German media outlets Süddeutsche Zeitung, WDR, and NDR also cite the report, noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin appears intent on testing NATO’s Article 5 guarantees.

    Let me just start with: holy fuck, that’s a lot of text.

    I hope you’re paranoid and everything will be fine, but I fear you’re not, and at least part of that will become reality. I would send thoughts and prayers, but I’m an atheist, and thoughts and prayers is what got you in that situation.

    Good luck, and I mean that. I’m glad not to be in your situation.
