Austin in Kyiv warns allies: if Ukraine falls, Europe will collapse

If Russia is victorious in Ukraine, Europe itself will face collapse, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a speech at the Diplomatic Academy in Kyiv on Oct. 21.

“If Ukraine falls under [Russian dictator Vladimir] Putin’s boot, all of Europe will collapse from Putin’s push,” NV correspondent quotes Austin.

“Putin is not just breaking the norms of the international system, which was built at such a great cost by the allies after WWII. He is pushing us all towards a world war, where might makes right, where empires triumph over [national] sovereignty.”

According to the secretary, Putin wants to prove that his autocracy can outlast global democracy.

“Putin doesn’t just believe his will is stronger,” Austin continues.

“He thinks his system is better. But he has never been more wrong. Few forces are as powerful as democracy fighting for its freedom.”

He then spoke about the extraordinary price the Ukrainian people are paying to achieve a just peace for themselves.

“Yes, there is a cost to pay for human freedom,” Austin added.

“But it is meager compared to the price we all will pay if we allow aggression to continue unchecked.”

  1. “But it is meager compared to the price we all will pay if we allow aggression to continue unchecked.”

    But you’re not going to get the long range missiles needed, because we are scared of putler’s nuke threats.

  2. Austin should just retire. Blathering warm words without supporting them in a concrete way doesn’t make him look like an honorable, long-term soldier, but rather just like another mouthpiece for the bunny administration.

    • His mate Cavoli was spreading bs about mafia land being stronger after this war, even if they lose.

      • Yes, I read the headline, but that’s it. The title told me that it’s a total waste of time to read.
        I guess the dork has missed the part about the roaches using golf carts and 1940s and 1950s tanks and artillery, and using self-immolating north korean junk ammo.

  3. Who gives a fuck about Europe anyway? The fall of Ukraine alone should put the Pentagon on alert. But gay liberal morons are afraid of guns…
