Germany’s defence chief says the level to which Russia is building up its military, which he categorized as an “imminent threat,” is deeply concerning to him.

Summary

Germany’s top defense official, Gen. Carsten Breuer, warned of Russia’s escalating military buildup, calling it an “imminent threat” and comparing it to a wildfire at Europe’s doorstep.

Russia is doubling its pre-war troop levels and stockpiling weapons, suggesting broader ambitions beyond Ukraine. NATO leaders stress the war’s global implications, with China, North Korea, and Iran aligning with Moscow.

As the U.S. pauses most foreign aid under Trump, European officials fear weakened Western support.

Breuer urged allies to unite financially and militarily to counter Russia’s expansionist goals.

    This tells me one thing: this guy is actually paying attention rather than speaking propaganda. We should be afraid. Putin will absolutely not stop at Ukraine. Being prepared might end up being costly, but not nearly as costly as NOT being prepared will be.
