Germany has had a decade of DEI women in the position of defense minister before they appointed another muh huwhite male when shit hit the fan.
Fun fact: Von der Leyen was one of them before she got "promoted" to the EU because she was so incompetent as a German minister.
Who's just as useless but has enough brain cells to not act like a complete idiot in public. The German military has been on a downward spiral for more than three decades.
The Bundeswehr has the best uniforms for pregnant tank crews in the world!
... Is this a reference to something in particular? Because if it is, I'd be very curious to see it.
It's a reference to reality.
I think it's a vague reference to how the Nazis made good uniforms.
Germans.. now its your time to take back your country with a hot civil war. Trump and us wont bomb you. The german military is at its weakest with incompetent/DEI hires, all excess equipment sent to ukraine and troop numbers is at the lowest its ever been.
You might not have another chance to do this.
The fuck are they doing with them?
Keeping them handy to suppress a civilian uprising should they finally reach their breaking point watching muslims run their children down in the street.
Reminds me of when Bathhouse Barry was buying up all the ammo.
Sounds like most gamers who hold onto all those elixirs they find and then never even use them for the final boss.
We don't have any.
A year or so ago the German navy sent a few ships to protect shipping vessels from Houthi attacks. After a training exercise down there they realized they had to go back home because they ran out of ammo and had no stocks to resupply.
Another fun story from around that time: Germany wanted to donate Soviet era weapons to Ukraine. However, when they wanted to take them out of storage they realized they were all moldy and couldn't be handled without hazmat suits.
What little functional weaponry we had we already gave to Ukraine.
Meanwhile they splurged on new parade uniforms, pregnancy uniforms for tank crews and parades for their tranny commander. I wish I was joking.
...forget how morally repugnant that idea even is, how the fuck would a pregnant woman fit in a tank in the first place? isn't space generally at a premium in those things!?!
exactly, so why would you pass the opportunity to fit two crew members in a single seat?
yeah, that sounds like the kinda answer you'd get from a bureaucrat alright, lol.
Yeah, but it lets you do one extra strong shot with the Soul Cannon.
you joke, but the sad part is they'd probably do it if they could...
Norwegian military went on a air quality testing spree after the initial introduction of lead-free 5.56 and the HK416 caused heavy metal poisoning. Long story.
But they also did a lot of testing in tanks and APCs, and the reports basically stated the inside of one of those are unhealthy as fuck. Crews shouldn't even be breathing the air straight when live firing. Not a place anyone pregnant should be hanging out at all.
bet they can find some warehouse stocks if they need to hunt down online antisemites
Last I heard they were using brooms for drills because they didn't have enough rifles for the army.
I've read an article about a decade ago that German soldiers had to use brooms instead of real weapons during training
Edit: Found It
Can we do better, please?
So it's going to be Afghanistan again but this time we give all the equipment to the Russians?
Just to clarify I don't think anyone should stay it's just weird how the west isn't even trying to not lose billions in military equipment.
Maybe the citizens of Europe could lend theirs... Oh right, they disarmed themselves
Thanks, Megatron.
Yall laugh, but I put money into European defense stocks yesterday. They're gonna have to step up their military game now that America isn't coddling them as much as before.
Europe don't have the commodities nor the energy to step up their military game. All they have is the Euro. Pieces of paper. Glorified coupons only redeemable in the EU.
Yeah, but the stocks are still soaring. Ot doesn't matter if nothing of value will be produced, all the stock market cares about is the money that will be funnelled through these companies.
Also Europe doesn't have enough military aged males: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_median_age#CIA_figures
I meant to but didn't get around to it. Thales Group up 26% since last week. RIP.
Regardless of how pathetic the end result we all know it will be, that's still solid planning because they have to do something.
The Russians have effectively disarmed the Europeans without ever setting foot inside their borders. Let's not forget that the Europeans have made no meaningful efforts to step up production to meet the demand of war. They will remain disarmed until something forces them to actually build more plants.
A shame. I wish I could have salvaged some german weapons of interest, but alas - they look like they're all going extinct.
The UK doesn't have the military assets to give further support to Ukraine either no matter what their lip service is
