I see - thank you for adding that context, I think that this title change is in itself quite interesting... Because then they did intend to use a sensationalist title, and only changed it later.
I have double-checked out of curiosity and I do see that your post's title is the title indexed by google:
I am sorry for jumping into the assumption that you had changed the title yourself.
Good point - reported
Exactly! I was worried you wouldn't be able to read in between my lines 😌
But in all seriousness this is such a huge failure of our media to resort to scaremongering instead of staring the facts.
I agree.
But in this case that is not what is happening.... The linked article does not make the claim that is present in the title of this post at all!
The actual title of the linked article is: Leaked German military documents laid out a doomsday scenario where Russia wins in Ukraine then invades Europe
The article explicitly states:
The documents are not a prediction but part of worst-case-scenario planning, a common exercise within militaries. A German official called the scenario "extremely unlikely."
So I don't think that the title of this post is fair. Russia could go to war with NATO in 2024, and you don't need a leaked document to tell you that. But there is nothing in this article that makes this possibility seem any more or less likely.
