The continued military buildup by Russia raises concerns. Moscow is not only replenishing its arsenals but also moving new artillery units to NATO borders
This was stated by Vice Admiral Peter Reesink, director of the Dutch military intelligence agency (MIVD), in an interview with Politico.
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Russia’s defense spending reached about $149 billion in 2024, a 38% increase compared to 2023 and double the amount from 2015.
“Russia is producing much more artillery, also with help from other countries, than they need for the war with Ukraine,” Riesink said.
He also noted that Russia is moving artillery to the borders with the Baltic States and Finland.
“That’s an indication for us that they are building up capabilities,” the intelligence officer said.
In his opinion, as soon as a settlement is reached with Ukraine, Russia could be ready for a new conflict within a year, provided its military production remains unchanged.
“The Netherlands, like the rest of NATO countries, is in a phase of enhanced readiness program to make sure that we’re ready if that occurs,” Reesink said.
He also mentioned that most ministries in the country are facing budget cuts, except for the defense ministry. The intelligence officer emphasized that the country must prepare for a possible attack.
“We were a little bit reluctant over the past 20, 30 years, I must admit, but now that awareness is back again,” Reesink concluded.
- In March, Finnish intelligence suggested that Russia might attack the country once the war in Ukraine is over.
More food for the dummies. Russia is producing more weapons because your “government” is threatening it and the entire world with WW3. Like good little jews.
I asked one dummy the other day who russia has attacked. This dummy said “they’re trying to take over the world”. I asked why the frontline of the war is right along the edge of the places they said they were going to take from the very beginning. The dummy said “because the brave soldiers are holding them back”. I asked why the people inside the bits held by russia aren’t fighting back or posting “help us” all over the internet. The dummy said “because putin’s murdered them all.” This went on for half an hour or more. There’s no point talking to idiots.
Oh dear…
as if Starmer parading around with his new bestie ‘Le Midget’ wasnt bad enough…
we now have the pipsqueak Dutch Doofus’es getting in on the act and puffing-out their chests… 🙄
It’s like (not that I would know) being in Bedlam, and funny, this is the War Museum in London today.
The elephant in the fecking room. If these Nazi Cv^ts weren’t on. Russians borders, this wouldn’t be happening.
Everything the Nazis are doing, is a prelude to war, and forget what Donald Hitler says, because he was war mongering the UKrainian conflict during his first term.
The City Crime Cartels wants Russian resources control, and so does Donald Hitler (UKrainian rare Earth’s). So all this chat about peace, is utter bullshit.
Looks to me, like Putin the Weak is being taken on a tour of Hamelin.
If I had a bunch of pansies on my border that lie like nato Id get ready too as nato are back shooters. that wage wars on smaller nations wth smaller defense forces. Libya, Serbia, Yugoslavia… etc.
Observing Todays USA/NATOmilitary could not pull off a successful panty raid in a whore house in Bangkok on a Saturday night with their pockets stuffed with one hundred dollar bills!
@Dan
Sounds like you were trying to “get through” to a THICK Brit…. or perhaps a DUMB Yank… though my money would defintely be on the former.. 🤔
Regardless, dont even bother trying to educate since both those specimens fck’tardism will resent you – the TB in particular! – for the rest of their lives for exposing their ignorance… 🙄
The Russians know perfectly well that a desperate and increasingly crazed UK/EU will eventually attack Russia/Belarus. The Russians don’t intend to be caught out the way they were in 1941. This time they mean to be ready.
why is russia not sending an aid + rescueship for the
palestinian people and have let all efforts to turkish ships (in vain) ?
is it because Putin is Golem of the jews + loves Chabad + jerusalem ?
shame on Tartus retreat 1
