I've noticed a major uptick in Russia scaremongering recently. I think it's lining up with upcoming elections in the UK and US. Usher in the strongmen.
Here's some excerpts from warhawk Daniel Johnson:
- In the UK, only 18% of millennials would be willing to fight for their country.
In Germany,
- He {Pistorius} warned recruits in Hamburg that peace in Europe was "no longer an irrefutable certainty" and asked: "Are we seriously ready to defend this country in an emergency?" Raising the possibility of reintroducing conscription, he continued: "And who is this we? This debate has to be had."
Pictured: scum
(with an iron cross? It can't be, right? I'm not expert but I'd imagine it's a different symbol)
Then a final absurd note:
- "But a concerted campaign of rearmament, embracing not just Nato but the entire free world, would demonstrate to Putin, Xi Jinping and leaders of other authoritarian regimes that the West is ultimately invincible."
Cope and seethe
- "Now it is time to show that the West - including all who share our values - is capable of dealing not only with pirates who threaten trade routes but with dictators who threaten humanity. If we cherish the peace that has prevailed over most of mankind since 1945, we owe it to posterity to prepare for war."
Most of mankind... What a blatantly false idea. Western economic satellites have been in constant war.
- "The Anglo-American naval action in the Red Sea is a reminder that only the West cares about preserving peace and the rule of law. We are very efficient at dealing with the likes of the Houthis."
We must ensure peace!! How? Spend more money on weapons!! Rule of law! This journalist should be exiled to Palestine with immediate effect.
'very efficient at dealing with the likes of the Houthis'... and then the next suggested article is
Fascists will do anything but make their nation desirable enough to care for / honourable enough to die for.
Guys I know the economic and climate situation is so bad that none of you can ever afford to own your own homes and you have to live in mould infested "apartments" (read: house conversions) while getting paid wages that haven't increased since 2010, and if you somehow manage to succeed, your children will have to fight in the climate wars, and we aren't doing anything to make any of this any better, but please 1) get married and start a family and 2) fight my next war for me.
Ikr, who's going to line up to be vaporized by a hypersonic missile to protect a way of life that's been widely understood to be plastic and fake since the 50's? What's the rallying cry? Dulce et decorum est pro funko pops mori
No take only throw but it's no society only die
