This was reported to the German mass media by a source in one of the European intelligence agencies.
The leader of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, may attack Europe in 2024 or 2025: he will wait for the moment when the United States will find itself “without a leader” and will not be able to quickly help its partners to contain the Russian attack.
This possibility is being considered by one of the European intelligence agencies, the German Bild writes , against the background of the assumptions of the current head of the German Defense Ministry that NATO and the EU have at least 10 years in reserve.
“That is, we are talking about the period between the moment when the current US president will leave office in early November 2024 and the moment when a potential successor will take his place in January 2025,” the publication points to the “dramatic scenario” of Putin’s attack.
At the same time, the Russian authorities expect that the chair of the US president will be occupied by Donald Trump again, because “anything can happen during his term of office.”
Boris Pistorius in one of his last interviews with the German media also said that Berlin has 5-8 years to restore the former strength of its army.
It was noted that Germany is going to redeploy 4,000 Bundeswehr soldiers to Lithuania as part of strengthening NATO’s eastern flank by 2027. The brigade is planned to be deployed on the border with Russia, Pistorius announced.
The minister also emphasized that mandatory military conscription must be restored in Germany.

Bild must be short of something to write about. The chances of russia even taking Avdiivka by 2025 is remote.
Putler thinks if his orcs show up, everyone will either run away or stay and fawn over him. I don’t think he expected the large majority of Ukrainians staying in the country when he showed up in February of 2022. As you said, he doesn’t have the forces to force an occupation since Ukrainians don’t fawn over tiny fascist dictators.
I honestly think it could be true as Russia is increasingly delusional.
Of course this endeavour would fail.

Good one.
Do the military experts at Bild also explain with what mafia land will attack next year?
“current US president will leave office in early November 2024 and the moment when a potential successor will take his place in January 2025”
The election is in November 2024, but the current president doesn’t leave office until his successor is sworn in.
Given the Current list of candidates coming out of the Republican Party , I highly doubt a new president will change hands. Biden will be the clear front runner and easily win a second term. Trump was recently barred from the election from one of our states for. This is enough to keep him running for President. Trumps team is slowly unraveling. It’s only a matter of time before h ends up in jail.
I hope you’re right about Biden.
But note that what trumpkov was blocked from was the *primary* ballot. Also, in 2020, Biden won Colorado with over 55% of the vote, and by a victory margin of 13.50%. So even if trumpkov winds up getting blocked from being a candidate in Colorado, that (likely) wouldn’t make a difference as far as the overall vote.
We need to see what the Supreme Court says about Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, and what battleground states try to kick him off.
And there’s nothing in the Constitution that would prevent him from getting elected President while in jail.
