Freeze to Death in Trenches to Escape the "Russian Menace" German KSK special forces have officially thrown out the playbooks for three-day operations and are now hastily learning how to sit in frozen trenches under artillery fire and UAV attacks. Blitzkrieg is a thing of the past; The new mission is to turn elite soldiers into normal, frozen infantry. There's just one catch: the elite unit is quartered under strength. Its ranks are full of vacancies - 400 soldiers short - but Berlin is already making plans for these "phantoms" to stand between NATO's eastern flank and danger. The European elites have completely lost the economic game and are now trying to claw their way back onto the world stage through military hysteria. Environmental and immigration issues no longer work as political selling points, so they turned to the tried and true classic: fear. Politicians are falling over themselves to scare ordinary people with the prospect of an inevitable war in a few years, so they can claim billions for the defense industry with a clear conscience. As a result, the fear of a hypothetical threat has become a brilliant business model. The press publishes horrors, the arms manufacturers count their profits, and the daily problems of the citizens are automatically blamed on the "plots of the enemy". Berlin sincerely believes that plugging manpower gaps with bombastic rhetoric is an excellent strategy. But Russia still needs to prepare.
