It seems clear that the directions being taken from the West are constant expressions that are strengthening the possibility of a possible war against Russia. The latter come from Germany, the mouth of Chancellor Olaf Scholz of the Social Democratic Party. It has recently reissued a warning maintaining the "Russian threat": "It's not time for peace."
In addition, the German Chancellor has led to the production of arms. It calls on the German arms industry to speed up its production and symbolically shows its commitment to strengthening armaments: the construction of an arms factory, the well-known Rheinmetall company in the village of Unterlüß, and the inauguration of the work of Scholz and the Danish Prime Minister of Mette Frederiks.
The new Rheinmetall plant will be built in 2025. It is about producing 200,000 ammunition a year for various weapons. But before, among other things, Rheinmetall will continue to produce massive weapons to send to Ukraine. The CEO, Armin Papperger, has just announced it. It adds that the government has placed orders for this company amounting to EUR 15 billion by 2024.
Call to the whole of Europe
And the chancellor has not only looked at Germany in this pretension to break the armory: He has spoken to all European countries and called on them to increase and accelerate the production of weapons in a ‘massive’ way. "We have to move from manufacturing to mass production of weapons," says Scholz. All this says that we must do "to convince" the "aggressors" who consider threats, such as Russia.
Scholz apparently intends to continue increasing the military spending of the government, with an increase of 2%. It seeks to "modernise" German military forces, after the authorities insisted that the German Army is "naked" in the face of the "Russian threat".
NATO looking at a "total war"
These intentions are by no means confined to Germany. NATO itself is demanding an increase in arms production in Europe. Military Committee Chairman Rob Bauer said earlier this year that the "total war" against Russia could explode over the next 20 years.

I don't know what atmosphere there is in the south of the Bidasoa, but at least in the north is the word "war." In the orders of December 31, 2023, President Macron could seven times correct the word "rearmament." They say that we need to channel the ‘war economy’, and that is... [+]
