Maybe I misunderstand, but I think that headline is pretty obviously sarcasm.
They are making fun of Russia constantly claiming NATO has declared war on Russia.
So I am honestly a bit confused why this is downvoted? I guess people don't get the sarcasm, or maybe I'm missing something?

Yes the headline was changed "editorialized" by OP, but in essence it's the same thing.

The msn source is shit. Here is another "source" for the claim. It's just the typical Lavrov bla bla, so the downvotes are still justified.

This just goes to the MSN website homepage.

Msn does that for Firefox.

No issues on Chrome or with a user agent spoofed to Chrome.

Works fine on Firefox here, also Chrome is Google's attempt at controlling advertisement on the internet, so I wouldn't recommend anybody using that.

Works fine for me on Firefox. No agent spoofing either.

Either way, it's the Daily Express saying:

Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov declared NATO and the EU are now "at war" with Moscow

So, no. Not a declaration of war, simply Russia being a fucktard again.

I thought they've been at war with NATO?

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

They have, but now they are REALLY at war with NATO! 😜 😜

Yes, but now Germany is officially allowed to send Taurus lol

Is anyone else getting a comically irrelevant video called "Russian Army vs Europe Combined: A Realistic Military Scenario" from "Binkov's Battlegrounds" as part of the article (this is with UBO on desktop with a high level of customization)?

This is a very stupid article (in terms of title/framing and content).

[–] F_State@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

Sensationalist Headline. But, also an article about a sensationalist Russian mouthpiece for the government. Misleading in anycase. Russia will say things like "we're in conflict" "NATO is already at war with us" then threaten war if the Poles shoot down Russian Warplanes brazenly violating their air space.
