NATO is preparing to transport 800,000 soldiers and 200,000 armored vehicles to the border with Russia in the event of full scale war. The publication Der Spiegel just reported this after gaining access to secret military documents. Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China, have contingency plans just like this one. But moving that many troops would be a massive undertaking unlike anything we’ve seen in recent history. How does NATO plan to achieve that goal? What challenges are there to deploying that many soldiers across the world? And what are some of the strengths and weaknesses of a collective defense alliance?

Key to understanding NATO’s plan are five new transportation routes, each one centered around a different port where transport ships filled with troops and vehicles would arrive. The stated reason for the creation of these new movement corridors is because Russia’s long range missiles could destroy ports, bridges or bases. Looking at this map we can see that all of Europe is within range of many types of Russian ballistic missiles. This would severely limit transportation options and could make mobilizing troops under the current plan unsustainable.

    Cappy known for mispronouncing every word in the dictionary, somehow managed to pronounce Rzeszów almost perfectly. I find that more impressive than 800k troops being moved across the ocean.
  • @srivera18
    Squad leader calling you “redundant” was such an underrated joke 😂😂
  • @Youngie761
    Lol Civ 5 reference. That was great. They are always trying to get access to my land!
  • Too bad most people who saw season one won't be with us when season 3 drops 😢
  • "12 to 13 hour drive is a bit of a ways to go." Every American watching the video: "Light work. Won't even need a bathroom break."
  • @smoketinytom
    Convertible Humvees in the Article Circle? Damn, that's cruel.
  • The prospect of a new major war seems to excite young people whose parents haven't seen it either. My father was drafted with his whole school class to work the FLAK in WWII, they were NOT enthusiastic about it. Later he was taught to become a transport pilot, when he graduated, the germans didn't have the airplanes any more. Then at 17 he was sent to the western front, received a shot through his left elbow which was treated by three consecutive amputations. No Antibiotics, no anaesthesia. I only knew him with just one arm + what is called today PTBS....(something that does effect the next generation as well) He could only bare to watch "entertainment war movies" because they were so "hopelessly unrealistic"..... Though I'm german, my main language has become english. And let me use it to say this: calm down folks, think about the outcome, don't be stupid....!

    "Secret military documents" does not show up in a newspaper!
  • @Maxammo22
    I have over 4000 logged combat hours in HOI4, I think I can handle this one buddy.
  • @markchapman2585
    Great video Cappy. But that clip of the guy falling forward made me spit out my coffee. 😂
  • @user-ir8uk8ey2d
    I really love that you just give us info, very little bias and let the viewers think for themself. That is so sorely lacking in the "news" and tabloid media. You're channel is a breath of fresh air and I appreciate the content and all the work that goes into it.
  • It would be really funny if NATO leaked those documents on the War Thunder forums.
  • @Player-re9mo
    As an Eastern European I hope I'll succeed in getting laid before ww3 begins. Wish me luck!
  • The main weakness of specialization is that if one country is taken out quickly, the rest of the alliance permanently loses their contribution. i.e. when the country responsible for tanks gets unexpectedly taken down quickly, now the rest of the alliance will not get any new tanks in the short and medium duration. This can quickly become a disaster.
  • Chris, I am grateful for your insightful analysis and compelling narration. As a history enthusiast, I find it alarming that a large-scale war could be on the horizon in Europe. The potential consequences of such a conflict are deeply troubling, as it could result in widespread devastation and setbacks for humanity, possibly spanning hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
  • @HanSolo__
    For those who did not believe Poland would form a 300k size army. We are already ahead of the planned elargment.
  • @DefaultProphet
    People hear “planning” and think it’s happening tomorrow instead of just figuring out how to do it
  • Excellent job narrating Fantastic job editing the video Great job taking all this information and making sense of it Great job Thank you for posting I really learned a lot

    Chris... I am a 70 year old Viet Nam vet and 24 year retired military. Your knowledge and way you present your info is far superior to any thing the "legacy fake media" can produce. You are a very intelligent and personable info specialist. I am "worldly" but you have a gift. Apply for a major news outlet "that speaks truth" so your knowledge and personality can reach the uninformed.
