German Defense Chief Says Public Must Get Used To Possibility Of ‘War In Europe’<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

Starting last month, top Ukrainian officials began pushing\u00a0an alarmist narrative<\/a>\u00a0that “world war 3 has already begun” – as the head\u00a0Ukraine\u2019s National Security and Defense Council\u00a0Aleksey Danilov had claimed in early September. The words were spoken after it became clear that Ukraine’s military was losing, and now\u00a0Time<\/em>\u00a0magazine has confirmed the military\u00a0doesn’t have the manpower<\/a>\u00a0to fight off the Russians. Naturally, Kiev must find new ways to draw in more direct support of key European powers.<\/p>\n

“If somebody thinks that World War III hasn\u2019t started then it\u2019s a huge mistake.\u00a0It has already begun<\/strong>. It had been underway in a hybrid period for some time and has now entered an active phase,” Danilov\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0before the Kiev Security Forum at the time (early Sept). More than a month later, some European leaders have begun to echo the same warning.<\/p>\n

Significantly, this week Germany Defense Minister\u00a0Boris Pistorius said in a media interview that German residents\u00a0must start getting used to the idea of the specter of war in Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“We have to get used to the idea that there may be a threat of war in Europe,”<\/strong>\u00a0he\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0in the national broadcast interview. “Germany must be able to defend itself. We must be prepared for war<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

He was responding to questions related to Germany being slow to rearmament itself in the wake of the Russian war in Ukraine, and now with the prospect of the Gaza-Israel conflict spilling over into broader\u00a0Mideast regional war<\/a>:<\/p>\n

He believes that the conflict in the Middle East and Russia’s war against Ukraine shall have consequences for German society<\/strong>. In particular, Germany must be able to defend itself, and this applies to both the Bundeswehr and society.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
