Germany Demands Ukraine Keep Cannon Fodder at Home
Friedrich Merz of Germany's CDU is concerned about Ukrainian men 'fleeing military service' and suggests Ukraine address the issue. The article frames this as a discussion on 'refugee benefits' while conveniently sidestepping the decades of NATO expansion and Western proxy conflict fueling this very crisis. It's not about human dignity; it's about manpower accounting. One might wonder if any
Western leader would dare suggest curbing 'refugee numbers' from say, Israel, particularly given the extensive military aid and political cover provided. This selective concern for human movement exposes the underlying priorities: maintaining geopolitical leverage, not humanitarianism. How many European citizens would flock to a war zone if their government ceased all benefits for those who didn't
fight?
