 Germany's Military Rearmament: Echoes of History In Conflict With Russia

In a provocative strategic shift, Germany is dramatically expanding its military involvement, deploying advanced autonomous drone technology that signals a profound transformation of its post-World War II military doctrine. The deployment represents more than technological innovation—it's a geopolitical statement laden with historical weight.

These AI-equipped micro-drones symbolize Germany's most significant military commitment since the Second World War, breaking decades of strategic restraint. The autonomous systems, capable of independent targeting, mark a controversial escalation that resurrects uncomfortable memories of Germany's military past.

The Europeans are trying hard to escalate now that the next US government will start negociating peace soon. Europe needs russian reparations to deal with its fiscal disaster.

 Ghost you in Germany? I notice lots of German analysis. Not trying to dox you just curious. 
 I am german, living in Spain and Greece 
 That's the life... I need to get to that style of living 
 i am australian, living in madeira after most of 12 years in eastern europe... and i want to go to the prairies

europe sucks

though oddly enough the supermarket near me sells actual uraguay beef and beef patties, not teh usual veal shit like everywhere else

makes me wonder... perhaps this is common outside of the dense population in europe... lots of old trad guys who are like "what the fuck is this veal bro?" 
 Uruguay is a good candidate to move to. If I'm not confusing it with Paraguay... Entirely possible. Living near ranchers is a good strategy for quality of life. 
 the meat is fantastic

and yes

i'm very inclined to see this as a good razor for whether a place is good to move to... no beef, no good food 
 Nice choice 
 it was simply what was in the freezer... giant 9 pound slab, not sure, i think picanha cut, over the rump at the top in front of the tatil 
 I was lucky. I could pass my media agency to my sister because I found this crazy 'crypto' that only mafia bosses use some years ago and switched my financial life. Choosing projects now that I really like is luxury 
 Nice. I have a partial German background and I’m equally concerned about their future. My cousin in law is stacking in Germany, so there is hope!

Keep up the great work. Really learning and enjoying your work. 
 Good morning,
thank You, that's kind of You.
Have a wonderful day👋👋 
 Autonomous... Independent targeting? If that's not a war crime, idk what is.

Deploying AI as weapons should be considered equivalent to genocide.
