    Would European Union let Germany alone against Russia? Would Poland let russian army cross their territory? Would russian expect Germany and Ukrain don’t unite?

    I don’t trust Russia would attack.

      You’re trying to analyze Russia with logic. And there’s Russian saying to that “One won’t understand Russia with mind” (or intellect).

      It made zero sense to let territories occupied since 2014 to be run by banditry rather than make them propaganda projects. It made no sense to invade on full-scale rather than keep funding pro-Russian parties and eventually get another Hungary into EU. It makes absolutely no sense continuing the war. But Russia keeps doing that.

      I do believe chance of Russia escalating into EU isn’t big, but it’s not a logical creature, it won’t calculate its chances.

      Would Poland let russian army cross their territory?

      What a bizarre question. No one is suggesting Russia would start shelling Berlin. Germany is in NATO. If any of the NATO countries are under attack Germany will have to choose between sending troops to help or abandon their allies. Is Germany ready to send their troops to war?

        The title of the post is about the threat of Russia toward Germany. How can you read it not as a threat of war in the actual context?

        Also, as far as I know, Germany participate with both troops and money in NATO’s wars. I am quite sure they would try diplomatic solutions to avoid a war on their ground, but yes, they are likely to send troops to war if NATO is attacked. Only USA have shown they are likely to betray allies.

          The direct threat is sabotage, cyberattacks and long range strikes, not Russian tanks attacking across Poland.

          Germany has to be prepared for that and for facing Russian troops in battle in different parts of Europe.

              I think, given that in recent military exercises Ukraine was absolutely crushing NATO members and based on what I heard from active soldiers, that European countries are vastly unprepared for modern conflict. They still didn’t manage to implement any lessons from the war in Ukraine and will need years to do it. Russia knows this and is escalating their threats constantly. A lot of resources and dedicated leadership is needed if we want to prevent war spilling into EU.

                I think Europe has began to accept that USA was no longer an ally. The main threat is both USA and Russia pushing for far right parties. Hopefully Europe can resist this pressure.

                I would suggest you avoid reading too much Trump’s propaganda, if you want to keep your mind clear.
