Sputnik: NATO Claims It Can Deploy 3.5Mln Soldiers If Attacked
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - NATO, in accordance with its new defense plans, can deploy 300,000 soldiers in the first month of a potential attack on the bloc, while the total number of the alliance’s military personnel could reach 3.5 million people, Chair of the NATO Military Committee Adm. Rob Bauer said on Saturday.
"If we are talking about collective defense, you do not have the time to prepare for an attack if the attack happens. And it is not us planning the attack, it is the opponent planning the attack. If they attack, you have to be ready. Therefore, we need more soldiers at high readiness … We are talking, in NATO as a whole if Finland and Sweden have joined, of about 3.5 million soldiers in the alliance.

WNU Editor: A NATO - Russia war will quickly lead to a nuclear conflict.
3,500,000 soldiers? LOL They going to do a magic act and pull them outta their arse? Truth is, most of those soldiers would come from eastern European countries, where they still remember what being under the boot heel of Russia is like.
ReplyDeleteYep, and they re always screaming they do not have enough weapons or production capability. Sounds like a losing team to me.

ReplyDeleteI think that the number of desertions would be off the charts for NATO.
ReplyDelete3.5 million soldiers are not needed for Russia. It has already been shredded.
ReplyDeleteRussian Navy fled Sevastopol, Novorossiysk is not too far away for NATO to his in an opening salvo. Point is that in the first hour of the war, sooner actually, the Russian Navy would cease to exist.
The Kola Peninsula and Kaliningrad would not be much better off.
About the nukes. We have been threatened by them for 75 years. Sometimes people just get tied of being threatened and preemptively lash out.
