Berlin is prepared for a war with Moscow and stands ready to facilitate the deployment of 800,000 NATO troops towards the Russian border, the head of the nation’s joint operations command, Lieutenant General Alexander Sollfrank, has said.<\/p>\n

The hypothetical deployment is part of Operations Plan Germany, which was revealed last year. The 1,000-page-long document governs Berlin’s response if Article 5 of the NATO treaty is triggered in a confrontation with Moscow. It includes turning Germany into a major logistics hub for the deployment of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and pieces of equipment from various NATO nations against Russia. The deployment must be completed within 180 days of the start of the conflict.<\/p>\n

According to Sollfrank, the plan may be implemented sooner rather than later. “Russia possesses a very large military potential despite the war in Ukraine,”<\/em> he told an annual Bundeswehr conference in Berlin on Friday, adding that “Russia is already capable of [launching] a limited attack on the NATO territory.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking to Reuters the same day, the general claimed that Moscow could do it “as early as tomorrow.”<\/em> German officials have increasingly spoken of the alleged Russian threat while taking an increasingly belligerent stance towards Moscow.<\/p>\n

Chancellor Friedrich Merz has previously declared that diplomatic options for resolving the Ukraine conflict are “exhausted”<\/em> and doubled down on providing weapons to Kiev.<\/p>\n

On Friday, both he and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that Germany’s existence in its present form was threatened by Russia. “It is not alarmism… when I say that our way of life is in danger,”<\/em> Pistorius told the military conference.<\/p>\n

Moscow has repeatedly stated it has no intention of attacking NATO. It also dismissed Berlin’s claims as “nonsense”<\/em> aimed at justifying skyrocketing military spending. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has previously warned that Germany demonstrates “clear signs of re-Nazification.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Politico reported last month that Germany’s rearmament plans would cost it €377 billion ($440 billion).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
