German Defense Minister Vows To Make Germany The "Backbone" Of Europe's Defense

 

DW: Germany to make military 'the backbone' of Europe's defense  

Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said it was time for Germany to be "a grown up country" in terms of security policy. Pistorius said Russia's war against Ukraine had altered the role of Germany and the Bundeswehr. 

Germany plans to accelerate reforms of its military bureaucracy as part of an ongoing overhaul of the country's military, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius outlined in a document presented on Thursday in Berlin. The revamp of the military seeks to make the force more capable of defending Germany and its allies.

Whatever. It's still all talk and we have all heard it before.

Nothing left in Germany but a bunch of effeminate pussies and third world immigrants who don’t give a shit about the country. Much like Canada and the US. I was stationed there for over two years. It’ll never be as great as it once was.

Every academic major or profession has analytical methods. Some better than others. We have seen where concepts form STEM like center of gravity and intersection (Libtards luv that one to death) have been coopted or are loan concepts.

Well here is a loan concept from structural science or material science. Take a map and determine the correct "mesh" size. Look at it on a per person per square mile per country basis.

Sick and tired of semi-tough semi-intelligent people opining about the Balkans being the cockpit of Europe or the Middle East being the cockpit, yada, yada, yada.

There seems to be a lot of cockpits around the world.

Are there more cockpits in the world or supervolcanos? There is about 2 dozen of supervolcanos.

Would Central America be considered a cockpit? How about the tri border region of south America by Iguacu? Rift Valley in Africa? SE Asia.

The line delineating of when WNU knows what he is talking about and when he is talking shit is becoming better and better delineated.

Germany's citizens are as tattooed, pierced and drug-ridden as the United States and its Zoomer population, raised on the filth of the internet, are damaged beyond hope of restoration and not capable of forming an effective military. Germany is dreaming if it thinks it can turn its decadent young population into a disciplined fighting force. Perhaps they may be capable of sitting behind the lines and directing drones and other robots in combat, pretending they are video games, but certainly not actual combat.

What Hans said.

The last 2 or 3 defense ministers before this one were not serious defense ministers IMO. You could argue the Generalist Versus Specialist "CEO". that as a generalist leader they did not have to have any sort of defense background. That there are still back and forths about generalist versus specialist CEOs proves it is a valid argument.

How the last 2 or 3 defense ministers allowed the the military to become deficient and did not sound the alarm or rock the boat. I get it, boat rockers are thrown overboard and sometimes they should be. But if they first sounded the alarm and waited a decent amount of time before rocking the boat, clipping their career would be faithless execution of public duties.

Two chancellors have been faithless in the execution of their duties to providing a defense. One because they were a fellow traveller or spy and the other because they are gutless unless it is an internecine political fight.

Throw away all that intellectual cockpit crap. It is a bunch of gobblty goo that no one can understand and it does not work anyway.

Here is what needs to happen!!

The Krauts need to man up and admit they were wrong and now the Ukies are right. The AZOV Bn needs to be the new model.

Bring back what worked the past!!!

I mean, Whats not to like?

Nice black uniforms. Guys who have their shit Locked tight and they can fight!!!

Look. Guys like Felix Steiner, Paul Hausser, Sepp Dietrich , Not to mention that European favorite Leon DeGrelle or our Canadian buddy Karl (panzer) Meyer!!

What a great group of guys and boy could they fight! I just know that the AZOV and Kraken guys would vouch for them.

All kidding aside, German culture is weak and perverted / maybe worse than the US.

The ghosts of the fallen are not coming back to help them. Even if they did, the current woke rabble would reject them.

Ukraine will be defeated.

70 years later: Baumholder military, civilian community ties still strong

But, but I thought Germany was occupied! The Germans I know never said they were occupied.

You would get that from the precious darling on campus. They are also the same ones, who are into "Just Stop Oil" and who sing "From the river to the Sea"


Ptest signs and Cause Heads 2:38 mark That is about how stupid it is. Except now it is worse. There is so much dark money funneled into campus. Soros and tall the other evil dudes went upstream.

Yes that is true but back than the majority of Germans was ethnic germans the demographics have changed since than not only in Germany but the rest of Europe too the vast majority of men is just not that eager to engage in wars

Hans Persson said...

And do you know why?

Anonymous said...

Why?

An obvious one is that people do not believe or will not allow their leaders to wage wars of aggression.

Unfortunately, yellow journalism is still a problem.

Ever since they made patriotism look stupid and nationalism a nazi word. I grew up with people that were thought that just sitting on our Swedish flag was a crime to now just the thought process to wave said flag is rasist.

Now you just get shamed and that's what people are waking up to, the ones that still care. Now were importing pride, but for other countries. Just being white now is bad and that's what we keep hearing year after year. Gaslighting us into self-brainwashing.
Why would you die for that? Nobody cares anymore and that's why were on a decline.

Hans Persson said...

As said before, I've witnessed army recruits in the subway of our fine capitol being mocked just for being recruits. Why would you wanna put yourself thru that?

Hans Persson said...

And to finish this up; no leftie is going to volunteer to the army because they already think their own country is the bad guy.

3 decades ago I was on a bike path jogging in sweats with a military logo. It is what I had. Not going to buy extra while going through school. Pass by 2 walkers and a 50-ish white lady comments "You're one of those." I was floored. My attitude now is to duck and not yell fore, when a golf ball or something with more energy is incoming.

You should not go in the military unless you have a good idea of the job you want after your time is up. Be it for a government job or a civilian job.

Before that I was looking out for spitters. There were none, but people with only a few more years than me in service said it happened in the v4ery recent past. of course their once great American city is now a shit hole and literally has shit maps. Live your philosophy and meet your karma.
