Germany rearms: third time's the charm, or a smokescreen?
"Let the bald guy go first" sums up the skepticism on Burbuja.info about Friedrich Merz's rearmament plan. As the German chancellor announces the biggest military spending since World War II, his popularity has plummeted 80% and the forum has already passed judgment: Germany has neither the demographics nor the economy for another continental war.
The bald man who wants tanks but not votes
Merz, a former BlackRock executive, has tied his rearmament plan to a package of tax hikes on the rich and corporations, but the forum doesn't buy it. "Signing up to arm themselves to the teeth is taking its toll on him," writes Arturo Bloqueduro, citing a poll by La Razón. The skepticism covers everything: from those who see Merz as a US puppet to those who recall that "in both wars they had to become a world power with a booming economy." Today, Germany is "in full economic decline and sarracena sunk," according to husmeando. The contradiction is obvious: how is a country that is losing 30 million inhabitants and where 60% of the population will be Turkish by 2050 going to drag Europe into a war?
The ghosts of 1914 and 1939
The debate heats up with historical references. From the user asking for "20 F35s with nuclear weapons to drop them at the right moment" to the one who proclaims that "German reunification should never have been allowed." Colonel Pedro Baños, described as "Pilingui's loudest mouthpiece in Spain," is the spark for the thread with a video many consider pro-Russian propaganda. The community is split between those who believe Germany is seeking its third war and those who think it is a smokescreen from "New York and London" to stir things up again. "Germany can be defended by its damn mother," dragon33 blurts out. "If it wants trouble with Russia, let it sort it out itself."
The figure nobody disputes: 90 billion in drones
Forumer ddeltonin drops a figure that runs through the thread: the EU is going to pour 90 billion euros into drones to smash them against Russia. Meanwhile, Merz proposes recruiting young people with a voluntary program that many see as the first step toward compulsory military service. "All they want is to kill the 4 white people left in Europe to finish the replacement," Gorrión concludes, in a sample of the theories crossing the thread.
The debate remains open: is Germany really willing to fight a war it cannot afford, or is it all posturing to justify control of the EU? The forum is clear: "Screw them, for being effeminate."
