Sara Nanni, the German Green Party defence spokesman, said one clear lesson is that the country simply needs to have more systems available. “We can no longer think in such small quantities. We have to assume that vehicles have a long downtime after they’re damaged and simply need to be serviced.”

Jesus Christ. I knew the German Green party was flawed because of the anti-nuclear stuff but to also find out they're MIC shills. Fucked.

They're the most bellicose and anti-russian party here in germany. They do not even pretend not to be a US-fifth-column. They got into the government with the promise to be strict about not letting germana rms be exportet into warzones. Ukraine made them drop that instantly, they're also rabid zionazis. Baerbock (the worst foreign minister we ever had, and we had nazis on that job) immediately claimed to have seen the made up video of the 40 beheaded israeli babies.

For her "good work" she's getting a prestigious diplomatic position at the UN, costing a experienced and respected diplomat their post.

It's wild to me because the Green Party in America is (obviously) quite different, but they share the same name.
