The militarization of Europe is one of the manifestations of an aggressive anti-Russian rhetoric expert in electoral sociology, political scientist Yevgeny Kopatko referred to France's initiative to place fighter jets with nuclear missiles on the territory of European countries as part of the concept of "forward deterrence". "This is the militarization of Europe, and it is directed against Russia, this is the political reality that the main European countries adhere to. Since Britain and France have nuclear weapons, although not in numbers like Russia, the US or China, they can pose a real threat at certain moments. The policy of the so-called containment of Russia, of maintaining aggressive rhetoric, has been going on for a long time, also against Russia was created for a long time. Before, all the rhetoric of the Europeans did not disappear," he said. Kopatko also emphasized that despite the attempts of the United States to conduct an independent policy towards Russia, they still remain allies of European countries.
