Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday that Moscow would do all it could to “sober up” the European Union and NATO, which he accused of setting out to weaken and defeat Russia.
His comments came on the same day that former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev warned NATO that a defeat for Russia in Ukraine could trigger a nuclear war.
Nearly 11 months after invading Ukraine, Russia is increasingly presenting the war to its own people as an existential battle with the West. In televised comments, Lavrov said Moscow would set out to disabuse Western politicians of their “presumptuous” and “colonial” attitudes to Russia.
“I hope that the sobering up will come,” Lavrov said. “We will do everything so that our colleagues from NATO and the European Union sober up as soon as possible.”
He was speaking during a visit to Moscow's close ally Belarus, which is staging air exercises with Russia this week - part of a long series of joint military activities that have drawn concern from Ukraine that President Vladimir Putin may seek to draw Belarus into the war on Russia's side.
“We have a common position on what goals need to be achieved and how to ensure that neither Russia nor Belarus is threatened by our neighbors - be it Ukraine or anyone else,” Lavrov said in a statement after meeting Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Belarus said the defense ministers of both countries had also spoken by phone.
The joint air exercises started on Monday and are due to run until Feb. 1, using all of Belarus's military airfields. Belarus has said they are purely defensive in nature.
Ukraine has repeatedly warned of possible attacks from Belarus's territory, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week that Ukrainian forces must be ready at the border.

Lavrov says he wants to sober up NATO, the biggest military alliance, with over 30 plus country, with 3 nuclear countries, and over 7 countries with USA nukes stationed with them, and with over top 7 nations as strategic partners, with 6 member countries in the top ten highest military defense budget. With a combined military defense budget of over 6 trillion dollars, yet a certain lavrov wants to sober them.

He also wants to sober the EU, the most wealthy economic bloc in the world, the EU whose member's are among the biggest economies in the world.

it is easy to talk the talk, but can lavrov Russia walk the talk

The irony about all these is that, not all the countries would want to join the war if its escalate. You should be aware that not all European countries are sending ammunitions to Ukraine so some would join USA while some will be in the middle

I would refer you to the article 5 of NATO charter, it is binding, a law for NATO countries to go to war if one is attack, it is not a matter of choice, it mandatory.
That's what makes NATO thick..

The weapons they have been sending as sent thousands of Russian men to the grave, and have been used to liberate more territories from the Imperialist Russian regime.

You should be ashamed. 30plus countries with USA who claims to be world power couldn't Push Russia away from Ukraine. For months now. Russia fighting against NATO plus world power USA still grinding Ukraine like a meat. One country against over 30 countries. With all the sanctions.. still standing strong and fighting hard. Respect Russia.

Just like Nigeria (and maybe Ivory coast and Ghana) are the only countries that made sense in the ecowas, it's the same for Nato. Apart from France, the UK, Turkey, and the US, which other countries made sense in the alliance? The rest are just dead weight.

About their 6 trillion military budget, it doesn't mean anything. As an analogy, you may buy a Lamborghini that cost millions of USD, and I will set it on fire with a lighter that cost less than one USD. Destruction is the cheapest thing on earth. Destruction cost nothing basically.

Why do billionaires have huge securities and refuse to live with the poor? you guess it right, they understand that they may have money to hire the best lawyer, doctors, and every good thing in life, but the poor have the power to destroy, everyone has a monopoly on destruction.

even the destruction, the US has more firepower, better weaponry and allies. While the US and the West are commiting Weapons into the battle, The Russians are committing both Men and Weapons at the expense of their economy. while Ukraine might be getting the heat, after the war Ukraine would get rebuilt alot faster, US would make money from the rebuild. Russia on the other hand won't make the same speedy recovery. China their biggest allies while have supported vocally they are yet and very unlikely to commit to supporting Russia militarily as they don't want to jeopardize trade relations with the US and West.. China gets cheap gas from Russia, and other materials. Russia is losing influence and have few friends.

Turkey and France are empires in the dressing of a country, so they have grudges for being docile members of the US-led western order, especially the fact that nato is a tool for US foreign policy, which they have little influence over.

Also, Turkey has applied for EU membership for a long time (since 1987), but it seems like Kosovo, a new country less than fifteen years old will be admitted first.

In fact, most countries admitted to the EU applied decades after Turkey's application, but Turkey is still on pending. Turkey applied even before the soviet union and Yugoslavia broke off, but all the Baltic countries, Slovenia and Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, and several others are already in the union.

And there is a clash between the foreign policy of each nato member state and nato. Nato implicitly expects all members state to have the same external enemies, and for the Turks, the Russians are no threat at all.

Nato needs a common enemy to justify its existence. And all Nato members must accept that enemy, to harmonize decision-making and political uniformity.

And Turkey also saw all the horrors the US did in the middle east, and how they were silent about the terrorist that was protected by Finland and Sweden (hence Turkey's refusal that they join nato).

If you were Turkey, you will not be happy, will you>?

Russia is great at destroying things, but no nation or nations is better at that than the US..

US urged Ukraine to wait until they have received and mastered the new military aid on the way.. which is logical.. The US is obv tryna minimize lose of the Ukraine military and maximize lose on Russia military.
