Civilians must prepare for all-out war with Russia in the next 20 years, a top Nato military official has warned.
While armed forces are primed for the outbreak of war, private citizens need to be ready for a conflict that would require wholesale change in their lives, Adml Rob Bauer said on Thursday.
Large numbers of civilians will need to be mobilised in case of the outbreak of war and governments should put in place systems to manage the process, Adml Bauer told reporters after a meeting of Nato defence chiefs in Brussels.
“We have to realise it’s not a given that we are in peace. And that’s why we [Nato forces] are preparing for a conflict with Russia.
“But the discussion is much wider. It is also the industrial base and also the people that have to understand they play a role.”
Adml Bauer, a Dutch naval officer who is chairman of Nato’s Military Committee, praised Sweden for asking all of its citizens to brace for war ahead of the country formally joining the alliance.
Stockholm’s move, announced earlier this month, has led to a surge in volunteers for the country’s civil defence organisation and a spike in sales of torches and battery-powered radios.

Seems like NATO just wants war all the time. They never shut up about warring.
We are led by a bunch of sick bastards.
Does Russia even have a population left to fight a war? Seems like there are not many Russian men still alive.
Trump is coming.
War is the only thing that offers enough public distraction from their malfeasance.
At this rate, I think they'll run out of soldiers by 2040.
I hope he gets his war - without benefit of the US being a member.
Russia seems to be having trouble with Ukraine. What are they going to do with NATO?
That’s because there won’t be a US in NATO. We weren’t there to stop the last 2 were we?
They won't invade Finland or Poland. But they might seize the Baltics.
Everyone hated Trump. But he was right. And the Americans agreed with Trump. Europe is having trouble manufacturing all the artillery shells Ukraine needs. So as a result, the Ukrainian Army is forced to ration their artillery on the front.
NATO should include that wish in their letters to Santa.
p
Start rounding up the neocons now and send them to Guantanamo until we have the resources lined up to try them formally.
In that case we won't have to kill millions of them. I don't care if they make rude comments and gestures at the Euros.
Insanity
.
How stupid do they think we are?
Global Warming will destroy everyone in Six years.
NATO will be ready !
It’s funny when someone who never served in any military and isn’t an American mocks the American military.
