With all the talk of Germany rearming itself in order to either protect itself from its imagined threat from Russia or to go on a militaristic campaign against Russia. Seems as if Germany has failed to learn from its past as it was Russia not the American who first defeated them in the year of 1945 effectively dismantling the Nazi regime. For decades after, Germany has suffered from a sort of guilt trip due to their Nazi past and kept their military spending less than 2% for decades. But if you Fast forward to today, Germany is seeking to rearm themselves by the seemingly forced injection of roughly hundreds of billions of dollars.

Even though Russia poses no threat to Germany as Germany sits at least three countries away from the border of Russia, besides distance Germany has other challenges that will stifle its ability to wage any kind of war towards Russia. The first hurdle Germany faces is that they don’t have enough military personnel to mobilize any kind of offensive towards Russia. Looking at the sheer numbers of military personnel, Germany doesn’t even come close. While Germany has approximately 181,600. In contrast, Russia has an estimated 1,320,000 military personnel within its ranks. This doesn’t include the reserves and conscripts of either country. Either way in this respect, Germany is not only outnumbered but exponentially gunned.

In recent developments, Russian president Vladimir Putin has been advised by Russian authorities to prepare for a direct hot war and begin to consider preemptive solutions with NATO. This is because not only Germany but other NATO countries such as the United Kingdom and Poland are currently beefing up their militaries. Poland, which is located directly at the border of western Belarus, is the secondary red line for Russia. This is important to take notice of because Germany has just deployed an armored brigade to Lithuania; again, right on the north western door steps of Belarus. This would be Germany’s first military deployment since World War 2. Adding insult to injury, America and Finland are also currently executing war games in the arctic.

Our prediction here at VEDA Communication is that Germany will most likely be the spark that causes Russia to trigger a response. Hence, if Russia is triggered to respond, article 5 of the Geneva Convention will be activated and by default bring other NATO countries into a hot war with Russia. If that occurs, that would prompt China, North Korea, Iran, Belarus, and other militia groups to activate and enter the war. This is why it's important for Germany to not only slow down but to stop all aggressive postures toward Russia.

Backing our prediction is that as of right now German is currently shipping long-range (500 km/300 mi) Taurus Missiles to Ukraine. The German Taurus Missiles will allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory should Ukraine use these weapons.
