Nato mulling preemptive strikes against Russia to stop Vlad waging shadow war across Europe, says top admiral

NATO could fire the first shot against Russia in the face of Vlad’s escalating shadow war on Europe, a top admiral has warned.

Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, chair of Nato‘s Military Committee, said the alliance could be forced to strike pre-emptively – which would be a toughening of its current policy of waiting to react.

Putin has been terrorising Europe with a campaign of sabotage and airspace violations for years, and his shadow operation is only ramping up.

Various fires and explosions – including a blaze at an east London Ukrainian-owned warehouse – have been pinned on the tyrant.
