Germany's supreme soldier is convinced that Russia is preparing for a great war. Even after a possible ceasefire in Ukraine, Germany has no time “to take a deep breath”, says the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr, Carsten Breuer. Russia continues to upgrade and has doubled the number of soldiers compared to pre-war times. The Russian military structure is clearly against the West. Therefore, an end to the war on Ukraine will not lead to “we have peace again on the European continent,” he said in the talk show “Maischberger” recently.
This coincides with the assessment of Jörg Schmitt, the deputy head of the investigative department of the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Together with colleagues from WDR and NDR, he was able to evaluate the situation analyses of the BND and the Bundeswehr. By the end of the decade, Russia could create the conditions for a large-scale conventional war against NATO, regardless of the war in Ukraine.
According to these sources, Moscow could try to test the Nato with various scenarios, says Schmitt. For example, by provocations in the Baltic region or in the Arctic. Vladimir Putin is concerned with exploring the US's responsiveness and assistanceUSA.
This quote from the article is interesting
Daniel Zeichner, the farming and fisheries minister, said that EU countries were “clearly pushing very hard” for greater access to UK waters.
His remarks came after the EU demanded that Britain cave to its demands on fishing in return for a new deal on defence cooperation.
My motive is to analyse our adversaries. I am European, and I am a fervent believer in a united Europe, and anybody who is trying to break us apart is my enemy.

I'm trying to analyse our adversaries. Dugin says China must be dismantled aswell as he believes they are a grave geopolitical threat to Russia.
But we have to deal with them. They are a superpower, a rival to the USA. I'm not saying we should believe what they say, but analyse why they are saying it. We cannot just ignore them as Europeans.
Yep, so what's their motive in publishing this?
In 'The Foundation Of Geopolitcs' by Aleksandr Dugin, he says
The People's Republic of China, which represents an extreme geopolitical danger as an ideological enemy to the independent Russian Federation, "must, to the maximum degree possible, be dismantled".

The Ukraine war has forged a relationship between russia and china that the USA wants an end to.
Just trying to understand what's going on and Europe's geopolitical maneuvers.
I've read on a few websites specializing in geopolitics that the trump administration is attempting something called a 'reverse nixon', to try and drive russia and china apart. Is this a factor in the EU trying to form a closer relationship with china?
dual-use?
Says it in the last paragraph, financial pressures & not having your own home.
