Germany's Bild newspaper warns the Baltic states, stating that if Ukraine loses, Russia will have time to recover. It is also possible that tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers may join the Russian army, and with Russia's military expansion, the future Russian military might directly attack NATO countries. For example, a plan to attack the Baltic states. Germany is now fully preparing for war and aims to become the top military power in Europe by 2030.
To expand such a powerful force, there must be an external threat to make Germany's military buildup seem reasonable. Therefore, German media has been making various targeted statements. Especially the Baltic states are the most dangerous, as their countries are small but very prickly, always causing trouble and supporting Ukraine.
During the Russia-Ukraine war, the Baltic states have practically exhausted their national strength to provide support to Ukraine, continuously sending various aircraft, artillery, drones, ammunition, tanks, and other equipment free of charge for use by Ukraine. Therefore, Russia has long hated the Baltic states in its heart. Once Russia really defeats Ukraine, it will definitely take revenge on the Baltic states.
Because the NATO alliance has proven its weakness during the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Therefore, it is necessary to find all possible ways to punish the Baltic states, which may be reintegrated into Russia's territory after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Although the Baltic states have joined the NATO alliance, it is clear that NATO is currently just a paper tiger.
If the Baltic states are captured, NATO may not actually go to war, which is a fact. Therefore, Germany uses the Baltic states as an excuse to scare European countries, preventing them from acting recklessly. As a result, they will certainly collectively urge Germany to quickly enhance its military strength.
Moreover, Germany has promised to allocate 5% of its total economic output to the military, which will significantly increase defense spending, leading to a substantial boost in military strength.
