Europe Prepares for Potential World War III

Europe is bracing for potential conflict, with Germany at the forefront of preparations for World War III amid escalating nuclear threats from Russia. A classified 1,000-page report outlines plans for deploying up to 800,000 NATO troops, logistical strategies for moving military vehicles, and guidelines for civilian self-sufficiency, including the installation of diesel generators and wind turbines. Meanwhile, Poland is investing heavily in its border defenses, including an 'Iron Dome'-like missile shield, and Baltic states are also strengthening their military capabilities in response to perceived threats. The urgency of these measures follows a significant shift in Russian nuclear policy, allowing for nuclear responses to conventional attacks, prompting fears across Europe. Countries like Sweden and Norway are advising their citizens on preparedness, reflecting a wider concern about the spillover of conflict. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock emphasized the need for investment in security, stating that Europe must not be intimidated by Russia's threats.
