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.”
Just don’t draft people & you good. A drafted military never fights well
Maybe, but a drafted one fights better than one that doesn’t exist.
How about you fight instead of dragging people to die in wars witbout their consent.
Oh wait, you rather sacrifice others.
Oh & there are more desertions in a drafted military
Don’t mistake me for saying drafting and war is good. Just that a drafted army fights better than a non existent one.
