Pistorius Warns: Peace With Russia Only Possible from a Position of Strength

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated that the German military is prepared to "kill Russian soldiers" if Russia were to launch an attack on NATO territory, The Financial Times said. "I’ve always believed that if you want to talk about peace and détente on equal terms, you can only do it from a position of strength," Pistorius said. The minister stressed that Germany's stance is not intended to intimidate but rather to signal its readiness to defend itself and its allies.
