Setting the stage while Western Europe sleeps.

Read something on reddit which was concerning.

1. Baltic countries (and now Poland) started working on defensive line along Russian and Belarus borders

2. France started openly speaking about sending troops to Ukraine for "training" (that's how US started sending troops to Vietnam, and how Russia started sending troops to Korea)

3. And now Germany wants to conscript EVERY kid from high school, both men and women.

4. House Speaker Mike Johnson suddenly risked his career to send $61 billion in aid to Ukraine.

Clearly something has changed in the past few months. Even Japan/Korea have been more open about their anti Russia stance recently.

About 3: it was a normal procedure until 2011 that we took part in the "Wehrdienst" after school. Now people go crazy because we would go back to something which was standard just 13 years ago? And it's not only about Russia, Germany's Bundeswehr just got much weaker over the years and there clearly needs to be done something. As example two of my brothers ended as "professional soldiers" just because of this mendatory Wehrdienst after school which showed them that this is something they want to do as job. They probably would have never started a career as full time soldiers if there wouldn't have been the Wehrdienst to show them that this is something for them.

And it won't be mendatory for every kid from man to woman to go to the Bundeswehr. The alternative would be to help as example in a retirement home, workshop for disabled, hospital and so on...also something which was standard in Germany just 13 years ago

There are btw three models right now and the favored one excludes woman except those who sign up by their own.
