Germany, every year, is becoming more and more militaristic, and this is yet another new example of this. The chair of the German parliament’s defense committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, says Germany is going to need 900,000 soldiers to defend against Russia. As we read in Yahoo! News:

The chair of the German parliament’s defense committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, called on the country’s armed forces to activate 900,000 German reservists in light of Russia’s threatening policies, the DPA news agency reported on June 1.

Tensions between the West and Russia have been mounting since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The Kremlin has repeatedly issued threats toward Kyiv’s partners over their support for the besieged country.

“(Russian President Vladimir) Putin is training his people for war and positioning them against the West. We must, therefore, become capable of defense as quickly as possible,” Strack-Zimmermann, a member of the co-ruling Free Democratic Party (FDP), said in a comment for the Funke media group published on June 1.

The lawmaker called on the Bundeswehr, Germany’s military, to “activate the roughly 900,000 reservists we have.”

What is this a sign of? The revival of German power, simple as that.
