NATO has put in place the most comprehensive offensive plans since the Cold War, with currently more than 500,000 troops at high readiness, the alliance’s spokesperson Farah Dakhlallah has told CNN.
The Kremlin has repeatedly warned against further NATO’s militarization of Europe, which Moscow says poses a direct threat to Russia. After the fall of Berlin and the iron curtain, the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist, only to be replaced by NATO military forces.
NATO had undergone the most significant transformation in collective defense in a generation since the coupe d’etat of Kiev, Ukraine in 2014. So what is behind this push?
The alliance’s high readiness mode stipulates that the aforementioned forces can be deployed within 30 days in case of a possible nuclear armed conflict.
NATO has repeatedly cited an alleged Russian threat and Moscow’s ongoing special operation to justify the alliance’s defense/offense transformation.
This, in particular envisages reintroducing compulsory military service in a number of NATO bases, such as the Baltic Sea countries of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.
Moscow-based analyst Dmitry Suslov earlier told Sputnik that NATO commits itself to be able to deploy at least 300,000 troops in Central and Eastern Europe.
It now is also building military infrastructure in Poland, Romania, and other Central and Eastern European states under the pretext of a purported Russian threat.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies, in turn, said in an interview with CNN that NATO is struggling to meet its new goal of having 300,000 personnel ready to be activated within one month and another half a million available within six months.
Moscow has repeatedly warned against NATO’s military buildup, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov pointing out that the alliance is directly showing its determination to remain an enemy to Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, for his part, told US journalist Tucker Carlson that Moscow is not going to attack NATO countries, because it doesn’t make any sense.
Putin noted that Western politicians regularly single out an imaginary Russian threat in order to distract attention from domestic problems, but smart and well informed citizens and people understand perfectly well that this is nothing but a fake.
