This would be much more concerning if they hadn't so thoroughly stamped out fascism. What's the alternative for Germany?

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 80 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fascism is back on the rise there, unfortunately.

stamped out fascism

Alternative for Germany (Deutschland)

Fascism was never stamped out. Wall street supported it heavily and now they fully control the us political and military machine. We came full circle. The nazi’s didnt loose the war their ideology infected those with control today. Central banks funded the third reich and those same financial institutions are still empowered and playing a part today. War and genocide / eugenics is a part of their business model.

I can’t tell if that’s a lucky coincidence or a reference, but the Alternative for Germany (AfD) are the biggest voices in support of fascism in Germany, and they just won 20% of the seats in parliament. Luckily, even the CXU won’t form a coalition with them yet, so they will hopefully not have much impact on things.

Ironically, the AfD doesn’t want to militarize against Russia (but don’t be too reassured, they do want to reinstate mandatory conscription and militarize generally, just not against daddy Putin)

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago

AfD is a nazi party. With tied to Blood and Honor, Proud Boys, constantly yelling nazi quotes, nazi saluting in private and small meetings, copying their rethoric and imagin aso

Poland has been pouring everything into their military, they are VERY ready for this to all go sideways. I can't blame them.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah they have a history of things going sideways around them given the location

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Also the location of Poland was going sideways multiple times in history

It reminds me of an old Polish joke:

A Pole finds a magic lamp, strokes it, and a genie comes out.

"I will grant you three wishes. They can be anything your heart desire."

"I wish for the Mongols to invade Poland!'

"Ok? It is done"

The Mongol hordes sweep through Poland, ransack the country, then go back the way they came.

"I am ready for my second wish. I want the Mongols to invade Poland again!"

"Are you sure? I can give you anything your heart wishes."

"Yes. I am sure"

The Mongols come again, do some more pillaging, and return home.

"And now for my third wish. I want the Mongol hordes to invade Poland a third time."

"Are you really sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Before I grant you your wish, would you mind explaining me why you would want that not once but thrice?"

"It's very simple: Whenever the Mongols come to Poland they have to cross Russia twice!"

The US really is just this hateful polish guy. A solid 35% of americans would happily raze our own country than let one poor person have a subsidized lunch.

They're allowed to take out one German tank with light cavalry, for old time's sake.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 44 points 1 month ago (12 children)

You know...as the battlefield becomes ever more automated, there might be a very brief window where the winged hussars could make a comeback.

Let's say you have a battlefield riddled with smart drones. They have image recognition and immediately attack anything resembling a tank or other military asset. Do you think anyone bothered to program the drones to seek out and attack a unit outfit like 18th century Polish cavalry? A charge on horseback just might be able to ride completely undisturbed through the right kind of drone-controlled battlefield.

[–] CommissarVulpin@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

Ukranian drones are already equipped to target the latest Russian logistic vehicles, donkeys.

You guys have the most experience with that sort of thing

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago

It kind of reminds me of Terminator 2; where its essentially the exact same story is T1 except this time the previous bad guy is the good guy.

Let's make sure to start the campaign in autumn so we are deep inside Russia during the coldest parts of winter. Let's also make sure to only take light summer clothing.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (3 children)

That sort of idea seems great when everyone is taking Pervitin all the time.

Pervitin, the brand name that Meth was originally sold under.

I know its a joke but just to note: I'd love to see Germany "march through Poland" given the poor state of Germany's armed forces. As it is rn, Poland alone could most likely reach Russia's heart in a couple of weeks of conventional warfare and debilitate Russian critical infrastructure long before that. Barring nukes of course, which is basically all the Kremlin would have to hang on to in a full out direct confrontation given just how incompetent their armed forces have proven to be.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I'll have you know that we are perfectly capable to march through allied territory... as long as they have well developed infrastructure

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

...which complicates marching through Germany
