Germany to introduce wartime economy plans by 2029

[PBAC]

Mandatory military service
Anyone over the age of 18 required to work
Work place roles diverted toward the war
reduced workers rights including being unable to quit work
Subways/Basements being prepped as bomb shelters.
Rationing plans including a required 1 hot meal a day
Germany becomes a war economy

3 things I find alarming about this 1. The odds of a war with Russia being a lengthy stalemate are high .2. With the introduction of robots to the conflict zone it can create an endless front line in which both powers just throw their bots at each other. 3 . If war was imminent they would just say and act like it is imminent, not design plans to be ready by 2029 so of this moment it doesn't appear to be as imminent as they make it seem.

Are they expecting China to rebuild Russia's infrastructure? If Ukrained showed us anything, it's that Russia Military infrastructure is old and depleted and are the Yugo of the Military world. Germany has more issues with massive immigration than they do with Russia.

Dunno, same reason they thought Russia with an army of 100k could blitz Ukraine. Same reason Activision thought Russia could launch a land invasion of the USA in MW2.

More scare tactics. Next it'll be another plandemic!

They should just save the material and have the countries fight wars in Counter Strike.

War from home robots

 

[USA!USA!]

Germany is in NATO.

If Germany goes to war, every country in NATO goes to war.

That is not a lengthy war.

they lost 3 times. This would be the 4th.

Not really. If it goes to war it goes alone. Must be attacked for article 5, and even then it has to be attacked without attacking first.

The German Interior Minister said it was to face "Russian aggression" meaning Russia attacking first - she also clearly mentions NATO partners.

Germany would not go to war alone.

Kinda late for conscription and training people if they start when are attacked.

Defeats the point of conscription or more accurately "ideal" model of conscription

They won't go to any war. German minister is a fat dipshit that, just like all the European politicians, suffers from an inferiority complex and believes talking about war enhances their standing. That's why the discourse is increasingly bellicose, because they think that's how you gain standing on the international arena. It's also why you have irrelevant chihuahuas like Estonia fake-clamoring for war when their entire army would get crushed by One Direction fangirls. It's a sham and everybody knows it.

You think the US is going to miss an opportunity for more war?

which is why I think it's socially targeted. Weird how not being allowed change your job is on top of the list of first priorities.

Not only that, according to the article, "skilled laborers aged over 18 could be made to work certain jobs including in bakeries" of all things.

"The russians attacked! Go sell those croissants and pretzels!!! That'll teach them!"

Screams laziness as well

Instead of making pro military attractive career choice for people they go for this bullshit version of conscription (of course real conscription military IDF/fin style is out in western europe)

Seems weird to start so far out if they really feel like war is imminent.

That's not how it works. The UK was invaded in 1982 by Argentina (Falklands)

Not only did other NATO nations not assist, the French supplied Exocet missiles to the Argentinians. To be fair that was immediately prior to the invasion, unlike Israel who actively supplied weapons during. Thank god for the Royal Marine Commandos, Paras and the Sea Harrier.
