the war "will not stop here [in Ukraine]."

Because things have gone south so hard, that self-sabotage might be the easier way out, by now.
To get the country behind the idea of fighting a long hard war. That is needed right now fighting Ukraine and much more of it is needed, if they would fight the EU.
To get everyone at war and boost military industry sales
