Germany Prepares for Potential Conflict with Russia

U.S. intelligence agencies have warned American defense firms of potential sabotage risks from Russian intelligence groups aiming to undermine support for Ukraine. Concurrently, Germany is proactively preparing for a possible conflict with Russia by implementing the classified 'Operational Plan Germany,' which outlines the integration of civilian resources into military operations and prioritizes the protection of critical infrastructure. The plan emphasizes Germany’s strategic role as a logistical hub for NATO operations in the event of an escalation on the eastern front, involving comprehensive training sessions for local businesses. Recommendations include ensuring self-sufficiency and training additional lorry drivers to mitigate potential workforce shortages during a crisis. Moreover, joint military exercises, like 'Red Storm Alpha,' have commenced to enhance security measures against espionage and sabotage attempts. This heightened state of readiness reflects both nations' concerns about escalating tensions and the potential for direct military confrontation.
