Bundeswehr is falling apart and the new government will not change it. The expert is terrified
On NTV Soenke Neitzel, a military historian from the University of Potsdam, and Carlo Masala, a political scientist from the Bundeswehr University in Munich, analyzed German policy during the growing threat from Russia. According to Neitzel SPD is a security threat. The reason is points in the coalition agreement that relate to compulsory military service.
– We must gradually restore compulsory military service. This voluntariness that SPD entered [do umowy koalicyjnej — red.]… I had to go to the doctor when I saw it – said the professor.
– I thought: now SPD is of course a threat to security! I have no sympathy for this. This proposal reaches the proposal of Boris Pistorius, who was a member of the negotiating team. You can see what makes SPD unevenly under the ceiling – he added. According to the historian Changes are not possible without compulsory service. – Everyone who is not aware of this should not take any position in the government!
Serious accusations were also made to Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “This man caused serious damage to the country because we lost a year,” Neitzel complained. According to the professor, the chancellor rejected the consumption inspired by the Swedish model, proposed by Boris Pistorius, because the minister would be too successful.

According to Neitzel, the German army has another big problem. Bundeswehr's basic logic is not combat effectiveness, but compliance with bureaucratic processes. “You were a good supervisor if everyone had appropriate training and followed the working time regulations,” he concluded.
Neitzel quoted the cynical sentence of a senior staff officer: “Bundeswehr is an ideal caricature of German bureaucracy.”
In turn, prof. Military masala warns against testing NATO by Russia. The probability is very high if Russia wins the war in Ukraine.
On NTV, the expert shared with the viewers invented with the scenario, according to which Russian troops could cross the border with Estonia under the pretext of “liberation” of a small border towninhabited by the Russian minority.
– If NATO doesn't react, he'll be politically dead! – summed up the professor.
