...but they've cooked their goose thanks to their Russia-centric policies of the last 25 years. More on that later.
Here's the plan:
https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/germany-russia-wa...BERLIN—A dozen senior German officers convened at a triangle-shaped military compound in Berlin about 2½ years ago to work on a secret plan for a war with Russia.
Now they’re racing to implement it.
Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine ended decades of stability in Europe. Since then, the region has embarked on its fastest military buildup since the end of World War II. But the outcome of a future war won’t depend only on the number of troops and weapons in the field.The Germany of 1990 wouldn't have had to worry about the Russkies. The one that's the weak sister to the 1990 crew does. Too bad they've gutted their heavy industry in service to the climate change cultists (who, if we're honest, have to be rife with foreign agents working for the Russians and the Chinese. )
Anyway:
The blueprint details how as many as 800,000 German, U.S. and other NATO troops would be ferried eastward toward the front line. It maps the ports, rivers, railways and roads they would travel, and how they would be supplied and protected on the way.800,000 NATO troops? Yeah, no. For starters that would mean north of 500,000 Americans since the combined NATO armies can't field/supply anywhere close to that number of guys. Secondly, if your plan is to ferry troops to Germany to fight Russia the war is already off to a bad start
because it means Putin's already knocked over Poland . Sheesh.
German officials have said they expect Russia will be ready and willing to attack NATO in 2029. But a string of spying incidents, sabotage attacks and airspace intrusion in Europe, many of them attributed to Moscow by Western intelligence, suggest it could be preparing to pounce sooner.Russia can't subdue its lightly armed neighbor, the one that has no ability to defend its airspace. Any Russia attack on NATO is meant to be a distraction from the main event in the Pacific.
Here's the truest statement of them all from this article:
“We must relearn what we unlearnt,” said Nils Schmid, deputy defense minister. “We have to drag people back from retirement to tell us how we did it back then.”Damn straight you do. You Euros have forgotten how to tie your own shoes, much less walk and chew gum at the same time.
Even Cold War-era infrastructure isn’t always usable. Berlin estimates 20% of highways and over a quarter of highway bridges need repairs due to chronic underinvestment. Germany’s North Sea and Baltic Sea harbors need work worth €15 billion, including €3 billion for dual-use upgrades such as dock reinforcements, according to the federation of German seaports.This article really highlights how far the Europeans and the Germans in particular have let themselves go.
