Keeping the war in eastern Europe away from NATO borders is one of the German Bundeswehr’s jobs. An armored battalion from Thuringia is one of the spearheads of NATO’s rapid reaction force responsible for defending member nation Lithuania, in the event of an emergency.
"The squad can fight any opponent. But I hope it’ll never have to do that.” This is how the commander of the 10th Armored Division of the Bundeswehr, Major General Ruprecht von Butler, assessed the performance of the Thuringian armored unit after inspecting their exercises on Lüneburg Heath.
The armored battalion 393 from Bad Frankenhausen carried out a combat shooting exercise over several days, here. They used 30 modern Leopard 2 main battle tanks, supported by 14 Puma infantry fighting vehicles from a Bavarian battalion. The General’s praise was aimed at the core fighting force of NATO’s Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF). This must be ready for fast deployment: They have two to seven days to be ready to counter a potential aggressor anywhere in the Alliance’s territory. The task force numbers some 10,000 soldiers from eight NATO states - among them many from Thuringia and Saxony.
The film observes the task force during their training exercises in Germany. The film also records a NATO maneuver in May 2023, on the Italian island of Sardinia. But attention is being drawn to eastern Europe . That region is the focus for NATO strategists. This is due to Russia’s war in Ukraine, a conflict that’s now been going on for more than two years. Here on the eastern flank - NATO’s official name for the region - armored infantry from Bad Salzungen in Thuringia have been deployed since mid-2023. They’re part of NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence or EFP battlegroup responsible for defending the Baltic country of Lithuania.

Ex British soldier who spent 7 very happy years of his 16 years of service in Germany. Now it's Germany's turn to be based elsewhere in case the unthinkable becomes a reality. I hope the Bundeswehr youngsters deploying get everythng they deserve to be getting from their politicians back in the safety of Berlin. Munitions/food/fuel/weaponry/funds for training/repairs and most of all if and when these fine young Germans need to deploy for the real thing those same politicians don't suddenly lose their sense of duty toward their soldiers. They deserve the very best their country can offer them and that has to include the loyalties of thier political leaders. German soldiers have never been in doubt they will always do their duty and do it well. German political leaders rarely inspire confidence however.

A few days ago, the Irish government announced a shocking plan to build an unbelievable 300,000 social houses and apartments over the next five years, and it intends to allocate EUR 20 billion (CZK 500 billion) for their construction. The aim of the plan is for no Irishman to be without an apartment. Ireland, a non-NATO member, has also announced that it will spend only 0.5% of Ireland's GDP on armaments. According to the newly adopted Fiala Act, the Czech Republic spends 2% of GDP on armaments. If the Czech Republic spent 0.5% of GDP on armaments, as Ireland did, there would be CZK 120 billion left in the state budget

@@Rammbukk My point is... just as in WWII it was not ideology, fascism, communism or liberal democracy that was a deciding factor, but force and strength... and the fact that the British, US and other armies puts woke and political correctness before strength gives advantage to the Russians who are now free from Bolshevik ideology. Another example... the Dutch army has to be 50% male/female for idrological reasons.... an army that is 100% male will have the advantage

@Rammbukk 11 күн бұрын

@@clavichord Yeah, well, I mean ideologies are ideologies, not guns and tanks. The "British, US and other armies" does not put political correctness before strength. The Dutch Armed Forces does not have to be 50% male/female. An army that is 100% male sounds like an army that does not let females enter, thus not letting all skilled personnel who want to serve in, and does not consider working environment to it's full potential. So no, i think a forced 100% male army is not better.

The EFP is a tripwire force, it acts as a deterrent not because it will be able to hold off a Russian assault alone, but because it means any Russian attack will also mean killing German, Belgian, Norwegian, American ect ect. troops. This means those countries have an impetus to retaliate which if they do, almost guarantees the failure of any Russian operation. The end result is that Russia is effectively deterred.

