        because germany is on the brink of a fully fascist takeover and the military industry wants to be already ready when the moment comes

        https://dawum.de/Sachsen-Anhalt/ - afd in a federal state that votes in 4 months at nearly 50% absolute, but bcs parties under 5% dont make it into the parliament, it means the seats are spread proportionally among the remainig partirs, meaning if only 2 parties dont make the 5%, afd has absolute majority in the parliament

        https://dawum.de/AfD/ - on a federal level, afd has taken over the conservative party, while still far from absolute majority, the nsdap under hitler also didnt have absolute majority twice. and we know how that went

            the war in ukraine has no german soldiers, and germany said they wont send german soldiers in, and the military industry already profits from it by selling their shit to ukraine.

            so compulsary military service has nothing to do with ukraine, so the only other reason to have it is to build up the german army for its own usage.

            if anything, the afd would deploy german troops on the side of russia, bcs oligarchic cunts recognize oligarchic cunts

              Conscription is a hindrance to joining wars far away. By and large, a country’s citizens do not want to go to war outside its borders. On the other hand, countries with professional militaries are relatively free to conduct warfare abroad without the populace getting angry, see the US.

              Also, like, the absence of a direct causal link does not mean two things have nothing to do with each other.
