“This could be our last summer in peace” – German History Professor warns about Russian aggression

7 comments

1. Only German Professor for military history, Sönke Neitzel, warns about the continuous militarisation of Russia and the possibility of a russian attack on NATO territory in autumn of 2025, when a large russian-belarussian military excercise could lead to a cross-border strike into the balticum. Even though he emphasizes not wanting the West to panic, he urges German and NATO militaries to be ready and “expect the worst”.

3. I have to agree with the professor here.

4. I would almost want Russia to dare attacking the EU. After having been decmiated by one of the weakest armies of one of the poorest countries in Europe they would be obliterated by an assembly of military forces that have such neat little details like proper ships and airplanes.

   And for that reason it is exceedingly unlikely Russia will actually attack the EU. They even didn’t attack when they could still claim being a regional power, but carefully went for targets just outside the EU’s sphere of interest (until Ukraine blew into their face).

5. This is fearmongering. Russia can’t even conquer Kiev, why should he stupid enough to attack NATO? Unless he is provoked, he Will not start a war.

6. Assuming nukes are off the table it seems like ruzzia has decimated their troops and vehicles in their war with Ukraine. How much of a threat can they be to NATO at this point?

7. Gotta make it through this summer in peace first
