Oh look, the wealthy have convinced us to kill each other again. I am sure this will end well.

Is that ending up just being the same thing we have in the U.S., except maybe less advertising. We have recruiters that go to every high school, tv advertisements, and every man is required to enroll for the draft, but instead of enrolling there they seem to be auto-enrolled which makes more sense. Then the legislature makes a vote on whether to institute the draft, same as here.

Yet another example of Germany's complicity with the US-led NATO and its aggressive military policies, We should be focusing on reducing armaments, not expanding them

Let's see what happened between 2020 when none of this was happening and today that might make these nations feel like they have to be prepared for conflict... Total mystery...

Why on Earth would you reduce armaments when you have a warring country that is ostensibly hostile to yours nearby, and is making plans to invade the countries you're directly bordering? Countries that you are allied to, both politically and militarily?
