Amid the risk of an all-out war with Russia NATO has more than half a million “troops at high readiness.”
NATO’s most senior spokesperson has said that the alliance has undergone the most “significant transformation” in a generation.
NATO is preparing for a full-scale war with Russia as Vladimir Putin’s cronies have warned they are in a US controlled clash with the “collective West.”
NATO spokesperson Farah Dakhlallah told CNN, “Since 2014, NATO has undergone the most significant transformation in our collective defense in a generation.
We have put in place the most comprehensive defense plans since the Cold War, with currently more than 500,000 troops at high readiness.

She added, “Around a third of NATO members have some form of compulsory military service.
“Some allies are weighing up conscription. However, as an alliance we do not prescribe mandatory military service.
The important thing is that allies continue to have capable armed forces to protect our territory and our populations.
The Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said this week that the West is actively “preparing for conflict” with Russia.
Vucic said the West is “not ready now” for war with Russia and Ukraine’s allies are “preparing much faster than some people would like to see.,” TASS reported.
Speaking to Pink TV Channel Vucic said, “The West would like to conduct warfare from a distance, through someone else, through investing money and so on, but at the moment they are not ready [for a direct conflict with Russia]. Will they be ready?
“They are not ready now, but I think they will be ready. They are already preparing for a conflict with the Russian Federation and they are preparing much faster than some people would like to see, in every sense.
“We know that from the military preparations, we know how they’re going. And I want to tell you, they are preparing for a military conflict.”
The UK is considering conscription as the British “military industrial complex is shot” and the UK must take a “different approach” to our “reserve forces.”
The former head of MI6 and several NATO countries are considering to adopt the Swedish military conscription system.
Recently Germany’s Defence Minister visited Tegeluddsvägen a conscription testing centre in Stockholm.
Boris Pistorius said, “We need young and well-motivated men and women to defend our countries if they are needed.
“I heard a lot about the Swedish approach and I appreciate it — your approach includes a strong reserve force and we have seen in Ukraine that this is important.”
In April the former head of MI6 Sir Alex Younger told the BBC, “Our military-industrial complex is shot. We need to do something about that. We need to build up our capabilities.
“I think we need a completely different approach to, for instance, our reserve forces which allows us to call on those people in the event of an emergency.
Since Sweden implemented the conscription system some 110,000 teenagers are screened annually then a quarter will then be called up to take exams and undertake physical testing as their national service if partial and unlike WWII the whole country will not be called up.
Speaking during an interview on BBC’s Today Podcast Sir Alex said that UK has been “infantilised” since the Cold War ended.
He said that people should be picked based on their skill levels instead of having a blanket wide call up.
“Then ultimately in extremis, I think we’d be looking at something like the model I understand exists in places like Sweden.”
Sweden adopted the conscription model in 2014 after Vladimir Putin invaded Crimea and they also rearmed.
