To fight for what? A country riddled with enemy invaders welcomed in by the government class?

Danke Merkel

I believe Germany is having a demographic crisis — many old folks, not nearly enough young folks
———-
Story time. A few years back, I worked with a German national who left Germany to the US at 18. I asked why he left.His short answer:

German men became woman. After the war, there were no fathers left, the woman were bitter, commonly raped, prostitution was a common job, and the woman raised the family- what to expect of woman who try to raise a man?

Do the German people really want a war in Russia? Why? The coming elections might well change things. Do Germans want a flow of body bags coming in? Do they want to be cannon Fodder for America’s proxy war? What if it goes Nuke—Small bombs first—then no more Berlin and Hamburg?

I don't want WWIII to start, but it does make sense to create a reserve army. If you want to consider yourself a First World Nation then you need a First World Military. That must include a large number of troops.

They don't necessarily have to have a large standing army, but they could re-introduce physical fitness requirements into all levels of education. They could also tax the heck out of unhealthy foods, nutritional supplements, and medicines. They could also require 2-4 years of service so that men become acquainted with firearms and other non-soy-boy pursuits.

Even if Germany never goes to war they will have a healthier populace with lower medical bills and most likely increased fertility.

Everyone has their agenda.

In her case, at least in Germany, everyone knows the name Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann.

PR stunt riding on a current hot topic.

But yes, furthering the madness. No different than covid.

Absolutely not.

You need a professional military, i.e. all volunteer.

900,000 reservists can only be achieved with conscription. Not even if the Germans started paying their soldiers well would they get to that level.

“Surrender to Russia”? Why on earth would NATO do that? Remember, other than in your and Hillary’s Russia, Russia, Russia deliriums, Russia NEVER attacked NATO. Your neocon proxy war is completely unprovoked.

The United States won its wars with conscripts (Civil War, WW1, WW2). And the Taliban defeated America's "professional" military.

Russia attacked Ukraine. The West had made guarantees to Ukraine about their security in return for the Ukies giving up their nukes.

We’re making good on those guarantees which has nothing at all to do with Russia. Nope, not a thing.

“The peoples of Islam will always be closer to us than, for example, France “

“Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers [...] then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. “

“You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn’t we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”

“A religion that believed in spreading the faith by the sword and in subjugating all nations to that faith. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the German temperament. “ - Adolph Hitler

“School books are printed that portray Germany as an aggressor state.”
——————-
Imagine that! Just because Germany invaded Russia twice in 27 years and killed or murdered 26 million of them in the 2nd go-around, the Russians have that gaul, the chutzpah, to accuse Germany of being an aggressor nation. Is nothing sacred or off limits?

The Muslims in Germany and other NATO countries aren’t going to join.

Oh, they'll join, but when the time comes, they'll be fighting for themselves.

From the Taliban takeover of the Afghan presidential palace: Look at the trigger discipline of the two directly behind the man sitting in the center of the photo.
