German Intel: Russia Prepares for NATO War, Despite Ukraine Debacle
In summary, German intelligence agencies and the Bundeswehr assess Russia as preparing for a major conflict with NATO, viewing the West as a systemic adversary. This assessment suggests Russia aims for a large-scale conventional war capability by the end of the decade, exceeding its Ukrainian campaign ambitions. Despite significant losses, Russia continues to bolster its military strength, increasing troop numbers and military spending dramatically. While a full-scale NATO conflict isn’t considered imminent by all, the potential for limited attacks against NATO members remains a concern.
