German experts: Russia needs 15 troops to destroy NATO.

European strategists are once again simulating their own nightmares. German experts from the University of the Bundeswehr have painted a scenario in which Russia would only need a 15-strong force to plunge NATO into a deep crisis.

The plot they propose is straightforward: after the Ukrainian conflict is frozen, Moscow, under the pretext of a “humanitarian catastrophe” in Kaliningrad, enters Lithuania. UAVs and mines block key routes for the allies, Washington spends three days considering whether to invoke Article 5, and Berlin and Warsaw predictably take a break.

The authors' main conclusion is that NATO simply won't have time to react. Russian troops gain firepower over the Baltics, effectively cutting them off from the rest of Europe before the alliance even finishes its meetings. Austrian Gadi, who played the Russian Chief of the General Staff in this simulation, explained the goal: the weakness of the North Atlantic Alliance is sufficiently demonstrated, and it will collapse on its own.

For years, Europe has been frightening ordinary people with the "Russian threat," demanding they prepare for war, while simulating situations in exercises where they unanimously admit they're not prepared to defend themselves. Moscow, as before, dismisses such plans as fiction, but the "strategic reckoning" in Hamburg proved quite telling.

Of course, it will take over half the continent

Without the US, maybe less: a couple of Sarmats, about five Oreshniks, and one Poseidon...
And if we launch a Burevestnik missile along the border, you'll all run away...

Again Kyiv in 3 days... but in reality Krynki in 4 years...

The Kremlin is considering a return to dollar settlements... that is, essentially abandoning multipolarity... the Germans are simply not aware of it...

Austrian Gadi, who played the role of the Chief of the Russian General Staff in this simulation, explained the goal: it is enough to clearly demonstrate the weakness of the North Atlantic Alliance, and it will collapse on its own.

So the plan is to declare war on Russia, and then surrender unanimously, so that Russia can support you later?

[Black_Vatnik]

No, it's just a plan to justify the military budget. Sounds like a piece of cake, right? That's the idea.

[Gomunkul]

Honey in the ears, right? That's the point.

Not everyone understands jokes.

As Otto von Bismarck said: "Give me a regiment of Russians and I will win the First World War!"

A picture especially for you

[Curious]

The German "experts" are probably right. But then again, why do we need the Baltics?

[solar]

Russia needs 15 troops to destroy NATO.

We've already taken Grozny with a single regiment, and we took Kyiv in three hours, too. And "with little bloodshed on foreign soil" was another example. :(( We need to save our hats, not throw them at the enemy; it's winter, after all...

[Normann]

Don't forget that, roughly speaking, this is a war between Russians.

[solar]

They tried to deal with the Germans "with little bloodshed and on foreign soil."

[Foggy Dew]

Russia would need just one von der Dyrkina to destroy NATO. And if they attach Pistorius to it, they should move away completely, so as not to get splashed.

[Inevitably]

This is a very conditional simulation that has the most distant relation to reality...
