Summary
Germany’s top defense official, Gen. Carsten Breuer, warned of Russia’s escalating military buildup, calling it an “imminent threat” and comparing it to a wildfire at Europe’s doorstep.
Russia is doubling its pre-war troop levels and stockpiling weapons, suggesting broader ambitions beyond Ukraine. NATO leaders stress the war’s global implications, with China, North Korea, and Iran aligning with Moscow.
As the U.S. pauses most foreign aid under Trump, European officials fear weakened Western support.
Breuer urged allies to unite financially and militarily to counter Russia’s expansionist goals.

This tells me one thing: this guy is actually paying attention rather than speaking propaganda. We should be afraid. Putin will absolutely not stop at Ukraine. Being prepared might end up being costly, but not nearly as costly as NOT being prepared will be.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Or for those not born 2000 years ago:
If you want peace, prepare for war.
Rome the society known for peace.
Then fucking do something about it, you clowns! Is the fucking EU gonna let Putin’s museum pieces and demotivated army get their way?
Like we don’t have the means to fucking deal with them!!
But what about the shareholders? Defense requires taxation and freedom equals less taxes…right?
russia should be liberated into smaller independent regions. they will always be threat otherwise. Russian people would be better off too without their opressive government.
