Part 8/10:
On another front, Germany has made headlines with its announcement of a permanent troop deployment in Lithuania — its first since World War II. However, this long-term plan will unfold slowly, with logistical and political challenges delaying immediate troop presence. The slow progression raises questions about Germany's military readiness and commitment to NATO, especially in the face of ongoing Russian aggression.
The deployment strategy, planned for completion over the next few years, may be seen as inadequate given the urgency raised by the current geopolitical climate. Such hesitance can potentially signal weakness or indecision to opposing forces, illustrating how much time and preparation are required to mobilize effectively, particularly in such uncertain times.
