Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
A high ranking NATO official has stated that people in Europe should prepare for a full on war with Russia sometime in the next two decades.
Admiral Rob Bauer, chairman of Nato’s Military Committee, told reporters following a meeting of Nato defence chiefs in Brussels that governments need to start putting preparations in place, and that civilians will need to be mobilised on a large scale.
“We have to realise it’s not a given that we are in peace. And that’s why we [Nato forces] are preparing for a conflict with Russia,”Baur declared.

He continued, “But the discussion is much wider. It is also the industrial base and also the people that have to understand they play a role.”
“It starts there,” Bauer continued, adding “The realisation that not everything is planable and not everything is going to be hunky dory in the next 20 years.”
The Telegraph reports that Baur also heaped praise on Sweden for telling its people to brace for war.
“We need to be readier across the whole spectrum,” Bauer further proclaimed, adding “You have to have a system in place to find more people if it comes to war, whether it does or not. Then you talk mobilisation, reservists or conscription.”
“You need to be able to fall back on an industrial base that is able to produce weapons and ammunition fast enough to be able to continue a conflict if you are in it,” he further stated.
A massive military exercise, Steadfast Defender 2024, involving 90,000 NATO troops is scheduled to begin next week, marking the largest effort since the Cold War ended.
