Summary
Denmark’s Defense Intelligence Service warns that Russia could launch a large-scale war in Europe within five years if NATO appears weak or divided, especially if the U.S. does not intervene.
The report outlines a timeline where Russia could attack a neighboring country within six months, escalate to a regional Baltic conflict in two years, and potentially engage NATO-wide by 2029.
The assessment comes as Trump pressures NATO members to increase defense spending and has suggested the U.S. might not defend allies who fail to meet financial commitments.
What are they gonna start a major war with? Their one “functional” 5th Gen “stealth” fighter that has the radar cross section of a Boeing 747 and no replacement parts?
They gonna start shitting out t-34s again like it’s WW2?
They have lost the majority of their best vehicles and their trained soldiers.
If nukes didn’t exist they would already have been obliterated by now.
Yep. At this point, we should fear millions of Russian refugees on our borders when their country finally collapses.
yup. and they still managed to win. It doesnt matter how many russians die, the mafia is still in charge, its detractors in the country have all been killed or imprisoned, and europe is too afraid to fight them other than mutually assured nuclear annihilation.
they cant fight for shit, but they are very lucky that americans are so fucking stupid.
Will. You meant “will”.
Man Europe needs to build up their military quick. Too long you’ve relied on the US but now the US is unreliable depending on who is in office
they’ve sat on their hands this entire time
they had a wait and see attitude until the US election came trump won, they wait and saw they sat on their hands some more.
Russia’s conventional military is cooked, but all they need to do is launch a few hundred missiles at Europe, and Europe will tear itself apart with countries refusing to honor Article 5, and bam. Fait accompli, NATO dissolves.
There was a serious military buildup in some more sane countries. Poland has spent the past few years buying up all the tanks everyone had.
bold of them to say it’s within 5 years. probably more like 6 months.
This is a ridiculous headline. They could start a war today, also could have started a war any time in the past 5 years.
You’re half right: it’s ridiculous because they did start a major war in Europe in the past 5 years.
I didn’t deny that, so I am entirely right. The point is that the headline is meaningless clickbait.
Title is misleading, since there is already a major war in Europe started by Russia

Started by the US who can’t keep their nose out of other people’s business
True. 🤣
You have the remarkable ability to confidently navigate the world with a mind so barren of critical thought that even a Magic 8-Ball would outthink you in a debate.
Says the person parroting US propaganda?
Oh, I’m sorry—I didn’t realize independent thought meant regurgitating conspiracy buzzwords like a malfunctioning chatbot. Try forming an original argument instead of just copy-pasting skepticism from whatever YouTube video your algorithm fed you.
That’s rich coming from the echo chamber
ml detected vatnik opinion rejected
Good thing no one cares about liberal opinion
This checks out… if you only include putin in the definition of “people”
No, it’s still a fucking lie even then. Claiming that Putin was somehow “forced” to invade another sovereign country because the US was some kind of boogeyman is purely demented, ass-backwards abuser “logic.”
but if putin is the only person, that means every country belongs to him!
well, the US now does for sure
Man I thought I had squashed all the tankies. .ml is leaking again.
Poor widdle Russia had no agency, NO CHOICE, but to invade. They were OBLIGATED to violate the Budapest Memorandum and attempt to seize Ukraine.
It was Ukraine that violated the Minsk Agreements
Off is the general direciton in which you should fuck.
Russia openly admitted they had no intention to stick to the Minsk agreements. So why should Ukraine?
No they didn’t, Russia was abiding by them.
The Minsk Agreements only exist as a direct result of Russia shitting on the Budapest Memorandum. The Budapest Memorandum was signed in 1994, and Russia promised to never violate Ukrainian sovereignty if they gave up nuclear weapons. The Minsk Agreements were signed as an attempt to end Russia’s invasion of eastern Ukraine, whose sovereignty you may recall they promised to never violate just 20 years prior.
Believe it or not, the U.S. cannot force the Russian military to cross its own border into a third country.
Thoughts drift far away, A tranquil mind, void and still, Silent echoes play.
Would you like to tell the whole class how US is responsible for Putty bombing civilians?
Nazi Russia pact 2: America throws Europe to the wolves after creating its own role it now uses as an excuse to blackmail world peace and climate for lithium and hate because Mars Hateopia is no longer feasible in time for Elon-aloo.
Surely putin will be dead by then?
One can hope
I’m tired of living in weeks, boss
This is about how quickly the Russian war machine and economy can rebuild their capability to attack again. IIRC the report by the Danish Intelligence Service assumes that the Ukraine war stops now and that Europe does not increase its defensive capabilities.
If Moscow perceives NATO as weak, Russia could be ready to wage a “large-scale war” in Europe within five years, the Danish Defense Intelligence Service (DDIS) has said.
They didn’t say Russia will, they said Russia could. I feel like this is fearmongering to a certain extent. How is the war in Ukraine going for Russia? They’re winning, sure, but they’re fighting hard for every kilometer and it’s costing them. I really don’t think any other country is worth as much as Ukraine is from Russia’s point of view.
People die but remain missing = no costs They finance most of the equipment etc. themselves. Laws are already being changed in the direction of forced child labor and I wouldn’t be surprised if Putin brings forced rape into play if necessary. So losses are manageable even with the junk equipment.
Ukraine is acting democratically… even the current convocation will do if age limits have to be constantly adjusted. Equipment either from abroad or financed from abroad. Losses are not bearable
Europe, America and all democracies in the world are sinking into unstable chaos due to Russia’s propaganda machine. No more united action, etc. The majority of the population backing Russia is becoming an ever greater risk and the likelihood of civil war is increasing.
Etc.
So people who don’t take this seriously, make fun of Russia, etc. have absolutely not grasped the seriousness of the situation. There are several ways of waging war… even without actively intervening in the events themselves.
I mostly agree with your points, but even the article title very clearly says ‘could’.
Russia had been encroaching on Ukrainian borders for years before launching their full invasion, and I’m not aware of similar actions against other European nations. It may be fearmongering, but unifying and strengthening NATO is in an important step to take to prevent Putin from going even further. He is heading towards his latter years now, and he seems to like the idea of restoring the ‘glory’ of the USSR and showing the West how big and stronk Russia is.
Additionally, in a larger-scale war with other, better armed European nations, Russia might not hold back on using their nukes this time round.
So is Ukraine in Asia or something?
Major war already started 3 years ago. Europe sat on its hands, and America is looking for the door.
Boy, it sure would be bad if the US population had voted a Russian stooge into the presidency for the next four years. Oh wait…
I think Russia is well aware that if they go to war with the EU, China will backdoor them hard.
Do you mean China will attack Russia or will assist Russia?
I mean Russia, yes.
What? I’m confused what you mean when you say back door.
When Russia looks towards the west, China looks towards the North.
They would love to get some of that land.
