According to him, in NATO's policy is above all to presentation of Russia as the biggest threat to the West, based on the principle, "I believe in what I made up" - meaning that they made up "the Russian threat" that they use to scare themselves.
Shoigu explained that in the meantime NATO is taking practical steps, such as developing military infrastructure near Russia's border, and ramping up the alliance activity in the Black and Baltic Sea.
He added that such steps lead to a rise of tensions, and require an adequate response from Russia.
Everywhere the same game. Politicians need an outside enemy. NATO countries use Russia and China for that, Russia uses NATO, China USA,... and in the Balkan well, we all know the game here.
The strange thing is, civilians usually have not so much problems on personal level and still this game with deep fears works.

Talk about provocation or what....
Does America (which leads Nato) want to provoke a conflict? Why do they do these things, but then have the nerve to claim that Russia has an aggressive policy??
And all these small nations like Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, N Macedonia, may one day send their young people to fight against Russia on behalf of America....who will probably provoke the conflict in the first place.

All this as Xi and Vlad are meeting at this very moment. Coincidence, I think not?!? Maybe the Russians should invite some of the Chinese Naval might into the Black and Baltic seas in a show of unity.... what's good for the goose... China/Russia on the rise, the US/West and NATO on the decline - got to love it!
