The State Duma assessed Germany's plan to deploy hundreds of thousands of NATO soldiers to the East

Revanchist ideas do not leave Germany. Andrei Kolesnik, a member of the State Duma's defense committee, said this on Thursday, November 27, responding to Germany's development of a plan to deploy 800,000 NATO fighters to the East in the event of war with Russia.

"Actually, they've always been doing this, and any exercises involve the transfer of troops from one location to another, so it's not surprising that they're moving east. I don't think it's Germany, it's a joint NATO operation. So they are trying to scare us, demonstrative actions," the deputy said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

He added that at the same time, Germany is preparing its armed forces (AF), which are currently quite weak, for combat operations.

"Their revanchist ideas do not leave them, but we must remember how it all ended," said the parliamentarian.

He also recalled that during the Nuremberg trials, the sentences of Nazi criminals were carried out by Americans, in particular, Sergeant John Wood.
