The actual title of the linked article is: Leaked German military documents laid out a doomsday scenario where Russia wins in Ukraine then invades Europe
The article explicitly states:
The documents are not a prediction but part of worst-case-scenario planning, a common exercise within militaries. A German official called the scenario “extremely unlikely.”
So I don’t think that the title of this post is fair. Russia could go to war with NATO in 2024, and you don’t need a leaked document to tell you that. But there is nothing in this article that makes this possibility seem any more or less likely.
I see - thank you for adding that context, I think that this title change is in itself quite interesting… Because then they did intend to use a sensationalist title, and only changed it later.
I have double-checked out of curiosity and I do see that your post’s title is the title indexed by google:
Many of the republicans I’ve interacted with “love” WW2 history and it’s sadly funny to me that they should know the events leading up to the war and the policy of appeasement failing to achieve its goals, but they continue to regurgitate Fox News appeasement talking points at me.
It highlights the problem of cognitive dissonance lmao
They love the glorification and romanticization of WW2, not the history leading up to it. They are warhawks who want to pad their pockets with military industrial complex money at every turn.
Which is also funny to me because I’d argue WW2 was one of the more moral wars to ever be fought considering the ideologies of Germany, Italy, and Japan at the time.
They probably don’t like talking about the events leading up to the war because they sympathize with the America First movement and, by extension, the Nazis.
