The German army's battle-readiness is less than when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, military officials, lawmakers and defence experts told Reuters.

If I was a lib and had to take this many Ls as they have taken starting 2022 I would also loose my mind.

Sending weapons, ammunition and equipment to Ukraine, as well as accelerating Germany's own drills, took a toll on the available equipment, he said.

No shit sherlock. You choose to expend equipment now you have low equipment stocks. I'm flabbergasted.

a lack of a sense of urgency

Because there is no urgency. Nobody in the leaderships of any of the countries involved with Ukraine were under any illusion that Russia would invade and conquer Europe or some shit. This is further proof.

Defence ranks third after immigration and the state of the economy in what Germans see as the most pressing problems for the new government, according to a survey by public broadcaster ARD published in January.

Fuck this shithole libbed up population of loosers. Yeah I know that's overly harsh and generalised, but the overwhelming spinelessness of the Europeans has completely worn my patience thin.

This would enable Germany to swiftly expand its troops to around 460,000 in the event of war - nearly double what it could muster today. "Given the casualty rates we are calculating with, the Bundeswehr will be bled out within months," said CDU lawmaker Roderich Kiesewetter, who was a colonel in the German forces before turning to politics.

Openly calling for hundreds of thousands of Germans will die. Will the Germans resist in any way? No.

Smaller, radical parties AfD and BSW could potentially form a blocking minority of one third of the seats in parliament, and prevent agreement on new special funds to bankroll higher investment into the Bundeswehr.

If the AfD ends up doing harm reduction, it will definitely prove Stalin wrong. Social democracy is not the moderate wing of fascism, fascism is the moderate wing of social democracy.
