Germany warns Russia may be preparing attack on NATO
ukdefencejournal.org.uk
German security officials believe the Kremlin is laying the groundwork for a potential large-scale conventional war with NATO by the end of the decade.

German media outlets Süddeutsche Zeitung, WDR, and NDR also cite the report, noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin appears intent on testing NATO’s Article 5 guarantees. The alliance’s mutual defence clause obliges member states to come to one another’s aid if attacked. The assessment suggests Putin may seek to challenge how seriously that commitment would be honoured.

    First… I’m not reading all that, but are you aware that there are 2 congressional districts up for re-election this week to replace members who accepted cabinet positions (e.g. Mike Waltz). They were +20 red districts, both of them. Now they are competitive. Trump has also withdrawn his appointee for UN ambassador because of fears they would lose her seat (also a very secure Red win previously).

    It’s not November anymore, and there’s been a torrent of things to change people’s minds in the meantime.

      So… seeing as I wasn’t actually talking to you, beginning like that I’d like to know how the fuck you actually thought you’d get any message across beginning like that.

      A good chunk of the post had absolutely nothing to do about the red/blue states or voting so go off I guess.

      However

      And how did that work out? Oh. People still voted Red? Double digit victories? I’m shocked I tell you. shocked.
