German stupidity

 

So the German state continues to up the ante in its apparent desire to enter into a direct war with Russia. Not alone but with the help of its NATO mates.

We could speculate that the time specified, 2029, when the ‘potential threat’ from Russia is anticipated is one when there may be a new President in the USA who is far more amenable than the current holder to throwing America’s military might into the mix too.

However, a week is a long time in politics as they say and with the decision to provide Ukraine with longer range missiles capable of hitting Moscow the German state might very well discover it has bitten off more than it can chew.

What of the German majority class, and that of other western European countries, including the UK, what say do they get in all of this warmongering and potentially devastating consequences?

Peace rallies and CND protests are unlikely to prevent the actions which so called ‘leaders’ have embarked upon. The support for war determined states by the various military-industrial complexes is obviously a given.

The Legacy Media is already drip drip feeding of propaganda designed to put fear into the hearts of its various populaces. Is it likely or unlikely that we may see compulsory two minute hatred with venom being directed at Putin or whoever might be the Russian leader after him?

Even if a resolution to the current conflict is achieved, and a European security architecture is agreed, what guarantee is there that a threat to world safety won’t break out again?

The majority class should not let any more time pass before it says enough is enough. There is only one solution to this and many other existing problems and that is the replacement of capitalism with the only sane alternative, socialism.

‘The German military must significantly increase its weapons stockpile by 2029, the year the current government anticipates a potential threat from Russia, according to a directive issued by the country’s defence chief, obtained by Reuters.

The order, titled ‘Directive Priorities for the Bolstering of Readiness’, was signed on May 19 by Carsten Breuer, the inspector general of the Bundeswehr, the news agency reported.

Breuer’s order emphasises the procurement of advanced air defence systems and long-range precision strike capabilities effective at ranges exceeding 500km. He has also reportedly directed the military to increase the stockpiling of various types of ammunition and to develop new capacities in electronic warfare, as well as space-based systems for both defensive and offensive missions.

In March, the German parliament amended the nation’s law to exempt military spending from the ‘debt brake’, a measure that limits government borrowing. Merz has proposed allocating up to 5% of the nation’s GDP to security-related projects by 2032, a significant increase from the current level of around 2%. He claimed that this expenditure would transform the Bundeswehr into Europe’s most formidable military force.

The rearmament plans necessitate a corresponding increase in personnel. Defence Minister Boris Pistorius indicated in a recent interview that the ruling coalition aims to introduce a recruitment model similar to Sweden’s, potentially ending the current volunteer-only system as early as next year.’
