Plenty of people are complaining, and we currently have a right-wing government. Your username is quite apt.
>currently have a right-wing government just no. Maybe next election when the AFD wins which also happens to be against this.

Russia in Afghanistan. America in Afghanistan. America in Iraq. America and France in Vietnam. France in Algeria. France in Haiti. Britain in Ireland. Honorable mention to Britain in America and Germany in France, where guerilla/resistance forces were instrumental in the eventual allied victories, even though the invaders were eventually toppled by outside armies. I dunno, maybe Berliners would prefer becoming Ukrain…
No. That is really bloody and a last resort. And horrible for civilians. Bucha and Irpin are counter-examples. Russians should only be treated with a very long stick. Guerilla warfare is not winning, it is making things a huge mess.

> Nevertheless, the article you’re citing still cites American personal income as pretty close to German median income. Do you realize how insane this statement is considering the wealth and economic power of America? And as cited above, cost of living is higher, quality of life is lower in the US too. Also why isn't the market correcting itself, hm? You had market deregulation under Clinton, super successful, wasn't…
You appear to be assuming I hold a whole plethora of views that have nothing to do with me. (Red scare?? Deregulation??) I am fully informed about conditions in Germany. Perhaps you are not fully informed about conditions in America. Even us Americans in flyover states, even solidly working class Americans, even some people I know in trailer parks , have more conveniences and luxuries than the average German. Aside f…
I highly doubt that as you seem to only focus on a few specific points.

War makes things a huge mess. It makes things an even bigger mess than resistance, by inuring the public to its devastation via distance from the front line, and by offering soldiers a respite when they're able to rotate out. The violence of occupation comes anyway, AFTER an initial bloody pitched battle. Might as well skip the traditional fighting and hash out the civil war that's inevitable once tanks start moving.
There are so many counter examples to your proposal so I think you are just guessing.
Where did the Civil War end up when Soviet invaded Hungary in 1956 or Prague 1967? Or Poland?
Should the Finns have invited the Soviets into their country in 1939 instead of defending it?
Would the British have been better of fighting Germany of the streets of London?
And what about the preventive force a regular army has? Would you want to be without that and simply leave the doors to your country unlocked?

And also things like math, being doctors, and firemen
Being firefighters, yes to some extent, because males are more likely to have acquired the physical strength needed to lift people out of burning buildings. But there are many female firefighters who excel in the profession too. There is nothing about males that make them more suited to be doctors. We also can see that in the demographics in some countries (e.g. the UK), there is a roughly equal balance of female doc…
