Revelation 6:3-4 “when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
Important Takeaways:
- If you want peace, prepare for war. Germany appears to be embracing this ancient maxim with the country’s top general warning Monday that Berlin is ready to bring back conscription.
- Carsten Breuer, the German Chief of Defense, told BBC’s Radio 4 an additional 100,000 soldiers would be needed to ensure the country’s ability to defend itself as a belligerent Russia continues to roil the continent.
- Defense chiefs have been looking to increase the size of the armed forces since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but have fallen short of even an initial target of 20,000, as Europe looks ahead to further unrest.
- The Daily Mail reports Breuer warned Russia could attack NATO territory in as little as four years and he is calling for a massive troop buildup – achievable, he says, only through compulsory service through conscription.
- “We are threatened by Russia,” Breuer acknowledged in his comments to Radio 4.
- “We are threatened by Putin, and we have to do whatever is needed to do to deter, and by building up a strong defense line then you deter best.”
- Asked how much time and money was needed to achieve Germany’s defense goals, he said it was “more about how much time Putin gives us to be prepared.”
- “The sooner we are prepared, the better it is.”
