German Authorities Try to Please US by Preparing to Conflict With Russia - Kremlin

The statements made by the German authorities about preparing for war with Russia are related to the need to please Brussels, Washington and NATO, as Germany has been experiencing problems with its sovereignty since the end of World War II, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said the country must prepare for war by 2029 amid "increasing Russian threats."

"Germany has always had big problems after the World War II in terms of deficit of sovereignty and independence. And within the framework of this deficit, of course, the German authorities are racing against the clock — they have to please Brussels, the Washington Party Committee, and [NATO Secretary General Jens] Stoltenberg in NATO," Peskov told Russia media.

That is why their position is so complicated, Peskov said.

"Can you imagine them tearing up [between Brussels, NATO and Washington]?" he added.
