Russia didn’t just invade. There is a lot more to it than that. Yes, they shouldn’t have invaded. However, there was a lot of provocation.
Conscription
Conscription was introduced in 1956 and remains enshrined in Article 12a of Germany’s Basic Law. They let it go in 2011 and are now considering mandating 18-year-olds serve to increase troop levels to 203,000 by 2031. Only compulsory military service can accomplish that.
Germany’s military, the Bundeswehr, recently received the all-clear for a massive increase in investment after parliament voted to exempt defense spending from strict debt rules.
They don’t trust the US to defend them any longer.
“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.”
They have no evidence that Putin is preparing to take over Europe. They can’t even take over Ukraine.
Germans See Trump as Dangerous [for wanting peace?]
A recent YouGov poll showed that 79% of Germans still see Vladimir Putin as “very” or “quite” dangerous to European peace and security.
Now, 74% said the same for Donald Trump.
The survey followed a speech in Munich in which his Vice President JD Vance laid into Europe and its values.
They didn’t get the message – clearly.
JD Vance says he’s trying to save Europe from itself.

“That was a clear signal that something fundamentally has changed in the United States,” says Markus Ziener.
“We don’t know where the US is heading, but we know the belief that we can 100% rely on American protection when it comes to our security – that trust has now gone.”
What has changed is their values. They’ve become totalitarians who silence all opposition.
Germany is aware of their history. They started two World Wars.
For decades, people in Germany have been raised on a rejection of military might, acutely aware of Germany’s past role as the European aggressor.
“We started two world wars. Even though it’s 80 years since World War II ended, the idea that Germans should stay out of conflict is still very much in many people’s DNA,” explains Markus Ziener of the German Marshall Fund in Berlin.
They’re globalists now and guided by a radical ideology.

The spirit of Norm McDonald would be a better diplomat and policy advisor for the entire EU, compared to whatever and whomever they have running things now. Here they go again. Again. When will they ever learn? If I lived in the EU, I’d probably rather live in Russia right about now. But only if I could watch Norm reruns… Read more »
Globalists SUCK. It is high time that all of these warmongering nincompoops are removed permanently. They are way too big for their britches. They are ruining the world, destroying age-old alliances, they work against the wishes of good, honest people in every corner of the globe. They have fomented color revolutions, caused massive alien invasions, started proxy wars and are… Read more »
The WEF/EU are behind this. “A ruthless tyrant will burn down his country so he can rule over the ashes”
Conscription will be funny in most EU countries. They will quickly find out how weak diversity made them.
But it will take many corpses and apocalyptic destruction before they reach that realization.
And then, after huge numbers of dead Americans end Europe’s war the U.S.taxpayer will be required to rebuild Europe…again.
And here in lies the real goal. To get us into another f#$ken world war that will decimate the world’s population, conveniently target opposition, and reshape the world into a dystopian nightmare ruled by the insane. Don’t let it happen again. If there was ever a time to protest in the streets it’s now. No more senseless war!!!
“They started two World Wars.” At best the statement is simplistic. At the worst is is wrong. WWII? Hitler started the war. WWI? There were many factors, including that the Brits effectively, in the context of the times, declared war when they went to full mobilization.
I should have put it in quotes. A German official said it.

It is clear that the globalists are not only a threat to the USA but also to Russia. The reasons differ, but both must be removed for them to achieve world domination. From a globalist view, the two countries must be made enemies.
But the current crop of globalists have to also subdue the CCP. It has its own global domination ambitions. And then there are the Muslims, who are well on their way into demolishing Western Civilization and establishing a worldwide caliphate.
