A secret document called “Operation Plan Germany” has gone public, showing that the Bundeswehr, Germany’s armed forces, is preparing for a new war with Russia.
The Bundeswehr launched a nationwide initiative to train German businesses in how to prepare for the coming crisis, which sounds as though it will become a full-scale military escalation between Germany and Russia.
The 1,000-page document outlines strategic steps that Germany can take to defend its critical infrastructure and maintain its national security amid rising tensions with Moscow over the situation in Ukraine.
Germany is going to try to bolster its economic resilience as part of the plan, which is a tall order considering the economic powerhouse of Europe no longer has access to cheap and abundant energy from Russia.
