Retired British general warned that we could have less than two years to prepare for the war with Russia.
Donald Trump pulls U.S. military support Ukraine and threatens the invasion of his ally in NATO, which could actually reshape alliances that, as many considered, help preserving peace in Europe for decades. The less reliable United States becomes as an ally under Trump’s presidency, that is Europe Vranjivi at the Universal Russian invasion, General Sir Richard Shirreff.
Russia President Vladimir Putin is ready to use it, he believes Shirreff, which means that the trumpet forces Ukraine will never lead to peace.
Within two years, the former NATO Deputy Commander in Europe believes that Russian tanks “will cross the border in Estonia and Latvia”.
Writing for Mailonline, “” in four hours will be on the threshold of the capital Estonia, Tallinna. The British Water Bunnish Combustion provides short resistance, but suffers great losses before being surpassed and forced to withdraw. “
In the end, it would lead to the United Kingdom to publish the formal war to Russia, and the Allies of Britain in Germany, France and Italy would follow. But the year of political polarization – often encouraged by Russian money, bots and astro-turfing – may have managed to divide NATO.
“Along with Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, the US refuses to offer support,” Shirreff said.
It predicts that this war will not be limited to countries on the outskirts of Europe.
Russia could fire their missiles on the RAF base in England and other goals in Western European countries, which would return to Russia’s energy and military infrastructure, while sending reinforcements to the Baltic countries.
Shirreff has a rather elaborate “fantasy” for the next two years – from Russian soldiers in Donbas, to another Putin’s conquest of Ukraine, which Trump will now greet the Peace.
The retired general sees the future where the former boxer and mayor of Kiev Vitali Klitsko replaces Volodimir Zelenia in the position of President of Ukraine. Shirreff thinks that the kid will use the return of the total war to fire nuclear missiles – to be developed in Russia, destroying the city and causing the various “Vasal republics in the Far East and Caucasus”.
In his opinion, that would lead to the fall of Putin regime and, with him, Russian belligerent behavior – not mentioning the fact that these ultranationalists are even more aggressive and that many of these Vasal countries are dominated by ethnic Russians.
“Maybe this is a fiction,” he wrote Shirreff. “But if we fail the opportunity to become the masters of your destiny, Putin will be the one to manage.”
“Again, the survival of the West depends on how well we are prepared.”
Taking into account the outbreaks of war by 2027. year, Shirreff said, “Hundreds of billion euros invested in strengthening our armed forces in the last two years mean that we can defend themselves – and return strongly.”
That seems, European leaders seem to be increasing investment while considering plans for sending peacekeepers in Ukraine, with or without American support.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced an additional 13.4 billion pounds per year for defense from 2027. years, in the statement to the members of the House of Communities last month.
He said, “One of the great lessons of our history is that instability in Europe will always reach our coasts and that tyrants like Putin will answer only.”
The President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced up to 674 billion pounds for arming Europe and Ukraine earlier this month.
Poland leads to the plan to spend 4.7% of its GDP on defense – more than 3.4% that have now spent last year.
The French Defense Budget should reach 57 billion pounds a year until 2030. year, compared to 42.5 billion pounds this year.
Belgium plans to increase its defense budget with 1.3% GDP to 2% by 2029. years.
Denmark announced a Defense Fund of 5.6 billion pounds, and Germany – usually unwilling to face Russia or increase military consumption – considers mitigating its fiscal framework to fund defense.
A lot comes to the account of social benefits – Finland bought new combat aircraft last year, but cash incentives for unemployed and housing benefits were reduced.
However, Shirreff warned, “Maybe we’re late.”
