Leader of French 'Patriots' Party Urges Germany to Conflict with Russia

According to the leader of the "Patriots" party (France), Mr. Florian Philippo, such "diversionary" actions of Germany are mainly aimed at the internal affairs of the European Union, to prevent the outbreak of political and social instability.

Previously, Bild newspaper cited a document believed to be secret from the German Ministry of Defense, saying that Germany is preparing for an armed conflict between NATO and Russia. This conflict will take place according to the scenario of the German Ministry of Defense, which could begin in the summer of 2025.

According to the article, on “Day X,” NATO’s Supreme Commander will order the deployment of 300,000 troops to its eastern flank. The escalation of the conflict between NATO and Russia could begin as early as February 2024 with a heavy Russian attack on Ukrainian Armed Forces positions. This attack would likely end with the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops by June.

The most vulnerable area for a collision is the Suwalki Corridor between Belarus and Russia’s Kaliningrad region. The Suwalki Corridor lies within the area where Russia’s air defense system is located in Kaliningrad. For NATO, the Suwalki Corridor is therefore one of the most vulnerable areas in the event of a conflict between Russia and the alliance.

The scenario revealed by Bild also describes escalating actions by Russia and the West, before culminating in NATO mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops and the outbreak of conflict in the summer of 2025. However, the question of how this hypothetical escalation would end remains open.

NATO immediately called the Bild article about plans for war with Russia a "fantasy" scenario.
