Sure he does.
Now that he doesn’t post his food content any longer, media would forget about him unless he calls for some edgy stuff every 14 days.
No one takes Söder seriosly. What he says today, has no predictive value for what he will say tomorrow and he talks a lot.
Let him be recruit No. 1 then.
Why ?
Because he likes to undercut political agreements that he negotiated in the first place.
They agreed on a solution months ago and said to monitor results. Yet here he goes.
What solution ? What problem ?
Germany got rid of conscripting soldiers a while ago. Starting the Ukraine war the government is thinking about how the German army can meet its personnel goals, for fulfilling its obligations.
We still have no conscription but a voluntary service. He tries to overturn that decision or at least profit from the controversy.
In addition, the Bundeswehr currently doesn't have the capacity (personel, infrastructure) to conscript the entire 'fit' part of a year's cohort (of those who wouldn't refuse). Thus, under this condition, mandatory conscription would be even more (still only
themalepopulationcitizens can be drafted) injust.It means some kind of war is looming in Europe ?
Well no, it already started.
There can’t be a serious answer to that question.
But Europe is invested in deterrence.
because the military industrial complex deems it so
Why the need arose all of a sudden ?
because germany is on the brink of a fully fascist takeover and the military industry wants to be already ready when the moment comes
https://dawum.de/Sachsen-Anhalt/ - afd in a federal state that votes in 4 months at nearly 50% absolute, but bcs parties under 5% dont make it into the parliament, it means the seats are spread proportionally among the remainig partirs, meaning if only 2 parties dont make the 5%, afd has absolute majority in the parliament
https://dawum.de/AfD/ - on a federal level, afd has taken over the conservative party, while still far from absolute majority, the nsdap under hitler also didnt have absolute majority twice. and we know how that went
yeah nothing to do with the war in ukraine
the war in ukraine has no german soldiers, and germany said they wont send german soldiers in, and the military industry already profits from it by selling their shit to ukraine.
so compulsary military service has nothing to do with ukraine, so the only other reason to have it is to build up the german army for its own usage.
if anything, the afd would deploy german troops on the side of russia, bcs oligarchic cunts recognize oligarchic cunts
Conscription is a hindrance to joining wars far away. By and large, a country's citizens do not want to go to war outside its borders. On the other hand, countries with professional militaries are relatively free to conduct warfare abroad without the populace getting angry, see the US.
Also, like, the absence of a direct causal link does not mean two things have nothing to do with each other.
I notice a similarity between afd of Germany and BJP of lndia.
