Reading about this today. Seems quite plausible and means the west needs to find far more money to spend on defence.

With potential for other conflicts to escalate such as with Iran the west will need deep pockets leaving little money to fix other areas.

Will NATO hold together if Trump wins could be just the opportunity for Russia to test Europe.

Nope as they are in NATO.

Surely if anything did happen then NATO would react accordingly.

This bit of clickbait caught my eye the other day regarding Sweden.

What exactly are Russia going to attack Germany with ?
Are Poland just going to move aside and let them through ?

Why would you find it plausible that Russia would attack Germany?

Clickbait chip wrapping; it's a plan for a very unlikely event, it's good that a plan exists but its existence doesn't affect the very unlikeliness of the event it is for happening.

Bild have published something lurid about a war plan covering something not very likely. Lurid things are what Bild print, they're a tabloid newspaper.

Could you print it on silk? If I'm captured, I could pretend to blow my nose on it and put it back in my pocket.

It would be a good start if Germany actually started to spend the 2% on defence that is part of the NATO agreement rather than freeloading and expecting NATO to come to their rescue.


Edit: Your nonsense post should be one for the Conspiracy thread!

I suspect it is probably a war gaming scenario rather than an actual contingency.

Stored next to "what to do if aliens land in Bremen".

Breaking news! Our Eighth army is poised to push forward to El Alamein in a pincer movement. Watch this space.

I should imagine they are looking at scenarios, just like I would expect our military to be doing, in fact I'd be a bit annoyed to find out our boys haven't sat around wondering how best to attack France.

Load the Welsh Guards onto a Eurostar, then they can all jump out at Gare Du Nord and shout "Surprise!". hehe

If I absolutely had to attack somewhere in Europe, Germany would be high on the list. Their army will have some rather nasty broomsticks to answer with but I'd be confident I'd be able to resist them.
