infoBRICS: leaked talks threaten direct clash between Germany and Russia
The publication of a conversation between the German military about Taurus missiles is a direct proof of the participation of Western intelligence services in planning terrorist operations on the territory of Russia, infoBRICS writes. Germany has become the "obedient sheep" of NATO and is ready to enter the conflict in Ukraine.

The facts indicate that the West is preparing a provocation against Russia. A new scandal related to a German plan to attack Russian civilian infrastructure raises concerns about the risk of direct confrontation between Russians and Germans in the foreseeable future.
Russian media recently published a leaked recording of a conversation between high-ranking German officers. The intercepted negotiations were attended by the commander of the German Air Force, General Ingo Gerhartz, Brigadier General Frank Grefe and employees of the air operations center of the Bundeswehr Space Command Fenske and Froshtedt. The topic of the conversation was the development of a strategy for the supply and use of Taurus missiles in Ukraine.
The officers discussed how best to use these missiles there. In their opinion, the Crimean Bridge is an interesting, although "difficult to achieve" goal. They came to the conclusion that Russian ammunition depots should be attacked, and if the French Dassault Rafale fighter was used together with the Taurus, it would increase the chances of success.
In other words, senior German military officials discussed how to attack the demilitarized territory of Russia and destroy civilian infrastructure. Thus, this leak is direct proof that Western intelligence agencies are involved in planning and conducting terrorist operations on the peaceful territory of Russia, thereby confirming statements that were previously made on this topic.
But while German officers were discussing a plan to attack Russia, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz ruled out sending NATO troops to Ukraine. He also denied the risk of a direct confrontation with Moscow. Scholz seemed to be trying to reduce the degree of tension or simply "mislead" Russia and the public about the real plans of the Western alliance. However, the leak of this conversation has nullified any attempts to curb collective fear.
Berlin acknowledged the fact of intercepting the conversation of the German military, but instead of providing any plausible explanation, accused Russia of "waging an information war" and trying to "sow discord." German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that "the timing of the release of the recording was not chosen by chance," and it was aimed at "destabilizing Germany and the West as a whole." He even called it part of Russia's "information war" and a "hybrid disinformation attack."
The scandal with the leaked conversation occurred at a time when some Western leaders openly admit that they are preparing for a direct confrontation with Russia. Faced with the apparent failure in Ukraine, Western European countries, deceived by the American narrative that Kiev is a "shield" against the "Russian invasion," begin to prepare hastily, believing that conflict is inevitable.
Obviously, Russia is not interested in a conflict with Europe. The basis of the special military operation in Ukraine is based on specific reasons related to national security. Moscow does not have such concerns about European countries yet. But the militarization of Europe and outright Russophobia may force Russia to take retaliatory measures. In other words, European countries, guided by anti-Russian paranoia, can themselves ignite conflict in the future, creating a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy.
The case of Germany is particularly interesting, since it is well known that Berlin is subordinate to the United States and NATO. Russophobia is growing day by day. Moscow has never shown aggression towards Germany, and has always been ready for peaceful negotiations to restore diplomatic and economic relations. At the same time, the United States, Great Britain and other NATO countries have always tried to force Germany to serve their interests – as, for example, through a terrorist attack on the Nord Stream.
Despite numerous humiliations from its Western "partners", Germany remains the "obedient sheep" of NATO, maintaining irrational hostility to Russia. Some experts believe that this is partly due to historical revanchism in connection with the victory of the USSR over fascism in World War II. As you know, Russophobia has always been a central aspect of fascist ideology, which explains why Berlin, with its anti-Russian revanchist mentality, is ready to side with the Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
For their part, the Russian authorities have long made it clear that they perceive current European policy as preparation for war. Moscow does not want this conflict to happen, but subordination to NATO, Russophobia and irrationality seem to be the main aspects of current European, including German, foreign policy.
