Berlin (dpa) - Russia intends to test Western unity, especially with regard to NATO's collective defence clause, according to Bruno Kahl, the head of Germany's BND intelligence service. In an interview with Deutsche Welle broadcaster, he said Russia was considering testing the reliability of NATO's Article 5, which states that an attack on one ally must be treated as an attack on all. .... "It is also possible that a concrete threat or blackmail attempt from Russia against Europeans could occur earlier than previously calculated," Kahl said.

China is where the action is and the defense buildup is headed in that direction in the end. Russia is much more weaker than the drama lays on.
China, China, China is the enemy regardless.
I don’t put too much stock in Yahoo News but ...
Don’t try it Russia.
If Zelenskyy had signed the deal on March 1, we’d probably have a cease fire in Ukraine by now.
German “Intelligence” is bound and determined that a new World War start. They are going to lie to advance that conflict.
“Believe us, we intelligence services have never lied before! Oh what’s that, German citizen?! You oppose muslim immigration!? To the re-education camps with you!”
Using the word Germany and the word intelligence together is an oxymoron.
The story is originally in Deutsche Welle (DW).
Like the German BBC.
Is he some bigshot in the Afd?
No, the NSDAP
Article 5 does not require the use of military force
Thanks! I was a bit confused there.
heh
” The German BND (Foreign Intelligence Service) says Russia is very likely to start what amounts to 4G warfare vs Euro NATO countries. To try to mess with Article 5 invocation.”
Sounds like these guys think there will be an “incident” which will seem like justification for an Article 5 against Russia.
Now I wonder how the BND could know that in advance ?

How many times has US Intelligence misled and lied to the American People and indirectly to the rest of the world ??
I am highly skeptical of any so-called Intelligence Agency, believing they are pushing some type of narrative meant to push the public into supporting a war regardless of the cost and destruction.
The first Nazi intelligence officer hired by the CIA was Reinhard Gehlen, aka "Hitler's Super Spy." Gehlen was given free rein by the CIA to build his own organization of spies. They even ignored his hiring of SS, SA and former German Policemen although they had originally banned him from doing so. Gehlen's Organization as it was known, became so discombobulated that Gehlen himself didn't know down through the pipeline who was hiring who. When it became embarrassingly obvious that the majority of the so-called intelligence that got back to the CIA, turned out to be made-up stories, rumors, and gossip, that the CIA ended Gehlen's program in the U.S., transferring Gehlen's Organization to the supervision of the Federal Republic of Germany under Konrad Adenauer in 1956.
Gehlen's Organization became the nucleus of the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND, Federal Intelligence Service), and Gehlen became the President of the BND, serving until 1968. He was forced to retire when it was discovered there was a Russian mole working in the BND...Heinz Felfe, a former SS lieutenant. It was a big embarrassment for Konrad Adenauer.
A Russian invasion that was to take days stretched into months. Then months into years. And Ukraine still exists. Russia is a paper tiger and an attack on a NATO country would indeed be the introduction to World War III and the demise of Russia. And likely the demise of European civilization (of which Russia has never really taken part).
German intelligence…. Probably of the same mindset as the cia, “we need a war”.
When don’t they?
“German “Intelligence” is bound and determined that a new World War start. They are going to lie to advance that conflict.”
There’s one damn good reason why Russia will never ‘test’ Article 5, and if the German ‘intelligence’ cannot figure it out, then Germany needs to try harder to find ‘intelligent’ people.
