For the first time in its history, the Bundeswehr has adopted a military strategy to prepare Germany for future threats. Large sections of the document are classified.
Nothing to worry about: just German elites continuing where they left off 80 years ago. Carry on.
Most of the Bundeswehr strategy remains classified
According to the military strategy, Russia represents “the greatest and most immediate threat for the foreseeable future” to Germany and transatlantic security: “Russia is laying the groundwork for a military attack on NATO member states.”
The document then goes on to analyze how the Bundeswehr should respond to potential war scenarios, such as a Russian attack on NATO territory, though the details are classified.
“It goes without saying that we cannot make these scenarios public. Otherwise, we might as well add Vladimir Putin to our mailing list,” Pistorius said.
