Summary

Denmark’s Defense Intelligence Service warns that Russia could launch a large-scale war in Europe within five years if NATO appears weak or divided, especially if the U.S. does not intervene.

The report outlines a timeline where Russia could attack a neighboring country within six months, escalate to a regional Baltic conflict in two years, and potentially engage NATO-wide by 2029.

The assessment comes as Trump pressures NATO members to increase defense spending and has suggested the U.S. might not defend allies who fail to meet financial commitments.

    Putin has already completed his demographic suicide. There are no men left to fight, or have children. They can build as many tanks and guns as they want, but there won’t be anyone to operate them.

      Yeah this is wishful thinking. This is the kind of thinking that has involved people failing in Russia for the last few hundred years. You don’t Outlast Russia in a game of numbers. That don’t work. Russia will happily go Toe to Toe with you and lose four times as many men. Not a problem for them. Never has been never will be.

      I want to believe putin would find it difficult to maintain a war time economy without a war going on.

      He still has half the voters in the US sucking his dick.

      Republicans could be made to contort their minds to accept anything, even that Russia is our new ally and we’re sending them aid to fight communism or something.

      They’ll cheer

      agree. but there’s still plenty of capability of “erasing the decadent homosexual west”

      going out with a blaze of glory is all russia has left. They spent themselves in Ukraine, and any move further into Europe, with NATO panicking over America being basically regulatory captured by Russia and Fascist sycophants, will likely result in an immediate nuclear response.
