Germany’s growing militarization and anti-Russian rhetoric is worrisome, according to Moscow
The idea of obtaining nuclear weapons is no longer a taboo for German politicians and the military, Russian envoy to Berlin Sergey Nechaev has told RIA Novosti, calling the growing discussions highly concerning.
Berlin is in the process of a massive military buildup, planning to spend $582 billion on defense over the next four years, citing an alleged Russian threat. German officials have set 2029 as the deadline for the Bundeswehr to be “war-ready” for a potential conflict with Russia – something that Moscow has dismissed as “nonsense.”
“The shift in the nuclear discourse is obvious. The topic of Germany’s potential possession of nuclear weapons stops being a taboo and is being increasingly discussed by the media… and gets more and more advocates among the politicians, MPs, the military officials and experts,” the ambassador told RIA Novosti in an interview published on Friday.