Якщо я перебуваю в південній півкулі та спостерігаю за планетами, які обертаються за годинниковою стрілкою чи проти годинникової стрілки, хто визначає, який напрямок є правильним? У південній півкулі, коли дивишся на планети, їхній видимий рух зазвичай буде проти годинникової стрілки. Це тому, що Земля обертається проти годинникової стрілки, якщо дивитися на неї з Північного полюса, що змушує зірки та планети виглядати так, ніби вони рухаються в протилежному напрямку. Щодо визначення, який напрямок є "правильним", в астрономії немає поняття правильності стосовно напрямку обертання планет. Все залежить від точки зору. Напрямок обертання планети визначається її власною віссю обертання, що може бути за годинниковою стрілкою або проти годинникової стрілки, якщо дивитися з Північного полюса планети. Це не залежить від обертання Землі або точки зору конкретного спостерігача. Розуміння глобальних конфліктів через планетарні перспективи Вступ: Спостереження за Сонячною системою з різних квадрантів Землі пропонує просту, але глибоку аналогію для розуміння глобальних конфліктів. Як і напрямок обертання планет, який виглядає по-різному з різних точок на Землі, конфлікти формуються унікальними історичними, культурними та геополітичними перспективами. У цьому інформаційному бюлетені ми досліджуємо, як прийняття різноманітних точок зору може привести до вирішення складних світових конфліктів. Спостереження за обертанням планет: У південній півкулі планети виглядають такими, що рухаються проти годинникової стрілки, тоді як у північній півкулі вони виглядають такими, що рухаються за годинниковою стрілкою. Це просте спостереження демонструє, як точки зору можуть відрізнятися в залежності від перспективи спостерігача. Застосування аналогії: Територіальні суперечки: Подібно до спостереження за рухом планет, територіальні суперечки, такі як ті, що в Південно-Китайському морі, вимагають визнання множинних точок зору. Розуміючи історичні та геополітичні погляди кожної сторони, ми можемо працювати над взаємоприйнятними рішеннями, які поважають суверенітет і сприяють стабільності. Політичні ідеології: Конфлікти, що кореняться в політичних ідеологіях, часто виникають через різні погляди на управління та права людини. Завдяки конструктивному діалогу та розумінню цінностей і прагнень кожної сторони, ми можемо знайти спільні точки дотику та створити структури, що поважають демократичні принципи, водночас враховуючи питання безпеки. Розподіл ресурсів: Розбіжності щодо розподілу ресурсів підкреслюють необхідність сталих і справедливих рішень. Враховуючи екологічні наслідки та справедливий розподіл ресурсів, ми можемо зменшити конфлікти та сприяти співпраці на благо всіх. Культурні та релігійні відмінності: Культурні та релігійні конфлікти підкреслюють важливість поваги до різноманітних вірувань та практик. Завдяки сприянню взаєморозумінню та терпимості, ми можемо подолати розбіжності та побудувати мирне співіснування. Історичні наративи: Конфліктуючі історичні наративи часто підживлюють ворожнечу між народами. Визнаючи минулі образи та прагнучи до примирення, ми можемо прокласти шлях до зцілення та побудови спільного майбутнього, заснованого на взаємоповазі та розумінні. Висновок: Спостерігаючи за обертанням Сонячної системи з різних точок зору, давайте пам’ятати, що прийняття різноманітних точок зору не є ознакою слабкості, а шляхом до сили та стійкості. Прагнучи зрозуміти точки зору одне одного та працюючи над досягненням спільних цілей, ми можемо побудувати більш мирний та інклюзивний світ для майбутніх поколінь.

Ukraine/Gross domestic product (2021) 199.8 billion USD (2021) In addition to the aid provided by the USA, other Western states also provide aid to Ukraine. It is estimated that the total amount of Western aid provided directly to Ukraine in the last year exceeded 150 billion dollars. Almost all of this aid consists of military equipment and ammunition. At current prices, the defense expenditure of the USA in 2022 is 821 billion dollars, followed by the UK with 67.7 billion dollars, Germany with 60.9 billion dollars, France with 52.4 billion dollars, Italy with 30.4 billion dollars and 28.1 billion dollars. Canada followed with dollar. UK Germany France Italy total ammount 67 + 60 + 52 + 30 = around 210 billiom dollars but Ukraine is asking nato soldiers now.
