Ellie Cook – NEWSWEEK Dec 1, 2025
Russia has hit back at comments from NATO’s top military commander after he suggested the alliance could launch “pre-emptive” strikes against Moscow, in the context of tactics like cyberattacks or sabotage.
Why It Matters
Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the chair of NATO’s military committee, told the Financial Times the alliance was mulling over “being more aggressive or being proactive instead of reactive.”
A “pre-emptive” move from NATO could be deemed “defensive” but would be a step away from how the alliance would typically operate, the Italian admiral added.
What To Know
Dragone’s remarks are “an extremely irresponsible step, indicating the readiness of the alliance to continue to move toward escalation,” Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for Moscow’s Foreign Ministry, said in comments reported by state media on Monday.
Newsweek has reached out to NATO for comment.
NATO officials say the alliance is hammered by cyberattacks on a daily basis, some of which can be traced back to Moscow. Cyber is one strand of what is known as hybrid warfare, or tactics that fall short of open fighting. They can also refer to information campaigns, weaponizing migration or targeting critical infrastructure.
NATO in January said it would beef up its presence in the Baltic, including operating more frigates and maritime patrol aircraft, shortly after a spate of suspected sabotage incidents linked to Russia’s “shadow fleet” of sanctions-skirting oil tankers. Several undersea cables were cut or damaged in November and December 2024, including four data cables and a major power link on December 25.
Dragone said the pumped up NATO presence, referred to as Baltic Sentry, was “working.”
“From the beginning of Baltic Sentry, nothing has happened,” he said.
A Finnish court in October dismissed the case against the crew of the Eagle S, a Cook Islands-flagged tanker that faced charges of aggravated criminal mischief and aggravated interference with communications over the Christmas Day damage. Prosecutors had alleged that the tanker had dragged its anchor along the seabed for roughly 56 miles. The crew denied wrongdoing.
“It was not possible to apply Finnish criminal law to the case,” the Finnish court said. Dragone told the FT legal frameworks and problems over jurisdiction made working out how to be “aggressive” more complex.
NATO countries are still working out who is responsible for policing areas vulnerable to sabotage, like the Baltic and North Seas.
Roughly 20 drones crossed into NATO member Poland in September, when Warsaw triggered the alliance’s Article 4. This means member nations come together to discuss “whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened.”
Moscow said at the time it had not deliberately targeted the country, but Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the incident marked “the closest we have been to open conflict since World War II.” Both NATO and the European Union are working on fortifying anti-drone defenses.
What People Are Saying
“Being more aggressive compared with the aggressivity of our counterpart could be an option,” said Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the chair of NATO’s military committee.
The Putintards/conservatards still haven’t figured out that both NATO & BRICS are ruled by the same transnational Commie cult of Jew central bankers pretending to be ‘enemies’ to dialectically advance their global WEF/UN Agenda 2030 techno-Communist goals & setup prearranged wars to liquidate white males.
This is why the clown Boris Johnson stopped Zelensky from seeking peace, not so Ukraine could stay in the war against Russia but so that NATO could.
If you think about it, the “citizens” of NATO countries should all want out. All you need is a dick like this Dragone to push a button and all the males will die in his war. Just like in the jewkraine.
The jews are attacking Russian ports and ships to try to get them to attack NATO. You can’t expect the Russians to put up with it forever. What’s mind numbing to me is why NATO don’t just start the war by simply declaring war on Russia. It’s not like anyone in the jew cesspools would lift a finger to stop it. Better yet, why not just send the soldiers out in each country with enough ammo to kill every white man, woman and child? Why all the fucking around? We all know what they’re doing so let’s just get it done.
Get a load of that costumed imbecile in the image at the top with the absurd billboard of colorful “campaign ribbons”…for campaigns in which he surely never actually saw any real action and surely did not earn, unless one of them is for manning the business side of a glory-hole on the flagship. And is Guido the Cue Ball with the running joke that is the Italian navy? Send in the f*cking clowns.
Being more aggressive compared with the “aggressivity” of our counterpart could be an option, said Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the chair of NATO’s military committee.
Another day… another moron from Nato’s top-brass making an utter fool of himself. 🙄
LOL…
That’s what’s so funny about the fake war…the low level characters in starring roles, the staggering levels of incompetence and grift and paucity of believable narrative.
.it’s like watching some medieval despot on his crumbling battlements screaming at the dead corpses of his knights to mount and charge whilst planning the winning counter offensive..
a gallant surge of cleaning staff and ladies in waiting…
Glory beckons..

French uranium company Orano ( vorher Arriva) had to leave a big stockpile after Niger expelled Orano & the military of France from the country/ Maricron c,s, took the case to court….the “World Bank court”/ of course this court ruled in favor of France & banned Niger from entering the mining site…..
4.37 ‘The World Bank court is nothing more than a front for the interest of western mega corporations & the massive nations that finance them….the “court” pretends to be impartial….but Tiani c.s. know that these laws were written by the colonisers for the colonisers ( mind you Niger got its independence from France already in the 1960’s /gj) to guarantee their perpetual right to steal….”

This money is immediately funding massive social programs/ building schools/ equiping hospitals & strenghtening the national military…. ”
“When Maricron hysterically screamed for military intervention 10.08: The Russian shield immediately formed an impenetrable wall of iron around Niger/ advanced air defense systems rendered any attack by Nato or the Ecowas puppits totally suicidal….
