from 21st Century Wire:
The fact that European leaders are now opining that they’re expecting a war with Russia ‘within the next decade’ or so, should be a cause for great concern. It’s now clear that the US election may be a deciding factor in that uncomfortable fait accompli.

The world is once again on the verge of momentous U.S. elections, with either side accusing the other of being an existential threat bent on destroying the American Way: Kamala Harris and the Democrats portray Trump and the Republicans as a fascist cabal keen to destroy the accomplishments of democracy and the latter accusing the former of flooding the country with illegal immigrants as a way of securing electoral advantage and transforming the country into third world nation in the process.
From the Raging Twenties – Into the Troubled Thirties
And the world is watching . . . All the while, the ongoing war in the Ukraine and the Israeli rape of Palestine also manage to keep people’s minds occupied. The EU, as a political block beholden to Washington, appears in a state of frantic worry and trepidation.
The block’s economic powerhouse Germany seems to lead the way in this respect. The German foreign intelligence (the BND or Bundesnachrichtendienst) chief Bruno Kahl, for instance, recently told Germany’s parliament that the “Russian armed forces are likely to be capable of carrying out an attack against NATO by the end of the decade at the latest . . . [i]n terms of personnel and material.” Even adding that a direct confrontation between Moscow and the U.S.-led military alliance was “becoming an option for Russia.” In fact, Kahl was but echoing Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, who told the German daily Der Tagesspiegel already last January that “[w]e hear threats from the Kremlin almost every day . . . so we have to take into account that Vladimir Putin might even attack a NATO country one day.” As such, Pistorius even provided a handy time-line: “[o]ur experts expect a period of five to eight years in which this could be possible.”
Other European nations readily repeat this war rhetoric: Sweden’s commander-in-chief General Micael Bydén even called upon his fellow-Swedes to “prepare themselves mentally” for war. Bydén was also supported by his Minister for Civil Defense Carl-Oskar Bohlin who ominously declared that “war could come to Sweden.” Whereas, Sweden’s Minister for Defence Pål Jonson recently stated in the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita that “Russia poses a threat to Sweden, as it does to the rest of NATO. We cannot rule out a Russian attack on our country.”
Meanwhile, accross the Atlantic, presidential hopeful Trump also used belligerent language earlier this month:
“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within . . . We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they’re the big — and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by the National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.”
As, Trump’s top priority, available in his platform known as Agenda 47, is to implement hardline measures at the U.S.-Mexico border by “moving thousands of troops currently stationed overseas” to that border. The text of Agenda 47 makes for interesting reading: “Republicans will secure the Border, deport Illegal Aliens, and reverse the Democrats’ Open Borders Policies that have driven up the cost of Housing, Education, and Healthcare for American families.” And arguably, that is one of the main reasons EU leaders are worried about a possible second Trump presidency, as that would appear to signal a U.S. withdrawal from world affairs – an ‘isolationist America’ — as well as a subsequent premature end to a possible World War III.
