You say that like it hasn’t already started.

It's not a world war if Germany is not participating. Traditions must be respected.

What?

Slavery stuff

This isn't slavery.

Oh the travel restrictions? No. It's just almost a war crime.

Clickbait, they aren’t stopping anyone from leaving the country and it’s not new.

Pretty fucked up huh? For trips longer than 3 months apparently.

Probably to help Israel. 🤷‍♂️

More likely because Russia wants to take over the world.

Europeans actually believe this.

This seems to be more about knowing where people are rather than preventing them from leaving. The law in Germany dictates that nobody can be conscripted against their will. It's a volunteer based system still.

I'm not sure how I feel about this but I am of the opinion that if a war breaks out and a service aged man escapes the country to avoid it, I don't want them let back in once the war is over. And I'm strictrly talking about defending your own country - not attacking others. The russian who escaped the country to avoid being sent to Ukraine did the right thing. Same for any US soldiers refusing to fight in Iran.

Looks like the 1930s centennial celebration preparations are on track.
