The really grim thing about this ignorant comment is that everyone did
Russia has Crimea because they did negotiate last time. They surrendered land for peace. And that's why it isn't happening again

This specific idea seems to be a mix of climate change denialism (they want us to stop driving) mixed with COVID time authoritarian scares (forced internment, stay at home etc) and while we know Russia has helped push parts of these ideas before or pushed this after I think this one really did originally come direct from the right wing American billionaire owned think tanks.
This specific idea caught on for some reason but they've been chucking out variations on this crap for years
Maybe the American propaganda pushers don't make French language versions

You're right about a Russia/NATO war being unwinnable for Russia. Even the current military of Europe alone would be enough to see off Russia.
So, what is he warning us about? I see two (not exclusive) things he could be doing.
Trump winning in America would cause such stress on NATO it would fragment, and even if they kick America out it still looks weak so they want all of Europe to beat the 2% requirement to try and keep trump's USA in NATO.
Second, he's warning of war with china. This is where my money is.

Enforcing a blockade around an island full of long range anti ship and air defences, aided by the US military, is extremely hard. Also and more importantly it's a very long dragged out war that gives Taiwan time to build allies, and the west to organise, which will make it harder and harder to enforce.
Finally you're replying to someone saying the war will take a long time, which you initially disagree with then go on to talk about an embargo which more than agrees with it. It's going to take ages to resolve if they attack and it'll almost certainly include Russia distracting NATO in Europe. I dearly hope china sees sense and gets rid of xi before his desperation for personal achievements in his lifetime causes the nation and world a lot of pointless suffering
The us military is constantly experiencing warfare.
If anyone in that pic turns out to have been swimming naked it'll be the chinese
The only take that makes sense
