NATO readies troops to fight Russia as generals fear major war in Europe
The plans involve American troops arriving at multiple European ports, with a focus on Russian borders.
Recent reports reveal NATO's preparations to deploy American troops to Europe in the event of a potential clash with Russia.
The alliance is establishing new "land corridors" across central Europe to swiftly mobilise soldiers without bureaucratic hurdles, ensuring a rapid response if the conflict in Ukraine escalates further west.
The plans encompass strategies to counter Russian aggression, enabling troops to move through Italy, Greece, and Turkey toward the Balkans, or through Scandinavia towards Russia's northern borders.
Amid escalating tensions, Russian President Vladimir Putin has openly speculated about the prospect of a third world war, threatening "fatal consequences" for Western nations supporting Ukraine in its defence.
European leaders, alarmed by Ukraine's struggle against the Russian invasion, are adopting a tougher stance against Moscow.
Some have even discussed the prospect of sending troops eastward and boosting defence spending to confront the ongoing conflict.
According to The Telegraph, the outlined arrangements involve American troops arriving at multiple European ports, with a focus on swift deployment near the Ukrainian and Russian borders.

The alliance's objective is to ensure a seamless movement of troops across Europe, bypassing regulatory obstacles and facilitating swift responses to any Russian aggression.
