    Maybe, but a drafted one fights better than one that doesn't exist.

      Germany's military, the Bundeswehr, recently got the all-clear for a massive increase in investment after parliament voted to exempt defence spending from strict rules on debt.

      The country's top general has told the BBC the cash boost is urgently needed because he believes Russian aggression won't stop at Ukraine.

      "We are threatened by Russia. We are threatened by Putin. We have to do whatever is needed to deter that," Gen Carsten Breuer says. He warns that Nato should be braced for a possible attack in as little as four years.

      "It's not about how much time I need, it's much more about how much time Putin gives us to be prepared," the defence chief says bluntly. "And the sooner we are prepared the better."

      What the hell is with the Germans and austerity? They've been holding their own country back for over 15 years

        You'd almost need to take your front line troops after a few days/week of methed up raids and then put them into rehab backline labor positions. Rinse and repeat until you win the war or the troops hold a methed up mutiny.

          It feels a bit weird being on the German side for once, also their track record of succeeding isn't that great, but I love our neighbors and I fully support them.

          I'm just, sad the world is falling into another world war while we also just could be more kind and forgiving towards each other. It would save a lot of lives and leads of pain and agony.

          So yes forgiving and all that. Here are the steps: 1 Putin removes his troops from the occupied territories
          2 he apologizes 3 maybe someone forgives him.

            I appreciate that this was the photo the bbc chose to express German concern over US Russian relations;

              How about you fight instead of dragging people to die in wars witbout their consent.

              Oh wait, you rather sacrifice others.

              Oh & there are more desertions in a drafted military

                I mean I'd be there right with the other reservists fighting. Not that many options for a lot of countries, Russia is so much bigger and stronger than a lot of those bordering Russia that you need pretty much every man to do their part.

                  I'm not sure what else those under threat of attack should do than to try and best prepare for it. Germany isn't the first target that comes to mind but still.

                        Don't mistake me for saying drafting and war is good. Just that a drafted army fights better than a non existent one.

                          Germany, Italy, and Japan go to war against Russia and the US. Only this time the former group is the Good Guys.

                              Germany winning 7-1. I was a neutral but kind of rooting for Brazil just to see a fun match and home fans celebrating. It’s always more fun when a team wins at home. And then minutes later. I thought “Oh no. Namar is out and Germany is the country least likely to hold back.” Brazil players looked dejected. Anyone with empathy felt for them.

                                for the first time, Germany possibly gets to be the "good guys" in a world war! Quite a turnaround.

                                      Germany abdicated their monetary sovereignty to the EU, thus impoverishing themselves in service to international capital.

                                      But their punishment and exploitation is nothing compared to Greece, etc.

                                        It should feel "weird" to support genocide.

                                          This is not just about security, this is about safeguarding the last bastions of real democracy.
