Tonight we delve into a question that has the world
on edge.
Is the NATO gearing up for World War
3A? Recent report suggests a prominent NATO ally,
Germany, reportedly has a plan to deploy hundreds of thousands
of troops to fight Russia in the event of a
future war.
You heard that right. As many as
800,000 troops could be mobilized,
heightening fears of a significant escalation.
The report published by leading German newspaper claims access to
a secret document.
This document reportedly outlines that German and NATO troops would
use ports,
highways and railways to move eastwards if an all out
war with Russia breaks out.
Let's just break this down for you.
The troops would need to be to be deployed within
three to six months of a conflict,
along with around 200,000 vehicles,
huge number of weapons of course and other equipment.
They will likely arrive in Germanys N seaports before heading
east towards the battlefields.
One pivotal route route would be Germanys A2 highway,
stretching 300 miles from Oberhosen in the West to Berlin
in the east.
This route runs closely to NATO ally Polands border,
making it a strategic yet vulnerable pathway.
Bridges along this highway could become prime targets for Russian
attacks,
potentially dealing NATO mobilization.
In fact, Germany is reportedly exploring alternative routes and contingencies.
Plans are underway to house,
resupply and feed the hundreds of thousands of allied troops
passing through Germany.
Convoys would have the option to stop for supplies and
rest every 300 to 500 meters.
The logistical effort of this magnitude would require new powers
for Germanys federal police,
including conscription to the service and officers for running prisoner
of war camps.
Just last month, reports claimed that the NATO is expanding
plans for several land corridors to move troops and equipment,
including American forces, in preparation for a potential war with
Russia.
These corridors would stretch from Italy to Slovenia,
Croatia and Hungary, as well as routes via Turkey,
Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Scandinavia. It is important to note here
that NATO countries in the recently concluded Washington summit reviewed
the new force model which aims to have over hundreds
of thousands of troops ready for conducting land,
Naval, Air, space and cyber operations
in the eventuality of a large scale war.
In fact, the review found that
500,000 troops were presently ready for combat.
The ongoing Russia Ukraine war has the entire globe on
edge.
Several prominent political leaders have spoken on the prospect of
the war potentially turning to World War Three.
Just last weeks Slovakia as Prime Minister
Robert Fico said that Ukraine joining the NATO could spark
a global conflict.
I'm quoting, I understand Ukraines wishes it is a sovereign
country,
but Ukraines membership in the NATO is just a guarantee
of World War Three.
Quote, UN quote. That is what Fico said in a
video on Facebook.
In fact, his comments came just a few hours after
the Slovakian delegation at the NATO summit in Washington supported
Ukraines membership to the alliance.
Russian President Vladimir Putin made similar statements in the month
of March.
Remember, he cautioned the West
that a direct conflict between the NATO and Russia would
mean that the world was just a step away from
World War Three.
It is important to note that at the recently to
summit,
officials announced the deployment of long range
US missiles in Germany from
2026 onwards for the first time since the Cold War.
the US and the former Soviet Union would have banned
such missiles under a
1988 treaty, but this pact fell apart five years ago.
The 1988 treaty basically banned placing any kind of long
range missiles that could travel between 500 to
5500 kilometers. This move only worsened the
relations between the Western Russia,
with analysts in fact saying that the relations are at
the worst since the Cuban Missile Crisis in
1962.
Now one thing is clear,
the NATO is taking significant steps to prepare for a
worst case scenario.
But the question still remains,
are these preparations a necessary precaution
or is the world inching,
inching closer towards a catastrophe conflict?
