Experts are warning that Vladimir Putin is preparing for a ground assault on NATO within “six months.”
Danish Intelligence has said that Putin could launch an invasion on NATO territory in “as little as six months.”
The Time’s Berlin bureau chief Oliver Moody said, “If you believe the Danish intelligence service, it could be as little as six months, according to their latest estimate.
“After the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, three days later , the now outgoing German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, stood up in the Bundestag and announced what he called a Zeitenwende, a turning point in German history, of which the centrepieces were a €100billion rearmament fund, and a commitment to finally meet NATO’s 2% of GDP on defence spending target.”

Moody added, “And, in fairness to Scholz, he’s done both of those things. The state of equipment and morale in Germany’s armed forces has improved quite significantly.
“But it is nowhere where it needs to be if it is going to honour its commitments.”
Moody said that Russia holds the strategy of “industrial-grade sub-military warfare,” he then warned, “every single non-military tool you can think of has been deployed.”
Last month, the former Chairman of the Defence Select Committee, Tobias Ellwood has warned “there’s a 1938 feel to the world” meaning we are in a pre-war period as was seen prior to World War Two which started on 1 September 1939.
Ellwood told GB News “We are attacked daily by Russia, let me make that clear,” which many Brits may be unaware off.
He said this is “all designed to cause economic harm” and “sow political confusion” which is all part of Vladimir Putin’s strategy against Britain.
The much-respected MP suggested the UK is facing conflict, he said, “There’s a 1938 feel to the world right now,” but suspects he won’t as the US is part of NATO, for now.
Ellwood said, “What Russia does is to probe, to see where there are weaknesses, to use proxy influences – the green men, as they’re called – those not in uniform, to cause havoc and deniable attacks on Europe and indeed the UK,” he added Europe is now in “a new era of insecurity.”
