Those that don’t know history (like you apparently) are doomed to repeat it. Germany is not a peaceful country. They think they know everything. They are dangerous, cold domineering
And last year Germany couldn’t deploy a single submarine because they were too cheap to buy spares despite running massive budget surpluses annually. And a few years before that they deployed broomsticks to a NATO exercise because they were too cheap to properly arm their army. With allies like that who needs enemies?
Germany is rotten to it’s post modern core. A hollow shell of a nation driven by economic interests alone. That they have a strong alliance with one party state fascist Russia should be no surprise.
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.Would not surprise me if that was a sympathy ploy.
