The German elite wants to rebuild the strongest army in Europe. It was this kind of megalomania that drove us into 2 world wars! Are we going to allow it & pay with loss of social security and lives?

...or do we defend ourselves and join forces to make the country peaceful and not war-mongering? There is still time, but the propaganda machine is hammering away at us citizens every hour. What can we do to stop this elite? The propaganda ploy that is once again being used to justify a deliberate war was revealed by the National Socialist Göring after the war: (Englisch: "Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. […] [V]oice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Gustave Mark Gilbert: Nuremberg Diary, Farrar, Straus and Company, New York 1947, p. 278–279 books.google, Hermann Göring – Wikiquote)

A few days ago, the new federal government presented its plans in the Bundestag. An important point was security in Europe, including its own defence spending. Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) announced that Germany should have the strongest conventional army in Europe, while Defence Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) called for better equipment for the Bundeswehr and his new military service, which is initially intended to provide more young people with basic military service without compulsory service. And Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul (CDU) supported US President Donald Trump's demand to more than double defence spending from the current 2 per cent of economic output to up to 5 per cent in the long term.
