Germany warns Russia may be preparing attack on NATO
ukdefencejournal.org.uk
German security officials believe the Kremlin is laying the groundwork for a potential large-scale conventional war with NATO by the end of the decade.

German media outlets Süddeutsche Zeitung, WDR, and NDR also cite the report, noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin appears intent on testing NATO’s Article 5 guarantees. The alliance’s mutual defence clause obliges member states to come to one another’s aid if attacked. The assessment suggests Putin may seek to challenge how seriously that commitment would be honoured.

    As an European, could you please collapse before siding with Russia over us? That would be great, thanks.

    Alternatively, and much preferred, just kick the whole Trump administration into the ocean, hold your own Nuremberg trials and start refreshed into the future. K thx bye.

      Don’t worry, we would.

      The south would demand we side with the champions of (white) Christian culture.

      The coasts would finally have enough and we’d continue the civil war we should have finished 160 years ago.

        Reconstruction ending the way it did was a national tragedy.

        Second times the charm as they say. . .

          I’m honestly ready for Civil War 2. Let the south rise again so I can kick some fascist ass. It’s what they’ve always fantasized about anyway.
