they discussed european excitement, the attack of combative fervor of the french president and the tossing-up of the german leadership. the topic has been developed. macron became so excited that he reproached his allies for cowardice. it’s time to realize that this is our war, don’t expect to sit out. true, the french government clarifies that we are not going to fight in ukraine, but we have other methods, and we won’t say which ones, let putin be afraid. germany has its own turns. in an audio recording leaked to the public, high-ranking bundesweir officers and generals are busily discussing how useful german taurus cruise missiles would be in destroying the crimean bridge. and at the same time he is surprised that kantser is so stubborn and refuses to supply them to kiev. the scandal turned out to be loud, but not because of the subject of the conversation, but because of the fact of the leak. the ministry of defense had to admit that one of

the participants in the communication used a public connection. the allies complain furiously about the germans' unreliability. berlin makes excuses and threatens russia with punishment for making it public. contents of the conversation in they hardly discuss germany, and they certainly don’t talk about thon. i would say it's pretty loose in the way it's being conducted. general gerhards, inspector of the air force. calls the taurus a super-weapon that the bundesfer has in service, well, although he didn’t say it’s a prodigy, but that’s the point, other interlocutors proudly talk about the unique advantages of the german product, compared to the british and french ones, which kiev already possesses. there are many versions in connection with the leak, and, as always, directly opposite. let's be honest, nothing we didn’t learn anything fundamentally new. except that

yes, the everyday tone with which the german military discusses attacks against russian targets is jarring. by the way, an indicative comment from the newspaper, we cannot allow that same general ing gerhards to retire because of this story. it is precisely such soldiers, experienced and determined, that the bundeswehr needs now. wow! however, no matter what the generals plan, politicians have to. take into account the mood of citizens. the majority of the population does not want taurus went to ukraine. a new survey was just published on wednesday, according to which noticeably more than half of the respondents, approximately 58%, are against the transfer of missiles to kiev. 73 % said that under no circumstances could there be german troops in ukraine, that is, despite the two-year drumbeat that...

we will transfer weapons worth 7 billion, and neighbors, he did not say who, but it is clear that he had i mean france, only 3 billion is not enough, they say, she has a desire for germany to be european. frankly speaking, for now it's looks like a re-enactment for an election campaign. on june 9, elections to the european parliament and the role of the chancellor of the world are in demand, otherwise the defeat of the social democrats, which is already coming, will be very difficult. yes, the elections are commemorated in france too. the situation is similar; according to polls , supporters of marine lupin, macron’s sworn enemies, will get into the european parliament first of all. if you see the newspaper figaro, the belligerence of the president and the government, caused by the desire to intercept the agenda, to direct the attention of voters to the topic of war and peace,

instead of socio-economic problems. we’ll keep an eye on france, but for now let’s return to germany, let’s talk with maria khorolskaya from mmo, an expert on german political cuisine. maria, hello, hello! there is a lot of debate about the reasons for the leak in germany , and the conversations are very alarming, but the content is such an impression that no one was surprised at all, does this mean that support, military support for ukraine is now, well, the norm, perhaps for the establishment, yes and no, that is, on the one hand there is consensus and society and political elites that ukraine needs to be supported, then there is a discrepancy, how to support and help?

the party leader, no matter what scholz does, death will always be opposed, this is his opportunity to score political points. regarding scholz, the feeling is that he takes a very firm position against it,

he has been repeating this for the last, probably, week and a half, literally every day. do you think this is a principled position, that is, is this his conviction, or is it still a matter of fact? such a reserved politician, he doesn't likes drastic decisions, doesn’t like decisions that could cause some kind of risk for germany, and if we look at the overall situation with taurus from the point of view of the chancellor, we will see that all transfer options are not very successful, that is, the first option, yes, transfer taurus and send german specialists, but a risky undertaking, firstly, this will need to be approved in the bundestag, and there is no probability, no, that is, there is a probability, but there are no guarantees that... the majority will say: yes, we are sending, good if they agree, then it will attract too much attention to the germans in the conflict zone. the second option is so gray - to send specialists who can somehow advise, it seems to me that this is also now excluded, and not even because of the recording

when scholz said in the bundestag that it was necessary to send, that is, he is already this gray the option was removed, and the third option, yes, send missiles and send - not send your people, but train the ukrainians and somehow advise from germany, from europe. but, firstly, if you make such a decision, then you will need to explain, precisely prove internal external audience that there are definitely no germans there, yes, specialists with a german accent, but in this case it will turn out that germany, berlin will lose control over the choice of target. you need to understand that the opposition.

this formula was first derived by the prussian general carl von clausewitz. his main work on the war was published after his death. clausewitz divided wars into absolute and limited. in an absolute war, the goal is to destroy the enemy in a limited one, to force him to compromise. another famous military strategist was the chief of the german general staff, count alfred von schlieffen. even 20 years before the start of the first world war, he... presented a plan for a simultaneous war with russia and france; in 1906, it was

amended by the new chief of the general staff, another military theorist, field marshal helmuth moltke, jr. but as you know, the plans failed . however, it was these theorists who laid the foundations for the strategy better known as blitz creek. the term itself is not used in german documents. according to some sources, it first appeared in the british times. year, but similar approaches were developed by both mohlke and schlieffen. the lack of high-speed tanks did not allow the concept to be realized. the instrument appeared at the beginning of the second world war, and it was the germans who brought it to perfection. the father of the panzerwafe is usually called heins guderrian, but another man, otta lutz, was at the origins. in september 1935, he was appointed first general of tank forces. he was replaced by gudarian, who published the book “attention” to tanks, which described

