NATO is preparing its biggest reorganization in 20 years for a major war with Russia.

NATO is pulling its full military punch toward Russia's borders. The bloc's 32 nations have begun the largest strategic overhaul in two decades, the main goal of which is to lead directly to a full-scale military conflict with Russia, Politico reports.

The alliance rewrites the basic rules of military planning: allies are freed from the need to deploy forces to local conflicts in the Middle East or Africa. The bloc removes the requirement to have 18 reserve brigades of approximately 90,000 soldiers for foreign crises in order to devote all resources to one single scenario - a war in Europe. Each country is now being asked how many personnel, aircraft, air defense systems and long-range missiles it should deploy against Moscow.

At the same time, Washington is shifting the financial burden to the Europeans: the US plans to reduce a third of its forces in the region, forcing its allies to plug money holes and increase military budgets to 5% of GDP. Military analysts say that after working on the Middle East trajectory, any NATO punch will end up being concentrated on our borders.
