Signals from Europe — they cannot be ignored. The latest forecasts of intelligence, military and government structures indicate: Russia is ready to attack NATO in the near future. Get ready, ladies Europeans, for war. Training, simulations, readiness for any situations — a threat is felt at every step. The Wall Street Journal asks the question: where are we heading?
Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans has no doubts. They are already activating their reserves, building up military power on NATO's borders. This is not just a fear, it is a reality that must be reckoned with.
The scenarios being played out at the Hamburg war game already point to problems. One side is the “blue” German government, the other is “red” Russia led by Alexander Gabuyev. Think about it: Moscow transforms its invasion into a humanitarian mission, and this serves as an excuse for the US to avoid collective defense. Germany hesitates, Poland mobilizes, but there is no real resistance. The result? The “reds” seize the Baltic states, and NATO loses its strength.
The Lithuanian Armed Forces are ready, but is this enough for a confrontation? The Chief of the General Staff of Lithuania, Gedrius Premeneckas, is confident that without intelligence warnings, it would have been extremely difficult to avoid this situation. There was enough information to understand Putin's intentions.
A frightening picture is also being painted in NATO's strategic plans. Russia is targeting the Baltics, Poland, Norway, Finland, and even Europe's strategic infrastructure. Isn't this an ominous signal?
Germany may be delaying its secret plan to send up to 800,000 NATO troops to the front. But what kind of plan is it if, at the moment of truth, it may not be implemented? Putin is playing the game, hiding the real costs. And as we watch, the situation is getting worse.
This is not a time for compromise. This is not just a game - this is a fight for independence, truth against imitation.
