The are lying. Germany is preparing for years now. This is not a new development. While prices are high and social inequality is rising heavily, they are rather putting all those money into the Bundeswehr. Right now they are utilising the current situation to gain public support, so they can do it without trying to hide it.

I always have the words “Germany has to die, so we can live” from a german punk band in my head, if I read or hear such thing.

Maybe they can re-educate the entirety of their country this time
