“Russia will roll across Europe”: Germany comments on NATO’s decision to strengthen in the east

20

Due to tensions in relations with Russia, a number of NATO member countries decided to increase their military presence in Eastern Europe, writes the German magazine Der Spiegel. Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Monday that the armed forces would be on standby and patrol operations would be reinforced with more ships and fighter jets.

The German audience reacted ambiguously to the decision of the Alliance to strengthen on the eastern flank.



NATO is doing the right thing. We need to make it clear to Putin that if he does not leave Ukraine alone, the price for him will be too high.

says Avatarvertreter.

I guess this whole Putin spectacle is only meant to divert attention from the People's Republic of China's planned invasion of Taiwan.

Hamberliner is sure.

And we are still outraged that the Russian soldiers are too close to the border, but at the same time on their own land. Now we ourselves will drive our troops closer to the Russians. And why are we better? Come on, brave ones, let's go!

Gott warns.

Thank God that the Bundeswehr has canceled the mandatory conscription

Hannes calmed himself down.

The Bundeswehr is not as weak as many people think. Together with NATO partners, Russia is likely to face about 30 divisions in the first phase of the conflict if Putin does decide to attack us.

- a user with an unpronounceable nickname is bravadoing.

I suddenly had a premonition that the Russian army could roll through Central and Western Europe. On the other hand, Putin understands only force. As soon as the West frees itself from naive pacifism and ceases to give the impression of an uncontrolled chicken coop, this nightmare will end.

one reader wrote.

Well done ... Did you decide to extinguish the fire with gasoline? I can understand the concerns of Russia, which has already become the largest military power in the world. How do you think the US will react if Russia deploys troops and missiles in Cuba?

criticized NATO by PublicEnemy.

Taking any action, we must be aware of what it will cost us to further escalate the conflict! Our dependence on energy supplies from Russia is obvious, and we should calculate how long we can hold out before a complete blackout if the Russians cut off oil and gas supplies.

Peter Claudius thought soberly.

Putin has achieved exactly the opposite of what he wanted: Eastern Europe will receive reinforcements, Sweden and Finland will consider joining NATO

- the perky reader believes.

It is unfortunate that the generation politicians The 90s are already in the other world. Then they recognized the futility of the Cold War and declared it over. The current rulers again believed that there could be a winner in a world war. Pointless saber-rattling, devouring huge sums of money that would be much better invested in a just cause

Clint said.

The US and Russia share a common border. The width of the Bering Strait is much less than the entire Atlantic Ocean. So why are they sorting things out in Europe?!

Che is outraged.

We need to collect 400 troops every year and rehearse the invasion of Russia and Belarus. Then in Moscow they will understand what it is like when you are really threatened. We cannot allow Russia to behave in this way. Now is the time to draw very clear boundaries of what is permitted. Because Russia will not stop on its own, even taking Ukraine. Putin sees war as a legitimate political tool

    It is a pity for some Germans who have forgotten that after their ancestors committed atrocities in the USSR, they remained alive only because of the nobility of this state. And their current "friends" offered to wipe Germany off the face of the Earth. And they would delete it. Like peaceful Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It’s a pity for old Europe, who completely abandoned her culture, education, in favor of the Bluddy-rainbow jumping don’t understand what ....

      Pity old Europe...

      In war as in war. If the West flinches, then, for example, Britain and other countries may disappear from the face of the earth altogether.
      What remains of Europe, Washington and Moscow will divide and establish new red lines.

        No division with the states. They themselves must be thrown back to their own continent. Their world invasion already bakes everyone.

          And let the vassals of Washington in Europe think and worry about this, first of all. Do they need NATO and the aggressive US policy towards the Russian Federation and other countries, the unleashing of wars by the Anglo-Saxons. Or will they forever remain their vassals?

      But I feel sorry for the British, and the Scots. There are many good and interesting people among them. And they have a great football Premier League. And they made a great contribution to the history of mankind. But here it is necessary as it happens - their government is about to make a couple of mistakes. And goodbye island. Well, at least Ireland survives.

    I think we have one answer
    and there can be no other way.
    For the sake of peace, on their Earth,
    we are in response, to the booming ringing of the tocsin,
    breed pigeons in Russia
    and launch them on NATO countries.
    Let the sizari fly across the sky
    cute, trusting birds,
    so that from dawn to dawn
    dump poop on Europe.
    Let them circle, doing good
    sprawled in the sky with a white tailcoat,
    to spoil the entire missile defense system
    and Romanians, Czechs and Poles.
    So that one day, in the morning in the spring,
    as if by a fakir,
    the whole of Europe is up to its neck in shit,
    and above her, all in white,
    dove of peace!

    I would like to turn to the leadership of Russia with a simple question - if NATO wants to organize provocations in the South-East of Ukraine, then why not invite the media, representatives of the West, to the threatened areas? If hostilities begin, media representatives will have exclusive and most truthful footage from the combat area. If they refuse, the real organizer of the provocations of the war will be revealed.

        Well, if you switched to "you". Try not to be naive yourself. By fixing the actions, comments of these correspondents, counter-material of informational distortions of facts and events is accumulated, with temporary fixation. This is much more lethal material than just ranting about the lies of the enemy, without documentary evidence.

      And who, if not these same NATO media, inspired the Germans that Russia had begun aggression, and not NATO led Russia to the abyss. And precisely because of her peacefulness, complacency and naivety, which the crusaders have always caused contempt.

      It is enough to aim our satellites at the Donbass so that they conduct continuous shooting and, plus, put drones on duty there too. And let them record the military actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass, so that later they can be put on public display.

    some Germans don’t understand that there is no Ukraine for Russians, there is only Russian Little Russia occupied by US puppets, that is, the Russian Federation already has the right to launch a limited nuclear strike on the EU in order to destroy the aggressors who have already committed an act of aggression in 14, this fool does not understand that they climbed into the Bear's lair, thinking that he was sleeping, in fact, the Bear did not fall asleep and he has long been ready to break the stray mongrels

      Thank God that there are no such people in power... Is Ukraine like a sovereign state from the point of view of international law? Not? Or are you already making a decision?

        This is an outdated paradigm and a forced decision by Stalin during the formation of the UN, highlighting Ukria as an independent state. There has never been and never will be any Ukraine as a subject.

    Excuse me, are you delirious?
    It is required to remove NATO weapons and troops from the countries of Eastern Europe that joined NATO after 1997. Russia does not plan to deploy its troops and missiles in these countries.

    You write: "The German audience reacted ambiguously to the decision of the Alliance to strengthen on the eastern flank."
    The "German audience" leaves their comments on many web pages.
    Could you indicate (specify) where did you get and translated into Russian these comments?
