1) Interestingly, historically - west or middle European attacks on Russia were perhaps more numerous than the Russian attacks on the west. European narrative of a permanent victimhood is a complex military political expansionist mindset that covers a whole slew of faultlines.

2) East Europe faced its most brutal attacks not from Russia, but from murderous Steppe hordes, Mongols and Turks, Teutonic knights crusaders (yes they put their tails between rumps after a century in the Levant but had their pleasure on Poles, Lithuanians, assorted Germanics)

3) Europe mounted at least four major campaigns against Russia over the last two centuries, one of which was formally on securing of protection of orthodox communities under Islamist Ottoman empire - when Christian France and UK joined hands with Muslim Ottomans against Russia.

4) With the exception of a brief Bolshevik bed sharing with Islamists in central Asia (Cominternists carried away in ideological stupor), Russians hv been the most consistent of Viking-mixes in stalling or clearing land of expanding or entrenched jihadis in west-central Asia.

5) While Europe is abandoning the crucial band from subtropical Atlantic coast of Africa to Pacific coast of China, with the major portion its handing over on a platter to jihadis -it will become more dependent on the land route over Russia to China - its outsourced manufacturer.

6) Handing Africa over to mullahs and doing everything possible to protect and strengthen the hands of Sunni grip on both sides of Red Sea and Indian Ocean, means "we have the shipping" will not really work in scoffing the land route.

7) Strangely Europe hates both two fortified camps of white skin (which it otherwise holds on to dearly) that diverts, flanks and distracts the middle eastern jihad - Russia and Israel. These two serve as detractors and thorns on the flank of Asian jihad against Europe.

8) Europe created the resurgence of jihad as a detractor over the last two centuries out of its hatred for cultural entities it sees as the hated "other" oriental/Asian. Its angry that Russia is moving into what its trying to hand over to mullahs in Africa and Asia.

9) For Europe, human rights of jihadis matter more than the human rights of victims of jihadis. Hence they are whining about Wagners alleged loving characteristics - which they think is more loving than what Europeans themselves provided to Lumumba or similar others.

10) Its ironic that a think tank in Austria doesnt realize the importance of a flank that keeps the jihadi horde distracted - when it was a marginalized Austria that found itself having to stop Ottoman expansion at the gates of its imperial capital, with forces from its east.
