Must be prepared to use nuclear weapons if necessary
the top British soldier swears his troops to prepare for battle.
These tough announcements by two European armies should be heard by Putin!
"For credible deterrence, we need both the means and the political will to implement nuclear deterrence if necessary," said Air Force Chief Ingo Gerhartz (56) on Friday at the Kiel International Seapower Symposium.
In plain language: If necessary, we NATO countries must be prepared to use nuclear weapons if Russia does it first.

He also said clearly about a possible Russian attack: "Putin, don't mess with us!" Because: "By 2030, the Europeans will have over 600 modern fighter jets in the Baltic Sea region. Then there are the American planes."
"We are the generation that needs to prepare the army to fight again in Europe," said Sir Patrick Sanders, 56, Britain's new supreme army commander, according to The Sun.
Accordingly, Sanders has used his debut as chief of staff to send a message to all his soldiers. And it was tough because the phrase "to fight in Europe again" is a clear allusion to the Second World War.

The Russian bloodbath in Ukraine is shaking the world order. So is World War III imminent? It is not intended to come to that, but according to Sanders, “there is now an urgent need to forge an army capable of fighting alongside our allies and defeating Russia in battle.”
The military expert Maximilian Terhalle (46), currently a visiting professor at the London School of Economics, warns that the NATO countries must now show that they are prepared to stand up to Putin militarily: "Once again, the West, led by the USA, to flaunt its superiority in no uncertain terms.”
Terhalle advocates a robust stance in the conflict with Russia. Nuclear weapons also play a crucial role in this. Only those who are willing to use nuclear weapons in an emergency can effectively deter, says Terhalle.
