The focus is more on superior firepower through artillery and air power, and shock troops built around armored and mechanized divisions manned by veteran/professional career soldiers

You'll notice it's also nearly the same doctrine that Russian armed forces have in Ukraine - artillery dominance, select groups of professional assault troops. Likewise with the airforce - Russian airspace force is very professionally oriented. It's actually an issue, because it takes a lot of time and effort to train a pilot for Ka-52 for example. Heck, I don't know of any modern army that relies on "massive amounts of simple grunt infantry", as you put it. So I'm not sure where you are getting that this was suggestion.

But consider this: an M777 howitzer (used widely by Ukraine right now) has a minimum crew of 5, and a nominal crew of 9 + 1 driver. So that's 5 people at least, who each must receive at least one set of uniform (strictly speaking more, as per military regulations, but we're talking imaginary scenario here). That would be proper fabrics with regulation paint scheme, boots, socks, undershirts, etc. Since we're talking a war in EU, they'd also need a separate set of winter gear. Plus food, which must be manufactured, and logistics to get it to the actual troops. Five people, on some both basic and essential as a howitzer. Do you are where I'm going? And we haven't even looked at ammunition for the gun, spare parts, spare barrels, etc. And for artillery to function you also need recon of some kind - drones or forward observation troops. Radios. More uniforms, food, logistics.

That's what I meant by "equipping many people". There's zero need for any imaginary "human wave" for the task to become difficult, just economy. Takes a village to arm a soldier.

"Coincidence" my ass

Is that the one with pedo rapist commander, or was that Tornado?

Does anyone have good sources on Germany's involvement in NATO spy system?

Think they're abusing this specific dog as well?

Can USA equip them all tho? Just look at last year's limited mobilization in Russia. There's a reason it was "limited", and it wasn't because more people weren't needed - our MoD had simply crunched some numbers and counted how many people it could realistically gear up. Even then there's been plenty of reports (from pro-russian sources!) about relatives of mobiks buying stuff for them with their own money We're talking night vision, body armour, small drones, etc

Wonder if that was ever used as an argument to call the Nordics "socialist"

A war between NATO and Russia would 90% turn nuclear and then conscription would be the least of our worries

And it seems the citizens believe it to be a protection of democracy

In Ukraine? No idea. Normally paying off the commissariat would probably be the solution, but now it likely won't fly. Not living where you're registered might be a start though

I don't disagree with what you have said (for obvious reasons), but out of curiosity - why did USA fight other fascists in that case? Imperial Japan was likely due to wanting control of Pacific region. What about the Nazis?

I'd imagine this kind of questions arise sooner or later in discussion with USians in regards to their country's behaviour and state

Makes me wonder what we aren't hearing about. We already know about pedophilia island, the blood transfusions, surrogate motherhood industry. Now this. What else is there?

Send it to a German fellow I know, he called it ragebait and dismissed the org as "originating from DDR as a youth org brainwashing children for totalitarian regime".

Welp.

how to manage a normal passenger rail line

Management is indeed a different issue from building. Germany builds (or at least used to build) passenger trains - Siemens worked in conjunction with Russian railway and underground to create trains currently running in and around Moscow.

But ask any German about the Bahn and you'll see steam coming out of their noses.

Do they have a looking-very-much-like-a-nazi eagle on purpose?

Looked up that brand and wtf is that emblem?

I'm almost sure I've heard this before, but so far only from fringe groups

"Why, defending his beloved homeland and democratic values against the totalitarian commies who were raping their way to Berlin!" - a disturbing amount of people

Wonder if Isaac here knows his name is of Semitic origin
