Yeah, we know, irony is dead. But if the world made sense then the Orange Idiot wouldn't be in charge.

This would be much more concerning if they hadn't so thoroughly stamped out fascism. What's the alternative for Germany?
I can’t tell if that’s a lucky coincidence or a reference, but the Alternative for Germany (AfD) are the biggest voices in support of fascism in Germany, and they just won 20% of the seats in parliament. Luckily, even the CXU won’t form a coalition with them yet, so they will hopefully not have much impact on things.
Ironically, the AfD doesn’t want to militarize against Russia (but don’t be too reassured, they do want to reinstate mandatory conscription and militarize generally, just not against daddy Putin)
I think the widespread political "unwavering support" for a nation committing Genocide, which is justified by the ethnicity of the people of that nation, kinda shows that some part of Fascism (the whole "people's race is what matters the most and some races are better than others") hasn't at all been stamped out.
Then there's AfD which is just taking the "if it's good to support them because of their race, then it's good to support us" step closer to Fascism.
Germany is far closer to a certain philosophy anchored on classifying one's fellow human being as worthy or unworthy depending on race than one would like to believe (certainly, I liked to believe before the political reaction there to whole Gaza thing made it too obvious to deny) - the symbols were made illegal whilst the spirit lives.
Fascism is back on the rise there, unfortunately.
I thought my little AfD reference at the end would give me away.
I thought it was clear
The alternative is to not build a giant army and use the money in something more useful that will benefit germans and humanity

Thoroughly?
Supporting companies? ...
Germany was never fully denazified. There's a reason the New Left in Germany was so militant. Kiesinger was in the Nazi Party!

Poland has been pouring everything into their military, they are VERY ready for this to all go sideways. I can't blame them.
If it were up to me i would have only 3 conditions to allow poland go wild towards vladivostok
- Please have a winged hursar blow a horn to signal the attack (would be cool)
- Invite germany and france to tag along
- Dont take Königsberg for yourself but you may kick out the russians there <3
Yeah they have a history of things going sideways around them given the location
Also the location of Poland was going sideways multiple times in history
"the entire western world"
A bunch of crazy politicians want that. The majority of people in both sides wants peace and would like their money to be spend in useful things and not giant armies.
I read a lot of news and thus is the first I'm hearing this
Mass media spin the narrative. Ask people irl around you what they think
To clarify, it's the first I'm hearing about the Germans becoming some sort of Deus ex machina against Russia
I do indeed talk a lot about the goings on with my peers
We've always had a giant army. It just wasn't ours and we can't rely on it any more.

You know the US is not the "entire western world" right?! I think venezuela would be against it for example.
