General Barrons claimed Russia could deploy warplanes, ships and troops within hours.

A former NATO chief has warned Europe could be at the mercy of an imminent attack from Russia with no defence plans to repel an invasion.

General Sir Richard Barrons claimed Russia could deploy warplanes, ships and troops on European soil within 48 hours if it desired, with NATO some months away from an effective counter-strike.

The former chief of Joint Forces Command warned that the failure of countries such as France, Germany and Italy to take the threat of Russian aggression seriously could lead to a loss of land, sea and airspace.

Countries bordering the country, led by president Vladimir Putin, are concerned about the threat from their neighbour, not a priority for southern and central states.

The majority of the EU bloc is focussed on the heightened terror threat and migration crisis gripping the continent.

This is despite Moscow investing in new state-of-the-art equipment set to rival NATO’s arsenal.

“If you list all the military capability that Nato has, it has a lot more than Russia, but because most of it exists in this semi-dormant state there is a window of opportunity where . . . Russia could use its smaller forces to tweak Nato in a way to which Nato would be very pressed to respond because it doesn’t have any plans to do that.

“In the absence of consensus, largely between the north, the centre and the south, it drops down to the lowest common denominator and not much will happen.” Sir Barrons told The Times.

TL; DR: Need bigger budgets cause Russia with their soaring economic prowess with largest military budget in the world is gonna attack Europe cause they have nothing better to do than trying to make mainland Britain their next Sevastopol.
 
This trick is too old. Try something new. Yawning....
 
War mongering to get bigger budgets.

Nothing else.

Sweden is certainly increasing the military spending in light of unveiled Russian threats.
The plan was to cannibalize the 100 Gripen C/D for the forthcoming Gripen E.
Now, a discussion has started to keep some or all the Gripen C/D for a fleet of 100-170 fighters.

It was also decided this month to reestablish military presence on the island of Gotland, due to new threats
which are stamped Top Secret.

Russia wants to build a pipeline in the Economic Zone of Sweden, and for that purpose
they proposed to rent a harbour on Gotland, massively extending it.
People have noted that the changes would make that harbour perfect for receiving
an amphibious invasion force.
 
The General might have a lot of friends amongst weapons manufacturers...