the use of tank troops. the idea was creating the main striking force of tank divisions, they could be combined into large formations, tank groups. the tank division did not just consist of tanks, it had its own reconnaissance, infantry and artillery. basically , the wehrmacht was a foot army, where artillery was carried by horses, but in the tank division all units were motorized. heavy artillery was towed by high-speed tractors, which none of the armies had at that time. the blow was delivered not only by tanks, but by a single fist, which was capable of moving at high speed, breaking through defenses and entering this breakthrough, developing success and acting independently. the first training was the anschluss, the annexation of austria, then there was the polish company, but the real blitzkrieg was operation impact. against france, its author is erich von manstein. later, such encirclement operations would become a signature feature

of the german army. with the help of lightning war , you can successfully act against such a large country as france, which was occupied even before it began mass mobilization. against the ussr, this strategy misfired. after world war ii in germany already there were no great strategists, but a number of former generals of the third reich did. successful careers, among them hans speidel, a participant in the anti-hitler conspiracy and chief of staff of field marshal rommel, and adolf heusinger, chief of the general staff of the ground forces under hitler. in the fifties, he became a military adviser to the first federal chancellor konrad adenauer, and in 1961-1964 he headed the nato military committee.

then we will see that they still don’t have enough, that is, a military career among young people, it is unpopular, the idea of ​​some kind of military political culture is also absolutely unpopular, germany is enough, but a left-wing country, left-center. with universal conscription, citizens, mostly men, must perform military, alternative or civilian service, this applies to both war and peacetime, conditions, each country. defines itself, and although a similar approach is found even in antiquity, the modern system of national conscription copies the practice that arose after the french revolution and which formed the basis of napoleon's great army. majority countries later copied this system, when in peacetime people at a certain age serve from one to 8 years, and then go into the

reserve. over the past half century , conscription in most of its states... these are albania, austria, greece, cyprus, denmark, estonia, lithuania, finland, sweden, switzerland and norway. each country has its own characteristics of military conscription. so in estonia , non-citizens are not accepted into the army. every year, danish residents play in a national lottery. who will go to serve, who will be immediately enrolled in reserve. and in the scandinavian countries the number. those called for compulsory service are only growing every year. in 2015, norway became the first european country to introduce universal conscription for both men and women from the age of 18, but not everyone is accepted, physical and psychological health is assessed, whether there is a criminal record and what is the person’s motivation? similar military

competition among boys and girls exists in neighboring sweden, where there is universal conscription. restored in 2017 . in lithuania, since 2015, conscription has become permanent, but due to limited financial resources, not everyone takes the service. selection is a lottery. the lists of recruits are compiled using a random number generator. the estonian authorities are also planning to increase the number of annual calls to extend their service life. now estonians serve for less than a year. their baltic neighbors set an example for...

small troubles, or maybe, on the contrary, not small ones. our colleague eduard shillin about loneliness. it would seem that in the era of social networks and dating sites there are problems in finding partners there shouldn’t be any germans, but nevertheless, almost every third person in the country aged 18 to 65 lives without a family or without a partner. after the fall of the wall, the inhabitants of the city of berlin thought that universal happiness had finally arrived, but it was time for change. brought new problems, and one of them, oddly enough, was the problem of loneliness. berlin has even managed to get a nickname, the capital of loneliness. every second household

in the capital consists of a single person, approximately 300 people a year die in their apartments and their deaths are learned weeks later. a striking example was a video about a lonely old man, shot at the request of the german company edc. the level of social stress of residents of large cities is higher than ever, it is explained by two factors, social tension and social isolation, overpopulation threatens our order.

bobby is originally from india and has lived in berlin for many years and is an urban planner. this is your own choice, but it is important to identify where and why it came from. i wouldn't blame the city authorities for everything, since they did a great job. look, i'm on a bike, create a city for people, not cars. for some, a bicycle is their salvation, but for others, a sense of humor. germans and expats also come to the berlin comedy club sten to laugh. unlike the rest,

the germans are shy and don’t always laugh heartily , like the english-speaking public, for example, i think the larger the city, the more inhabitants, the more lonely you are, and berlin is one of such cities, it’s not surprising that a whole industry has already emerged aimed at singles people, for example, their help...

if the indomitable revolutionary clara zetkin, the one who brought international women's day into the calendar, the pro-cult of cats and hugs in her native germany, had known, would probably have led her to the barricades again.

this is the messiah in the yard, whether he is a man or a woman, that is equality - this is right in any case, the president of indonesia was migowati sukornaputri, the first female head of state in the asia-pacific region, she sincerely sought to strengthen peace and prevent military conflicts, that is why under her, many weapons were purchased, including from russia, because she was guided by the good old principle, sivispats parabellum. if you want peace, prepare for war. when we build up the armed forces, this does not mean that we do not want peace, we are just strengthening it, and in general i hope that the role of women will grow, the challenges today are much more difficult than before, women cope better when there are many tasks to solve at the same time, no offense to men, it will be said, just like that, in honor of the holiday, we won’t argue, although it’s offensive, with on march 8th, dear women, this was an international review, goodbye.

“investment rating, economics, through specific stories, we can reach people, we often talk about money, the amounts are serious, there is a clear and clear signal in russia, whether russian industry is capable of replacing foreign suppliers, it is necessary to mobilize all resources.” give me a recipe in general, here’s how to achieve what you have achieved, it seems to you that you are on top of the world, got up, dusted yourself off, is russia ready to change, it happens in any structure evolution, it’s easy to get confused in the facts when you see only part of the overall picture, in the pursuit of views, entire locations are changed, it’s easy to make a depar fake.
