Europe is quietly preparing for war with Russia.
France on Thursday announced a new military program for volunteers aged 18 and 19, aiming to boost the country’s reservists to 100,000 by 2030; a general warned that France must be prepared to “lose its children” in a potential conflict with Moscow.
German officials believe Russia could attack NATO in 2029, and have secretly prepared a blueprint for war that envisions Germany as a vast NATO staging ground, with plans to move as many as 800,000 troops to a hypothetical eastern front, The Wall Street Journal reported: “The goal is to prevent war by making it clear to our enemies that if they attack us, they won’t be successful,” the plan’s author said.
