Rob Bauer, chairman of the NATO Military Committee, said: “We must recognize that living in peace is not a given. And that is why we (NATO) are preparing a conflict with Russia.”

It could be within the next twenty years Breakout of a full-scale war against Russia, and it is good for civilians in NATO countries to prepare for this possibility. This is the frankly frightening thesis that the lieutenant admiral put forward yesterday during a meeting with journalists Rob BauerPresident of the Military Committee of the Atlantic Alliance, according to which “We must recognize that a life of peace cannot be taken for granted. And that's why we (NATO) We are preparing for a conflict with Russia“. And as part of this preparation, US General Christopher Cavoli, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, explained that the Atlantic Alliance will soon conduct its largest military exercise in decades, which will involve around 90,000 soldiers.
After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, NATO countries committed to granting Kiev billions of dollars in military aid and thus significantly reducing their arms and ammunition deliveries. Hence the decision to increase war production in the coming years, in the apparently not distant prospect that a war could actually be waged against Russia in the not too distant future. “We need to be better prepared,” Bauer said, which wasn’t surprising. “We need to equip ourselves with a system to find more people in the event of war. Then we talk about mobilization, reservists or conscription.”
Cameron: “I feel like a 1930s foreign secretary”
The outbreak of a conflict between major nuclear powers is therefore no longer ruled out by the highest NATO bodies. And perhaps what's worse is that not even political leaders are doing this now. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said yesterday that Russia's invasion of Ukraine made him feel today, in 2024: “as if you were foreign minister or head of state or government in Europe in the 1930s“. Shortly thereafter, World War II would break out with 54 million deaths. Recent statements by Swedish officials about the prospect of a future war also sparked concern across the country. For Bauer, however, it is the right approach. “It is important to recognize that not everything can be planned and Not everything will be good in the next 20 years“said the chairman of the Military Committee of the Atlantic Alliance.
“This is how Russia could attack NATO”, secret document from Berlin, Kremlin: “Only false reports”
Pistorius (Germany): “War against Russia in 5-8 years”
The statements from Cameron, the Swedish government and senior NATO officials were added by those of German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, who said in an interview with the newspaper Der Tagesspiegel: “It must be taken into account that one day the Russian President.” Vladimir Putin will attack a NATO country.” The federal government representative added that he currently considers Russian aggression against the Atlantic Alliance to be unlikely. “According to our experts, it could happen in five to eight years,” the minister said.
