Not if you were drafted against your will.

@bujinkanatori No, it is certainly not.

What makes you think that this is up to Germany in the first place? Germany is, for all practical purposes, Europe's demilitarized zone. The Bundeswehr is more of a moral support system than an army. And that is how it should be. The last time Germany was strong it didn't end well for anybody.

@Andreas-d7d I didn't say that Germany isn't supporting Ukraine. It certainly is, but people who expect Germany to take an active military role in Europe similar to the role of the US at the worldwide stage are painfully unaware of the historical context. Germany still has the military industrial might and the necessary population size to dominate locally, but that does not mean that it will or that it should.

Russian communism was, at the end of the day, just a variation on Russian nationalism. Nothing has really changed since the days of the Tsars. Russians think of themselves as a superior race and their leadership will always exploit that.

Biden may be a lot of things, but he does not look like a fearful old man. I would suggest you take a really good look at the level of destruction that this war has been unleashing on Russia. They now have over 600,000 killed and wounded, lost a sizable portion of their cold war weapons arsenal and the bleeding won't stop. By mid next year Russia will be well into a million casualties and it will have lost most of its weapons. That is the strategy behind the US and NATO actions. Drag this out and make Russia pay an impossible price. We the people are not guilty by anything. Neither is Biden. The only guilty parties here are Vladimir Putin and his henchmen.

Joe Biden started this war? Dude, are you OK? :-)

I do understand your sentiment on some level, but let me remind you what happened the last time Germany was a "leading" nation. That didn't go so well for Europe and Germany TWICE. As a consequence the German government has been preaching "Friede, Freude, Eierkuchen" (peace, joy, egg cake) to multiple generations of German students in public schools. That educational campaign actually worked really well. So, yes, now you have a VERY peace loving nation in the center of Europe that will be extremely hard to convince that it should be sending its soldiers into another war with Russia. You may also have noticed that the immigration question has been driving German right wing nationalists (aka Nazis) to the polls lately. The problem with right wing German nationalists is that they don't see right wing Swedish nationalists like yourself as equals. They may see you as a means to an end, just like they saw right win Italian nationalist in WW II as canon fodder, but that's as much as you can hope for. To these people you are still an Untermensch, no matter how much you may think otherwise. So, yeah, I would not advise Europe to wake den Deutschen Drachen. Nothing good will come from it.
