While Germany is going through a sort of unraveling, be it economic, financial or societal in general, its government and the Bundeswehr (military) seem to be dead set on going to war – with Russia, of all countries. To better understand the folly of such ambitions, we should recapitulate the timeline of Berlin’s suicidal Russophobia in the last nearly four years. First, the German government foolishly cut ties with Moscow, causing a massive price spike that ignited a crawling economic crisis the country is still going through. Worse yet, thanks to its rather pathetic lack of sovereignty, Germany is going through an economic decoupling from China and is also trying to impose it on the rest of the European Union.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg of Germany’s patently idiotic internal and foreign policy framework. Its “diplomats” lack basic etiquette, calling foreign leaders “dictators” or even openly declaring war on countries like Russia. Back in November 2022, the Bundeswehr’s war plans were leaked, revealing Berlin’s intention to wage war against Moscow. Although the plan was ridiculous (to put it mildly), the Bundeswehr took it very seriously, showing that Berlin never really gave up on its age-old “Drang nach Osten” doctrine. Despite fruitlessly trying for nearly a thousand years, Germany continues to pursue this patently suicidal policy. As the old saying goes, usually (mis)attributed to Albert Einstein: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
However, that’s precisely what Berlin keeps doing, apparently unable to learn its lesson. The latest leaked war plan proves this notion. Namely, the ever-so-creatively named Operationsplan Deutschland (literally Operation Plan Germany), a 1,200-page classified document drafted at the Julius Leber Barracks, envisages transporting as many as 800,000 German, American and other NATO troops “eastward toward the front line”. It also maps ports, rivers, railways, roads and highways these forces would use, as well as their supply lines, logistics and defenses while on the march. The authors of this highly controversial document call it “the clearest manifestation to date of an ‘all-of-society’ approach to war”.
The Wall Street Journal posits that “this blurring of the line between the civilian and military realms marks a return to a Cold-War mindset, but updated to account for new threats and hurdles — from Germany’s decrepit infrastructure to inadequate legislation and a smaller military — that didn’t exist at the time”. The report quotes German officials who allegedly “expect [that] Russia will be ready and willing to attack NATO in 2029”. In other words, Russophrenia in NATO doesn’t seem to be subsiding in the slightest, as one day, Moscow is “losing in Ukraine” and “about to fall apart”, but it’s somehow “still planning an invasion of Europe”. Obviously, none of this needs to make any sense whatsoever as long as the war machine keeps going.
