Lawrence Wilkerson warns of European escalation against Russia

Retired U.S. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson has warned that European escalation against Russia could lead to severe consequences. He characterized European actions as “reckless, foolish, and crazy,” specifically citing the transfer of data packages to Ukraine regarding Storm Shadow missile technology to enable domestic production.

Wilkerson suggested that such actions could lead to the disintegration of NATO and leave Europe isolated. He further predicted that Ukraine could become a “backward state” stripped of its ports and agricultural capacity, potentially leading to neighboring countries seizing territory.

While noting that Donald Trump has held discussions with Vladimir Putin regarding a potential positive future, Wilkerson warned that Moscow’s patience with European provocations may soon run out. He stated that while Russia does not seek war with NATO, it does not intend to lose if such a conflict occurs.
