Ben Norton – MR Online Nov 26, 2022
Germany’s top newspaper Der Spiegel obtained a leaked confidential strategy paper that reveals the country’s military is preparing for a potential war with Russia.
The German military, the Bundeswehr, released the secret 68-page document internally in September.
The Bundeswehr chief, Inspector General Eberhard Zorn, warned that Germany could be attacked, and he proposed plans for a future armed conflict with Russia.
—
The report claims that Germany faces “existential” threats.
The document opens stating, “War in Europe is a reality again.” It predicts that the most likely scenario would be a conflict with Russia on NATO’s eastern flank.
Der Spiegel noted that the strategy paper stresses the need for “deterrence.”
In the past few decades, the German military has focused on small, specialized units, but this report says the armed forces will now prioritize training large units that are always ready for war.
The document reaffirms the Bundeswehr’s commitment to the U.S.-led NATO cartel, but also makes it clear that Berlin is beginning to consider its own strategic autonomy independent of Washington.
Der Spiegel summarized the document as an outline for a “mega-reform” of the armed forces.
The Germany newspaper has not translated the article into English, and the striking report got almost no coverage in the English-language press.
Germany plans to become world’s third-biggest military spender
As a member of NATO and the de facto leader of the European Union, Germany has played a significant role in the Western proxy war on Russia that began in 2014, when a U.S.-sponsored coup d’etat violently overthrew Ukraine’s democratically elected neutral government and installed a staunchly anti-Russian, pro-Western regime.
This U.S.-backed putsch set off a civil war in Ukraine. In an attempt to end the violence, Germany and France helped Ukraine negotiate the Minsk II accord with Russia in 2015. Berlin was supposed to guarantee that Kiev implemented the agreement, but Ukraine refused to do so—and Washington discouraged it from meeting its political obligations.
Germany and France were generally seen as less hawkish against Russia than the United States. But when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the situation changed completely.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described the escalation of the proxy war as a “turning point” for Europe. His government promptly embarked on the first substantial re-militarization of the country since the end of the first cold war.
Scholz announced his administration would create a €100 billion “special defense fund,” in addition to the ballooning German military budget of €50 billion per year.
In June, Germany’s parliament, the Bundestag, approved this special fund.
Reuters reported that Germany plans to devote at least 2% of its GDP to military expenditure,
making it the world’s third-biggest military spender behind the United States and China.
Germany’s military budget is expected to grow to nearly €60 billion by 2023, more than €70 billion by 2024, and eventually €80 billion by 2030.
German military expands its role in NATO
With the proxy war in Ukraine heating up, Germany is also playing a more active role in NATO.
The New York Times reported in June that the U.S. military is using bases in Germany to train Ukrainian troops, and Germany became home to a coalition cell of Western militaries planning the proxy war on Russia:
Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in February, the [US] Army’s 10th Special Forces Group, which before the war had been training Ukrainian commandos at a base in the country’s west, quietly established a coalition planning cell in Germany to coordinate military assistance to Ukrainian commandos and other Ukrainian troops. The cell has now grown to 20 nations.
In September, Germany sent more troops to a permanent NATO deployment in Lithuania, a former member of the Soviet Union that is close to the border with Russia.
In October, Berlin initiated a NATO military exercise in Lithuania which will involve roughly 5,000 German troops.
With over 200 troops and 50 vehicles deployed in #Lithuania 🇱🇹, the new German enhanced Vigilance Brigade🇩🇪 will play a significant part in defending every inch of #NATO territory

Germany remilitarizes with €100 billion ‘special budget’
The re-militarization of Germany is bipartisan, and has the support of both the current centrist, social-democratic government as well as the right-wing opposition.
German state media outlet DW explained in June:
the government has joined forces with the main opposition parties to change the constitution and allow €100 billion ($107 billion) in additional debt to upgrade the military–an unprecedented occurrence in the history of the Federal Republic.
It comes on top of this year’s record defense budget of €50.4 billion and will be spent over the next five years.
DW noted that this military spending is in addition to the billions of euros worth of support that Germany has provided to Ukraine in the proxy war with Russia.
