If there is going to be peace, why are we witnessing the largest military buildup in Europe since the end of the Cold War? When it comes to the major players on the geopolitical stage, it is far more important to watch what they do than it is to listen to what they say. And right now the actions that the major European powers are taking are telling us that they are preparing for a huge war with Russia.
Ukraine was supposed to be the final piece of the puzzle for the European Union.
It is an enormous chunk of territory, and it is absolutely teeming with natural resources.
For most European leaders, it is unthinkable that Ukraine could be allowed to fall back into Russian hands, but at the moment more Ukrainian territory is being taken by the Russians with each passing day.
In fact, it is being reported that the city of Seversk has just fallen…
Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, said that the “Southern” group of troops had taken control of the city of Seversk in the DPR.
“The city of Seversk has been liberated,” Gerasimov said during a report to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Apparently the British already have at least some soldiers in Ukraine, because one of them just died…
The British soldier who died in Ukraine on Tuesday has been named as L/Cpl George Hooley, 28, of the Parachute regiment.
Keir Starmer told the Commons on Wednesday that Hooley had died in a “tragic accident” away from the frontlines while watching a test of “a new defensive capability” with members of the Ukrainian military.
“His life was full of courage and determination,” Starmer said. “He served our country with honour and distinction around the world in the cause of freedom and democracy, including as part of the small number of British personnel in Ukraine.” Did you notice that Starmer was purposely vague about how many British troops are in Ukraine?
Is it 100?
Is it 1,000?
Is it 10,000?
We would like to know.
Meanwhile, we are being told that plans are in the works to significantly expand the size of the French army…
France will this week become the latest EU country to set out plans to expand its army, with Emmanuel Macron expected to announce on Thursday that military service will be restored – albeit on a voluntary basis – nearly 30 years after the end of conscription.
In the face of Russia’s military threat and uncertainty over the US’s commitment to defending its transatlantic allies, Europe is rushing to bolster its defence industry and its deployment capability after radically cutting them back since the cold war.
French hospitals have been told to prepare a potential armed conflict in Europe by next year, local media reported.
In a letter sent to regional health agencies, revealed by Le Canard Enchaîné , the Ministry of Health asked hospitals to prepare for a “major (military) engagement” by March 2026.
The newspaper warned that between 10,000 and 50,000 men could be expected in hospitals over a period of 10 to 180 days. Something doesn’t add up.
We are being told one thing, but plans are being made for something else to happen instead.
Other European nations are also making plans for large scale military conflict…
Denmark’s conscription system was extended to women and lengthened to 11 months from four in June. Estonia has universal male conscription, while Latvia and Lithuania, like Denmark, select conscripts by lottery if there are not enough volunteers.
Elsewhere, Croatia, which abolished mandatory military service 17 years ago, recently restored conscription, while Poland is working on a plan to prepare large-scale military training for every adult male in an effort to double the size of its army. Is it just a coincidence that all of these countries are suddenly makes these moves in unison?
In Germany, military spending is about to go soaring into uncharted territory…
At a moment the Russia-Ukraine war grinds on, and as Trump-led efforts to find peace have been frustrated – largely as Zelensky and his backers have balked at agreeing to any territorial compromise as the bases of a deal – Germany is busy transforming its military with an aim to boost Bundeswehr numbers and meet NATO targets.
That news dominated headlines last week, but added to this Bloombergis newly reporting Tuesday that the troop expansion will coincide with a major tech and armament expansion, given lawmakers are expected to approve a record €52 billion (about $61 billion) in military procurement contracts next week.
This will mark the largest single-year investment in defense equipment in the country’s history, underscoring Berlin’s renewed push to modernize its armed forces amid the growing European standoff with Russia.
As for 2025 numbers, prior approvals brought total defense commitments for this year to above €33 billion. So next year’s could more than double, based on the new projected figures. If there is going to be peace with Russia, this level of military spending makes no sense at all.
But if there is going to be war with Russia, this level of military spending is easily explained..............

"Trump says Zelensky has to start ‘accepting things’: ‘He’s losing’..."
https://thehill.com/policy/international/5640054-trump-zelensky-has-to-start-accepting-things-hes-losing/
It’s how they roll.
Read 1984. It explains it.
Kill off the remaining Christians, especially in Poland.
Because they’ve put it off on the US for decades?
When they conscript only the straight white males, will there be enough pushback?
Because their Chinese masters want them to.
The country that wants war between Europe/USA and Russia is China. Their leaders views us and Russia as the two related impediments to world domination.
In particular, the Han Chinese are deeply, deeply, racist, making Nazi Germans look like amateurs in their belief in their genetic and cultural superiority.
They want all the whites dead.
The European elites are either falling for China’s trap or selling out to China.
The war would be a washing machine for cash to politicians and distraction from the absolute economic mess the European leaders have made. Example, The German government has killed their automotive manufacturers with EV’s and the importation of low cost Chinese cars.
In particular, the Han Chinese are deeply, deeply, racist, making Nazi Germans look like amateurs in their belief in their genetic and cultural superiority.

No different than the Imperial Japanese, well two atom bombs totally changed that.
If Russia can’t even defeat Ukraine, who in their right mind thinks they would fight a war against 32 countries of NATO? It is absolutely ridiculous.
The only effective preparation for what’s coming is receiving Jesus.
Everything else is an exercise in futility.
Bingo,
I suspect Europe is being maneuvered into a European war with Russia. But how much is just the naked ambition of Brussels to use a war to solidify Europe into a single state, I don’t know.
Need somebody to surrender, I guess...
Because it’s the only way the inbred Brussels tyrants can cling to power.
I think those who have opined that it is not to go after Russia yet again, but instead to keep down its own people, are onto something.
Which is what Japan wanted in WWII. They had no intention of helping the Germans after Pearl Harbor, they wanted the Europeans to beat each other up, and if the Americans get beat up as well, all the better for them.
So the leaders can say, “At least we are doing something about something.”
The Russian drone overflights of NATO countries, the internal sabotage it inflicts, and so on, have absolutely nothing to do with any European war preparations, right?
THE GREAT REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN PASSED BY THE GREAT DISTRACTION!
Self distruction by the great musscum importation.
I think both of you are correct
No way does Russia want to tangle with NATO.
The EU is beating the war drums just to distract their citizens.
