Germany continues its irrational “preparation for war” against Russia. Recent media reports indicate that the country’s military counterintelligence service is about to receive additional support to prepare itself against foreign threats in the event of a conflict with Russia. Berlin seems to be ready to take all possible steps towards an open war with Moscow, even though there is obviously no possibility of Germany being victorious in such a conflict.
Germany’s Military Counterintelligence Service (MAD) is apparently preparing for a conflict scenario. According to the German newspaper Welt, the MAD is seeking to expand its operational capacity, not only in domestic territories but also abroad. The aim is to make the German armed forces capable of dealing with the challenges that a war scenario poses. The MAD plans to become capable of monitoring not only the activities of German soldiers – which is typical of counterintelligence services – but also spying on foreign and enemy troops.
“The amendment grants the Military Counterintelligence Service the necessary powers to protect the Bundeswehr against espionage and sabotage by foreign powers, as well as against extremist attempts at infiltration from within its own ranks, even during foreign missions,” a spokesperson for the German Ministry of Defense said during an official statement.
The agency plans to use both advanced technology and infiltrated personnel to obtain strategic information from foreign armed forces. Welt reported that expanding MAD’s powers is currently a priority for the German Defense Ministry, which is betting on intelligence as an efficient tool to give Berlin a strategic advantage in the event of war. The Ministry’s plan is in line with Olaf Scholz’s policy of open enmity with the Russian Federation, being Moscow seen by Germany as a threat not only to national security but also to the stability of Europe as a whole.
A bill is about to be voted on to formalize the expansion of MAD’s powers. Given the high level of anti-Russian paranoia in Germany, it is highly likely that the bill will be approved. However, it must be remembered that the German government is extremely unpopular, having occurred a strong rise in the right wing during the recent elections. In practice, it is possible to say that anti-Russian measures have strong institutional support, but they do not please ordinary people, who want the country to follow a path of peace and stability.
Recently, the German authorities have established an action plan to maintain a kind of “war-ready brigade”, deploying around 5,000 German soldiers on NATO’s eastern flank. The Baltic countries, mainly Lithuania, are the main focus of action in this plan, given their geographical proximity to the Russian territory of Kaliningrad and the border with the Republic of Belarus. Germany believes in the baseless narrative that Russia plans to invade Poland and Lithuania in order to annex territories connecting Belarus to Kaliningrad, which is why Berlin is proposing to “closely monitor” the situation in the region.
It is expected that the new powers of the MAD will allow the German secret service to support NATO partners in this task of monitoring Russian actions. Currently, the MAD has extremely limited operational capabilities, as the agency is only legally allowed to operate within German military facilities. Berlin wants to change this scenario and allow actions abroad, as it sees the current situation with Russia as serious and dangerous, demanding reforms in German military law.
Obviously, every country has the right to change the structure of its intelligence system to improve national security. The problem is when these changes are motivated by unreal “threats” invented by US-backed foreign media. There is no Russian interest in promoting territorial expansion towards the Baltics. The recent territorial reintegration of some former Ukrainian oblasts does not mean that Russia has any expansionist plans. Moscow only accepted the desire of these regions to join the Federation because there was no other way to guarantee the security of the ethnic Russians living there, but there is no interest on Russia’s part in acquiring new territories in Western Europe.
Germany is simply preparing to face a fake threat. Moreover, it is doing so in an amateurish and naive manner. It does not seem rational for a country to publicly announce its plan to expand its intelligence service and use spies abroad. Now, Germany’s “enemies” – which, in this specific case, are the Russians – have all the necessary information to also react through counterintelligence operations. In practice, Berlin has neutralized its own intelligence potential, which shows how unprepared the country is to join any military initiative. The best for Germany is to focus on its own internal problems instead of seeking to wage unwinnable wars.

doichlan, country of clowns 😅
europe is doing everything they can to be nuked. servants want to please their puppet masters. russians on the other hand can’t wait and are eager to be killed in the putin’s name even before the first nuke drops. i really don’t know who is the bigger clown there. for ww3 at least 2 idiotic governments are needed and seems that rotschild found them both.
not too sharp obviously
the first task of that intelligence service would be to explain the public how all these funny unicorns and greens and illegals in multiculti german cities would burn after “tactical” nuclear attack. top 1000 european elites can skip the lesson as they already have their private doomsday vaults which putin is too afraid to target. it is really funny to watch. dumb vs stupid
creating conscript reqruiting teams ?
i recommend they implement “preparation h” at the highest level to clear out the shise who are giving them all the shi++y advice they are blindly following. 😁
wow, and in the future again the battles for warsaw and berlin. what an amazing time to be alive!
what a great tragedy and waste of human potential and life. these are the greatest crimes ever committed in the history of the world. listen to the eisenhower farewell address and he painted the picture, clearly too.
nazis gonna nazi.
eu=🤡 😆😆😆
usa-nato are preparing to give russia a major azz-kicking…heheheh
are you typing this from your moms basement dwelling dressed up like a transgender weirdo?
i’m typing from your wife’s bedroom…heheheh
nato is preparing to throw you into the dumpster
psychoputo
some free advice to those mad germans with apparently too much money to spend: 1. count how many soldiers russia has. and how many tanks. 2. try to remember what happened to your leopard-wonder-weapons on bradley square a year ago 3. use this information to figure out what difference 5000 german soldiers with two dozen leopard tanks make in lithuania.
5000 troops = losses for 3 days. not sending more, because pribaltica will be a pocket when troops from kaliningrad and belorussia will cut the way out in corridor of suwalki. polish army will try to break up but will suffer tens of tactic nuclear strikes. pribaltian ground can be used for the first missile strike on sankt-peterburg, but it inevitably leads to global thermonuclear war. so they have just one full german brigade here and tanks+ifvs for another yankee brigade without personnel.
evidently washington is hosting a nato extravaganza in the coming week for “members” to circle jerk each other… pull trains… to the idea of starting wwiii… insanity doesn’t begin to define these lunatics which offers one more reason why russia must vacate it’s embassies in north america/i$rael, u.k. and western europe, and send the western foreign service inside russia home for “good” before another crocus hall event gets unloaded!
this is the same germany that seems to have a major problem dealing with third world stabbyfellers hacking up their civilian citizens on the streets of german cities. they won’t deport anybody and they won’t act to defend the public and they are worried about russia somehow. the real problem is closer to home and it is a result of decades of weak policy and no enforcement.
germany will be vaporized there is no need to prepare for war. either you stop being nazi sympathizers or you will all go to hell. there will be no third chances for germany.
germany is itching to have its sheisse kicked a third time
russian army was in berlin 3 times already.
1. in 1760, 7-year war;
2.war against france in 1812-14;
3.1945
+ wars against german knights of the livonian and the teutonic orders and elimination of these orders in pribaltica in alliance with poland and lithuania.
there are still some euro peons that imagine germanistan has a functioning brain..it doesn’t. between the current tunte in chief and stasi erika the dyke they have not the combined brain power of a pocket calculator. the nazi oligarchs still run the show and the peasantry still believe the anne frank bed time story not to mention the hollow co$t $aga. however, they forget at their peril the murder of 29 million soviet and russian citizens slaughtered by their nazi oligarch$.