The only major political party that opposes the re-militarization of Germany is the socialist Die Linke (Left Party). DW reported:
The Left Party in Germany is the country’s only major political camp to fundamentally reject the Bundeswehr’s additional funding. It calls the special fund a “cornerstone for permanent militarization” in Germany.
“The purchase of nuclear bombers like the F-35, new tank systems, and armed drones is sending the stock prices and profits of the major arms makers soaring,” says Sevim Dagdalen, spokeswoman for international politics of the Left Party’s parliamentary group.
Meanwhile, she says, poverty is on the rise in Germany.
According to DW, €41 billion of this special fund will go to the Bundeswehr’s air force, which plans to buy CH-47F Chinook helicopters from the U.S. corporation Boeing and F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin, as well as the Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft from pan-European company Airbus.
Germany has already ordered Heron TP armed drones from Israel.
The Bundeswehr’s navy will receive €19 billion to modernize its forces with U12 submarines and other combat boats.
The Bundeswehr’s ground forces were designated €17 billion to buy armored personnel carriers and more combat vehicles, including potentially tanks.
Germany currently has troops in Mali, as part of a United Nations mission in western Africa, although Berlin has claimed it will withdraw them by 2024.
What the average German wants and needs is irrelevant to the treacherous scum who misrule the country on behalf of the US and Israel. Even when their gas life line from Russia is destroyed by the Americans and British they still go along with the suicidal policies dictated by Washington. Germany has been a puppet state since 1945 and its controllers are happy to squander all its blood and treasure to achieve the aims of the ‘one-worlders’. In the meantime, the German people are being destroyed through unlimited Third World immigration.
In a month’s time, I’ll have some Qatari football stadiums to sell you.

That “General” belongs in a loony bin!
Russia was selling Germany cheap gas and would do so again if it could. It wasn’t Russia which blew the pipeline or de-industrialised Germany.
Germany’s enemy is far to the west not the east. The people know it and say so. The politicians know it too but daren’t say so and would rather go to war with Russia than their real enemy. Most countries survive its idiots but Germany’s leaders must be traitors because nobody can be that harmful unless they mean to be.
Psst. It’s against the US
I would need much more than Ben Norton’s say-so here. This piece reads like Jewish fantasy. Another ‘keep Germany down’ provocation?
brian boru has already said what I was going to say
Germany has obviously forgotten its past experience with Russia. Germany will never match the power of Russia. To purchase for example the F-35 clearly shows that they don’t know reality. The F-35 is a turkey of an aircraft. It just cannot compete with the SU aircraft of modern-day Russia.
It’s not long ago that the Bundeswehr were the laughing stock of NATO for having to parade with broomsti ks because there were insufficient real rifles to go around. Believe it was something to do with the female defence minister at the time.
Nato’s armouries and ammunition reserves will need boosting to replace what The Ukraine has managed to sell on the black market.
Good profits if that’s the business you are in, otherwise keep on paying those taxes sheeple!
Looks like ZOGUK is going for a trifecta….
and setting up Germany to be destroyed for the THIRD time
This is good news..
Germany can go to Artic and Argentina and dust off those WW2 weapons they have stored there., mostly those devices that got rid of 6 Million bipedal hook- nosed parasites.
You know..those masturbation machines…mobile gas chambers…diamond detectors in feces….
Maybe this time the job will be finished !
I have just two thing to say, Brian Boru above is exactly right with his comment. 2) one would think that after a war was planned and executed by the U.S. and British bankers in the 1930’s right in the face of Hitler’s repeated requests for peace, resulting in total destruction of Germany, that the nearest thing in a German’s heart would be to kick out all these treacherous foreign troops. But no, the occupying snakes who insist on prisoning 94 year old Women, have completely squashed German liberation.
“The report claims that Germany faces “existential” threats.” … Germany certainly does face “existential threats” but not from Russia.
The existential threats are the degradation and destruction and moral bankruptcy wrought by organized Jewry, the outright looting of the citizens and fiscal bankruptcy of the nation by Jew-controlled “central banks”, the degradation and destruction wrought by the waves of less-than-worthless niggers, dune coons, and street shitters invading the country, and the treachery and treason of the criminal cartel masquerading as legitimate government.
