Why Is Germany Suddenly Forcing All 18-Year-Old Men To Take Mandatory Military Medical Exams?

It appears that Germany is quite serious about getting ready for a war with Russia. Every 18-year-old in Germany is being sent a questionnaire that asks them if they are interested in joining the German military. Responding to the questionnaire is voluntary for women, but it is mandatory for men. For a nation that relentlessly preaches “equality” among the sexes, that seems rather odd. Men that indicate that they have zero interest in joining the German military are not off the hook. Under an ominous new law, all 18-year-old men in Germany must report for mandatory military medical exams to evaluate their fitness for military service.

The German military has confirmed that “all men liable for military service who were born after 31 December 2007” must undergo mandatory military medical exams…

A spokesperson for the Defence Ministry told the BBC that under the law, the obligation to undergo a medical examination applies “to all men liable for military service who were born after 31 December 2007”.

This also applies to people who have stated that they have no interest in compulsory military service. The spokesperson said that since July around 1,000 18-year-old men, who showed no interest in the army, have had the medical exam.

If this was happening in the U.S., there would be massive protests.

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that massive student protests have erupted in Germany.

A wave of anger erupted after a number of 18-year-old German men were ordered to report for their mandatory military medical exams “even though they expressed no interest in joining the army on their registration forms”…

The questionnaire is mandatory for men and voluntary for women. All 18-year-old men will have to take a medical exam to assess their fitness for possible military service.

The organisers of the protests, say the trigger came after some 18-year-olds in the northern German towns of Kiel and Flensburg, were sent official invitations for medical exams, even though they expressed no interest in joining the army on their registration forms.

On Friday, a total of over 45,000 students walked out of school in more than 100 different cities to protest what the German government is doing…

More than 45,000 students across Germany walked out of class on Friday to protest proposals for compulsory military service, after hundreds were summoned for medical exams.

The School Strike Against Conscription initiative said demonstrations took place in more than 100 cities after the German Defense Ministry began calling in 18-year-old men for medical screening. Organizers said hundreds of young men who marked 0 out of 10 for interest in military service were also summoned.

Many of these kids are afraid that they are going to be sent to die on the killing fields of eastern Ukraine.

At a student protest in Hamburg, banners with the words “we won’t take part in your wars” were spotted…

One of the organisers of the strike, Bela Breitner, from School Strike Against Compulsory Military Service said the federal government was “serious about gradually reintroducing compulsory military service”.

At one protest in Hamburg, demonstrators waved flags and held up banners emblazoned with the words “We won’t take part in your wars”.

Tensions between Germany and Russia have greatly escalated over the past few months, and they haven’t been this high since the end of World War II.

Of course if our European allies end up sending ground forces into Ukraine, that will mean all-out war with the Russians.

Speaking about such a scenario, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov recently indicated that such a conflict would be “very short”…

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said a war between Russia and Europe would be “very short” if European countries attacked Russia.

“If Europe attacks Russia, it will be a completely different war, and it will be very short,” Lavrov said on Wednesday, according to Russia’s state-run TASS news agency.

Obviously he was referring to the use of nuclear weapons.

If push comes to shove, the Russians will use nukes.

There should be no doubt about that.

They have been preparing for a nuclear war with the western world for a long time, and they possess a vast underground facility in the Ural Mountains that would serve as a command center in the event of a full-blown nuclear exchange…

Hidden beneath a remote mountain in the Ural wilderness in central Russia, a vast underground command centre has been massively expanded in what appears to be a revival of the Soviet Union’s notorious ‘Dead Hand’ nuclear strategy.

The bunker, known as Facility 1335, lies near the tiny village of Kytlym, where soldiers now guard a heavily fortified military complex – hundreds of miles from any city and surrounded by impassable terrain.

The site is part of Russia’s ‘Perimeter’ system – known in the West as Dead Hand – which was designed to preserve the country’s ability to retaliate against an enemy even after a catastrophic attack had severed communications with its leadership.

After such an attack, Facility 1335 would transmit radio signals to mobile missile launchers and any other surviving launch silos to retaliate in full force.
