This year, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz pledged to build Europe’s strongest army – a tall order for a country whose military has undergone years of neglect.
The coalition government is hoping a new bill agreed upon last week will help make this a reality, bolstering Germany’s forces in the face of the perceived threat from Russia and a significant shift in US foreign policy.
The sweeping new reforms will see Germany attempt to boost its numbers to 260,000 soldiers, up from around 180,000 currently, in addition to an extra 200,000 reservists, by 2035.
Ah yes another cold war. I bet the military industry just loves you.
I bet Putin loves you.
Naw, he likes warmongers like you.
He’s scared shitless of powerful countries, the only way to deter that warmonger is to have a more powerful military than him.
The only other option is to let Putin continue invading post-soviet countries and annex them, just like he did with Crimea and now continues with other Ukrainian regions.
Do you think that’s a good idea? Or do you really believe he will stop after this latest invasion? Do you not see what he’s doing is not much different than how WW2 started? Before Europe realised what was happening, it was too late, it was already mostly occupied by Nazis.
The only thing that DICKtator responds to and the only thing that will deter him from further invasions is POWER and telling him to FUCK OFF or he will be bombed into oblivion.
I’m 99% sure you are either a Russian bot or a victim of Russian propaganda. Keep licking those Putin boots, you’re almost done big boy.
The best time to take out Putin is right now you pussy. You just want to build up another cold war so your military complex buddies can get rich killing off civilians.
I am 99% sure you are a bootlicker capitalist who thinks war is going to solve our problems.
I bet you never heard of deterrents and mutually assured destruction.
Or you heard about them, and you think you know what they mean and how they work conceptually, but in reality you have no clue.
So please, I’ve asked you a couple times now. What is the alternative to stop Putin from invading Europe? Or do you believe he will stop this time, once he achieves what he wants in Ukraine? Why do you keep deflecting those key questions? Bot much?
Edit:
So start WW3 to defeat Putin?
“War bad. Let’s start WW3 to stop all wars” - You 👆.
I bet your not very bright if you think mutually assured destruction is a good thing
I am not fan of how this whole thing is being handled. Without the US backing up Europe Russia can’t be brought to their knees diplomatically. However economically Europe could deal the death blow to Russia. But it won’t.
I am not a fan of escalation, but if Europe actually stepped in to save Ukraine it would change everything. But it won’t.
What we will do is continue to throw innocents into the meat grinder. Fuck the warmongers that are allowing this on all sides.
*you’re
Thank you.
You keep making all these baseless claims Mr very bright and yet you STILL haven’t answered how to stop Putin?
How exactly could Europe bring Russia to its knees? It tried and it failed. Europe is made up of many different countries with different relationships to Russia, Mr very bright.
No single European country can bring down Russia and the European Union is just an economic union where a lot of Russia sympathetic members keep voting against Russian sanctions. So how exactly can Europe bring down Russia, Mr very bright?
Please enlighten me.
Sincerely,
Mr not very bright
You desperately want someone to solve all your problems don’t you. You sure you don’t want to go live in Russia so daddy Putin can make all your decisions for you?
Let’s all sell some more bombs to Ukraine while we continue sending money to Russia seems to be the European stance. The US is just straight fascists backing Russia while selling arms to the Ukraine. The most powerful military in the world in check.
So the solution is to build up armies again so we can go to war err I mean create mutually assured destruction? That is the best you can do. Pathetic.
The quickest way to end this is just to give Ukraine some nukes no? I thought mutually assured destruction is the way to go!
