Sounds very optimistic to me! Look at Russia's history (feudalism, totaliarism, dictatorship), then you'll realize, that 50 years are a bit short.

One for all, all for one! Love to Lithuania from Germany 😉

It's NATO, therefor it's a multinational troop with rotating member countries (French, Belgiums, Dutch and all other NATO member states). They are there since 2017, under German Command, decided at NATO headquarter. It's like that all along the NATO outside borders.

They do! NATO is there since 2017 with 1600 NATO soldiers, from which two thirds are German and the other third is done with rotating NATO members. Another 2000 German soldiers are in stand by modus for urgent needed support.

@thanksmaybe4103 What, you mean where a Serbian shot an Austrian Crown Prince in Bosnia and therefor Austria declared war to Serbia and because Russia was an allie to Serbia they started attacking and then Germany got involved because of being allied to Austria?? And so on and so on.... The historians of today (from all countries) had researches about WWI, and they clearly found out, that Germany wasn't the only country being guilty. It was this terrible Nationalism of those days, and all of the countries were "hot" on going into war. Btw, the Kaiser, as useless as he was, wrote letters to his cousins (Tsar, the King) and the Austrian Kaiser, stating: as Serbia followed the demand/ ultimatum of Austria to hand over the assassinator to Austria, there is no need and reason for starting a war. The rest is history ...

NATO/ Germany is there since 2017 with 1600 soldiers. Two thirds are German soldiers. Another 2000 German soldiers are in "stand by modus" for urgent cases, if needed. Germany is doing the Air Policing at the Baltics and some German Fregates are "cruising" in the Baltic sea to protect the Baltics from the sea side. All in cooperation with other NATO member states.

You are aware, that all NATO members had reduced their military (soldiers, armery) by 70% (yes, I also thought, that it can't be correct, but it is!) in the last 30 years, because all thought, after the wall opened, its over with the Russian thread. Most European army's nowadays are layed out for missions like Mali etc, not so much for home defence anymore. European NATO member states have to work together, than its a strong army.

@Tim_of_Kent Thank you for your understanding! It would have been nice by DW, to give the complete figures and not just those 50, which sounds a bit poor. NATO/ Germany is there since 2017 with 1600 soldiers, from which two thirds are German. Another 2000 German soldiers are in "stand by modus" for urgent cases, if needed. Greetings to the UK from Germany 😉

@owenthomas5103 Could be. The way I meant it with Russia is, the Russian NEVER had democracy at any times, Russia exists. That might be a difference. May be I'm wrong ?!

??? The Baltics were always taken serious, NATO/Germany etc is there since 2017.

@williamhenry8914 Well, as I'm no NATO expert, but think, that NATO knows, what its doing, I think it should be ok for now. Its just supposed to show Putin, that the "West" is there. No need, to put some hundreds of thousands of NATO troops along the Russian border, which will make Putin go mad completely.

@GeoEstes Because you wrote, that Germany would only spent money, when its in its national interest, which is not the case, as my answer onto that shows 😉
