Pre-planned logistical routes could help stave off a potential Russian attack
How US troops could be sent to front line in European ground war with Russia
In the event of a Russian invasion of Nato, US troops would be shipped to the port of Rotterdam before being transported eastward.
But arrangements are also being made behind the scenes to expand the routes to other ports to ensure the ground line of communications cannot be severed by Moscow’s forces.
An der Verlässlichkeit der USA als NATO-Partner bestehen seit einer Trump-Rede große Zweifel. SPD-Europakandidatin Barley hat deshalb EU-eigene Atombomben ins Spiel gebracht. Brandgefährlich sei das, kritisiert ein Parteigenosse.
(Own report) -Germany and France are seeking greater “European sovereignty” and aim to “strengthen the EU as a geopolitical actor,” according to a Franco-German declaration published yesterday in Paris on the occasion of the ceremonies marking the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Élysée Treaty. The declaration provides military support for Ukraine “for as long as it takes,” announces new armament projects, and a Franco-German exercise in the “Indo-Pacific.” This is also due to Germany's severe setbacks in its rivalry with the Unites States, including its growing military dependence and the threat of its deindustrialization due to the exodus of production sites to the USA. According to the French publicist Emmanuel Todd, the current global power struggle – “the third world war has begun” – is also “about Germany.” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz anticipates the emergence of a “multipolar world,” in which Germany and the EU are to assume leading roles as strong military powers.
Defence Ministers from 14 NATO Allies* and Finland came together in Brussels on Thursday (13 October 2022) to sign a Letter of Intent for the development of a “European Sky Shield Initiative”. Spearheaded by Germany, the initiative aims to create a European air and missile defence system through the common acquisition of air defence equipment and missiles by European nations. This will strengthen NATO’s Integrated Air and Missile Defence.
Danmark är medlem av Nato, men deltar inte i EU:s försvarssamarbete eftersom det är omfattat av ett av Danmarks undantag i EU-samarbetet. Partierna som står bakom försvarsavtalet är dessutom eniga om att vilja ta bort detta undantag. Danmark deltar idag inte i EU:s militära operationer, varken med pengar eller resurser och har inte rösträtt i Ministerrådet gällande försvarspolitiken på grund av detta undantag. Om undantaget ska bort måste det dock först till en folkomröstning. Detta ska ske den 1 juni 2022.
