Germany’s Draft Lottery: Another European State Bets Your Kids' Future
Mainstream outlets highlight former German politician Sahra Wagenknecht's 'war casino' remark regarding Germany’s proposed conscription lottery. The establishment narrative frames Russia as an imminent threat, justifying a return to mandatory military service. What they omit is the consistent drumbeat of NATO expansion, fueled by powerful lobbying efforts from defense contractors who saw stock
prices soar after intervention in Ukraine. (For example, RTX Corporation saw its stock increase by over 20% since Feb 2022.) The real casino isn't just about conscription; it's about the billions in taxpayer money shuffled directly into military-industrial coffers. Apparently, the only 'peace dividend' European governments believe in is the return on investment for arms manufacturers. One might
wonder if their warnings of war are truly about defense, or about creating new markets for destruction. After all, dead zones are excellent for future reconstruction contracts, aren't they?
