Germany decides to leave history in the past and prepare for war
-
for the first time, Germany possibly gets to be the "good guys" in a world war! Quite a turnaround.
Germany on track for the greatest redemption arc of all time lmao
-
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."
Good article.
I appreciate that this was the photo the bbc chose to express German concern over US Russian relations;

The userbase is smaller in the lemmyverse. I recognize you from at least 2 more posts, you tend to get downvoted for shitty takes. Is that your goal?
I feel like I’m doing ok. I want the Fediverse to happen and I imagine I have way more likes than dislikes. (I don’t know how to check.)
Sometimes, jokes don’t hit. Life has upvotes and downvotes and I accept both with the zeal of a competitor.

That's the spirit.
But did Germany defeated Brasil in the cup?

I'd like to believe they'll kick the Nazis out of the bar before they reach the levers of true power, but I'm American and you see how well that went for us.
Having said that, I imagine the Germans are at least slightly more cognizant of the risks involved than we are.

Yeah one would think so, huh? But nope, right now nothing points to that. The last government declined to start the banning process against the AfD even tho the chances of success would have been really high. And that was a coalition of basically the labor party (as far as they think of themselves at least), the greens and some neo-lib shitheads. With the conservative government of right now? Lmao fat chance.

Yes. And they didn’t stop.

I think there's more to it than that. It's like you're trying to find the one joke that sounds like a bad - and contrary to the hive mind - opinion.
But meh, you do you.

Maybe I’m a bit contrarian, which grows old but I try to balance it with sincerity and light jokes. I don’t have any particular agenda when posting on Internet forums, to be honest.
You do you as well. I would nominate “Meh, you do you.” as the Fediverse slogan if I had such powers.

War is coming. Best be ready for it.

You keep doing you. I found the joke funny.
If we're all too afraid of downvotes to post our true opinions, Lemmy will turn into another echochamber.

I also see Putin as quite very

With the Putin-loving, fascist AfD as the second strongest party in the country? We will see, but I do not have high hopes.
Fuck trump, he made world less safe in so many ways and now in addition to threatening Canada and Greenland he appears to be planning to stay a war with Iran.
And get this, the excuse is because they don't want to negotiate suspending their nuclear program after he broke previous agreement.

It was deserved as well. Brazil's players were cocky as hell.
At least before the match.
