Thomas Fazi: NATO's Hybrid Warfare - Deception & Permanent War
Summary
Italian journalist Thomas Fassi joins Glenn Diesen to dissect the concept of "hybrid warfare," arguing it is a vague narrative used by the EU-NATO establishment to justify rearmament and suppress dissent. Fassi reviews recent debunked claims of Russian sabotage, including drone sightings and infrastructure attacks, asserting that these fabrications serve as propaganda to maintain high threat perceptions. The discussion concludes by examining how this manufactured fear parallels historical Cold War tactics and potentially paves the way for further escalation against Russia.
