Germany’s Secret Plan for War With Russia
WSJ ^ | 27 Nov, 2025 | Bertrand Benoit

Posted on 11/27/2025 3:23:12 PM PST by Reverend Wright

The blueprint details how as many as 800,000 German, U.S. and other NATO troops would be ferried eastward toward the front line. It maps the ports, rivers, railways and roads they would travel, and how they would be supplied and protected on the way.

So yeah, they have the same problem.


BUT when they act up, Russia puts their boot on their necks....remember Grozny? I find it amazing that after the Chechnya Muslim uprising decades ago, Vlad was able to recruit them to spill their blood for mother Russia in Ukraine. That says a lot.

And right now Chechnya is a separate mafia state that kidnaps Slavic Christians and Russian police don’t dare enter

I’m sure there are many fine troops within the German armed forces. That said polling of military age German males not within the sphere of the armed forces show a severe unwillingness to engage and a general apathy towards service especially when it involves conflict outside of Germany. I notice you didn’t address the economics. Bottom line, the Bund is blustering.

It Should be Mother Russia.

Vladimer Putin’s role in life is to preserve the body and soul of Mother Russia. It looks like his strongest efforts are failing.

"Read the article - it is unequivocally a defensive plan by Germany."

They should build another Siegfried Line, but this time all around the country, but they're too cheap. It took them 10 years to get up to par with funding 2% of their own defense per their NATO agreement. This new plan will probably take another 10 years for them to accomplish, along with raising that 2% to 5% as NATO nations just agreed to. I say good luck with that.

By the way, they never paid back in full, the loans they got from American, French and British banks after WWI.

“They are going for Total War with Russia...”

Yep. Preparing a plan of defense. Damn nazi warmongers.

“The Wall Street Journal has revealed a secret German war plan that outlines the rapid deployment of up to 800,000 troops to the front in case of a confrontation with Russia. Officials in Berlin believe Moscow will be ready to attack NATO in 2029. “

>> "Is this a joke?" <<

Of course it's a joke!

Who exactly in Germany is going to fight this war with Russia?
Are they sending the 1.5 million Ukies back to their home country to fight for their traveling grifting dictator?
I seriously doubt they'll give up their €600+ p/P a month, free housing, free healthcare..., to go back to Zelensky's sh*thole country, that the lunitic homo dictator himself avoids at all cost for over 3 years.

You're correct, the western media has gone full clown.🤡

Yes, the polls show unwillingness and apathy. For 80 years they are told the military is evil, so what do you expect?

Only the toughest go there as there is no “thank you for your service “, rather the opposite.

As to the German economy, it’s still growing, and still #4. It will be overtaken by India soon, but it is much stronger than Russian federation

"Your points are not relevant to the article nor to your earlier statements"

LOL!! Is that so? Try taking a reading comprehension class. This is my original comment at #46 to Reverend Wright who was the poster:

"Have at it idiots. You didn't learn anything after getting your asses whupped twice before. I hear third times the charm.

Germany, a member of NATO couldn't afford to fund 2% of their GDP as they'd agreed to in 2014. It took them 10 years to reach that 2% level. And it took them almost 100 years to pay off their WWI reparations. So please Germany, go destroy yourselves a third time.

Not relevant my ass. You started this conversation, not me.

I do. Russia has Muslim people living side by side in peace in their own countries. Europe has military aged muslim male looking to rape, steal, and kill.

I’ve noticed lately that quite often the article title and the core of the article don’t gel.

So, mostly when it comes to news sources I doubt first and check.

Sadly, that seems to be the way of the world today

What are you talking about?

I’m not talking about Kazakhstan etc, but the Muslims within the Russian federation.

The Muslim dominated republics within the Russian federation still have large chunks of non Muslims.

And even in Moscow, St. Petersburg etc .

Moscow
The Muslim population in Moscow is estimated at **14%** of the city’s total residents, based on recent demographic analyses that account for both native ethnic minorities (such as Tatars) and significant migrant communities from Central Asia. This equates to approximately 1.5–2 million Muslims in a city of around 12.7 million as of 2025. Older estimates from 2015 placed it at about 12.5% (1.5 million out of 12 million), but growth due to immigration has pushed it higher, with some sources suggesting up to 20% including undocumented migrants.

Moscow’s Muslim community is the largest in Europe, supported by four major mosques and growing Eid celebrations involving tens of thousands.

Saint Petersburg

The Muslim population in Saint Petersburg is estimated at **10–15%**, or roughly 600,000–900,000 people in a city of about 5.6 million. This includes historical Tatar communities and a large influx of Central Asian migrants. Recent indicators include Eid prayers attended by over 300,000 in 2023, doubling from the previous year, signaling rapid growth. Official censuses do not track religion directly, but U.S. State Department reports describe it as a “sizable” minority, consistent with these figures from travel and demographic sources. The city’s single major mosque serves as a focal point, with projections indicating continued increase due to migration trends.

This is similar to

London 15%
Paris 13%
Berlin 10%

Why I’m saying eventually Russia will become the junior partner of the new Ottoman Empire.
