Europe quietly prepares for World War III
Europe quietly prepares for World War III

"Russia is preparing for a war with the West," Bruno Kahl, the head of Germany's foreign intelligence service, said in late November.

But it's not likely to be a large-scale attack into NATO territory, the intelligence chief warned. Moscow could opt for a limited incursion or upping its hybrid warfare tactics to probe the alliance's conviction, Kahl said.

Vladimir Putin’s spies are plotting global chaos
Vladimir Putin’s spies are plotting global chaos
Mr Putin embraces these ideas. “We are in for probably the most dangerous, unpredictable and at the same time most important decade since the end of World War II,” he said in late 2022. “To cite a classic,” he added, invoking an article by Vladimir Lenin in 1913, “this is a revolutionary situation.” That belief—that the post-war order is rotten and needs rewriting, by force if necessary—also gives Russia common cause with China. “Right now there are changes the likes of which we haven’t seen for 100 years,” Xi Jinping told Mr Putin last year in Moscow, “and we are the ones driving these changes together.”

Putin:

“It would mean that NATO countries, the US, European countries, are at war with Russia…

We will take the appropriate decisions based on the threats that we will face.”

This move raises global security concerns, intensifying fears of direct NATO-Russia confrontation.
