Germany should prepare for a direct confrontation with Russia in five years, the commander of the Bundeswehr’s regional command in Hamburg, Michael Giss, told Welt.
Michael Giss pointed to his “internal clock as a soldier” that tells me that in five years’ time the FRG should be “sufficiently stable socially”.
“My internal clock as a soldier is ticking and tells me that in five years’ time we should be socially stable enough to withstand an external military threat,” was his response to a question about a possible conflict with Russia.
Giss added that the whole of Germany should be ready for war, as it is an important task for politics, the Bundeswehr, business and society in the broadest sense.
We shall remind you that earlier deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev proposed a Russian version of the “peace formula” in Ukraine. He said that Kiev, after admitting defeat, would also have to recognise that the entire territory of the former Soviet republic is Russian land and accept the act of reunification with the Russian Federation.
