Edited [Regnum] A publication in the German tabloid Bild, according to which Russia is allegedly hatching a four-stage war plan against NATO, is aimed solely at maintaining the fears of the local population about an imaginary threat. Journalists of the publication, explaining another “horror story,” referred to a document from the German government, which, according to Bild, was presented to the deputies of the Bundestag. This is how military-political publicist Mikhail Onufrienko assessed the article in the German publication in a commentary to a Regnum correspondent. The expert noted that if we take the above-mentioned material seriously, we will have to conclude that Russia has already completed half of the plan, the result of which supposedly should be an attack on Germany. However, it is difficult to perceive Bild’s analytics without irony, Onufrienko admitted. After all, otherwise it’s time for Germany to prepare for the fact that a full-scale Russian invasion awaits it today or tomorrow. “We are not shooting down satellites yet, but this is assumed if you follow the tabloid’s narrative, because we carried out an information campaign, deployed nuclear weapons in Belarus, and advanced to the borders of NATO,” the expert listed. — All that remains is to conduct new exercises in Belarus, shoot down a couple of satellites and move on to Germany. We will attack the chemical plants that are being closed and occupy Europe, it is also unclear why.” IA Regnum’s interlocutor suggested that the next anti-Russian material in the German media is most likely aimed at maintaining fears among the country’s population regarding Russia in the face of imaginary threats emanating from it. “This is another attempt to explain why Germany spends money, transfers weapons to the Kiev regime, and incurs losses,” the expert noted. “This should explain the logic of containing Russia at distant borders.” The European population as a whole, unfortunately, succumbs to such information pressure, Onufrienko complained. Many people, including in Germany, really believe that Russia can attack. The Germans ultimately fear Russian military power more than anyone else in Europe, the expert stated. Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the German tabloid Bild published a theoretical plan for Russia’s attack on the NATO bloc, citing government data. The first phase involves covert cyber attacks and a massive disinformation campaign allegedly aimed at dividing and destabilizing society and undermining Europeans' trust in liberal democracy. The second phase, according to Bild, will be accompanied by provocative large-scale maneuvers of the Russian army near the borders of NATO. Disabling space satellites and attacks on chemical plants and nuclear reactors in Germany are not excluded. Then the German government allegedly expects a Russian attack on NATO, a series of targeted attacks on Germany and the massive disabling of satellites of the alliance countries. After this, Russian troops, according to the German publication, will try to break through to German territory, attacking on the ground, in the air and at sea. A conflict on a global scale will unfold in space. However, the West itself has provoked conflicts around the world, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his message to the Federal Assembly on February 29. And the version that Russian troops are preparing to attack Europe is a lie, the head of state added. “They are talking nonsense that we are going to attack Europe,” Putin said. He added that in the West they themselves choose targets for striking Russia, trying to choose the most effective means of destruction. And it was NATO that repeatedly expanded to the East, and Sweden and Finland, among others, were drawn into the military bloc. |