Then there are the rigged electoral processes, the stranglehold on the media narrative by demonic Jews, the criminally corrupt jewdicial systems, edjewcational systems subverted and viciously warped by satanic Jews and deranged leftists, the toxic cancer and enemy of truth and freedom that is political correctness, the false flag attacks on their own citizens, the vicious war on humanity by the predator class that has been the covid-1984 war, and on and on.
NONE of the above has been at the hands of Russia, unless considering they didn’t take affirmative action to annihilate Jewry after the Jew atrocities upon Russia during the entire 20th century.
It’s not just Germany, as practically ALL white Western nations have been facing the exact same “existential threats” from the exact same enemies.
I do not know whether any German will read this or, if he/she does it will make a difference. I am a great admirer of Germans in general. I know something about your language, your culture, your technology, your music and other stuff. You really are an example of advanced humanity. Yeah, I’m expecting contrary views along the lines of “So what about Hitler?” I can answer those very easily. What concerns me about Germans today is that they have bought into the “Bad German” myth and that to be “Good Guys” they need to support NATO and the like. What I would say to Germans is go back to your Germanic roots and, maybe, take a leaf out of Grandma Ursula’s book.
The entire idea is absurd on the face of it seeing how any war involving Germany and Russia will also auto-include NATO-U.S. whether by treaty, proxy or deception.
But I repeat myself..
The failing MASONIC globalistic shit show, that is currently running the world, due to the white peoples socially conditioned “head up their asses” dormancy, is extremely fragile and needs only exposure and wide discussion to fall flat in failure.
The ONLY thing white people needs to do, is to pull their heads out and organize in non hierarchy networks.
The “legal” system is a complete fraud and needs only exposure to fail. It is nothing more then a gigantic harvesting apparatus of stupid people. Understand trust law and you will break their spell immediately.
The ONLY law that matters, is; DO NO HARM -very simple indeed, however, too simple for the utterly stupid masses to get, as they have been conditioned to think it has to be a out of reach complicated system, that owns them all.
Germany will get their rears kicked again.
What a disappointment during my time in Germany to see how the German men have been so severely pussified. All they want to do is screw non-western women and live in a cool apartment on the hip side of town. They hate themselves and their history.
An utter disgrace to their warrior legacy.
This is going to be pitiful.
Was Field Marshall Von Paulus advising the German Government ???
This just proves the NUKES don’t exist. It makes no logical sense. Other than another Cull of Whitey. By 🐍🕋🔯👹♋🏁👃
I’ve said for years these 3rd🌍 mudsharks put up in hotels will be a Cheka or cannon fodder?
More Bla Bla Bla from the Germans. They lost all wars in the 20th century and they’ll lose against Russia today. Russia has made no moves against Germany or Nato. If war breaks out it will be be because of dumbsh*t western governments. The Western woke idiots dream of getting Russia’s natural resources.
Many comments here of common sense, especially in regard to the apparent
lack of previous historical events, that have brought the public in Germany to the gormless naive state they seem to be in right now.
‘Umbra’ summed it up in a few short words.
“The strangle hold on the media narrative by demonic chews” Ooops typo error !
It would seem Germans, are just as pacified & ignorant of reality & who’s behind all this turmoil, as are many in the UK, USA, Canada, OZ & NZ etc etc.
Media narratives, willingly enforced by the various so called police forces,,,,
There’s the problem.
By eliminating our energy supplies, armies, the traitorous opposition is prepping the West for destruction via electronic currencies and outside powers, in this case China.
The Kharzarian Mafiya (KM) is at it again. They would like to finish the job that they were unable to accomplish during and after WWII with their Morgenthau Plan.
ZIO/USA/UK is germanys + europas enemy since 1945 !

Glenn Ashton–the German mind was hugely abused after WW2 to hate the German people, with hundreds of hours of “Holocaust education” for each child. They no longer know they are good and have a right to a future. They would have to re-learn
