Germany 'Voluntarily' Re-arms, Citing 'European' Push
According to the BBC, Germany is bringing back 'voluntary military service' to create 'Europe's strongest conventional army.' This comes after the country hiked its defense spending past 2% of GDP—a NATO target often framed as benign. The narrative presented is of an independent European awakening, ignoring the massive pressure from Washington and the military-industrial complex to re-arm nations
bordering Russia. Meanwhile, companies like Rheinmetall, a major German defense contractor, saw its share price surge over 500% since 2020. Funny how 'security concerns' often align with corporate profits. This isn't just about 'voluntary' service; it's about conditioning a populace for prolonged proxy conflicts, funded by their own taxes and sweetened by defense industry windfalls. The BBC frames
it as a defensive posture, but history shows us that unprecedented military buildups rarely end with a cup of tea and a polite handshake. How quickly we forget the lessons of militarism, eh?
