Germany has revealed plans to potentially deploy 800,000 NATO troops, including Americans, in response to escalating tensions with Russia. The 1,000-page document outlines preparations for a possible World War III scenario, detailing infrastructure protection and military logistics. Sweden and Norway are also taking steps to prepare their citizens for potential conflict, issuing guidance on self-sufficiency and emergency readiness. This comes after Russia's recent shift in nuclear policy, allowing for nuclear responses to conventional attacks. The situation has intensified with the U.S. decision to permit Ukraine to use longer-range missiles against Russia. This marks a significant escalation in the conflict, prompting European nations to bolster their military readiness amid fears of direct U.S. involvement.
