Defence minister Boris Pistorius admits ‘foreign legion’ style move is being considered
Foreigners could be allowed to join the German army as Boris Pistorius, the country’s defence minister, tries to recruit an extra 20,000 troops in the face of threats from Russia.
“We would not be the first armed forces in Europe to do that,” Mr Pistorius told the German newspaper Tagesspiegel, as he confirmed the idea was being considered by the government in Berlin.
Under German law only citizens can serve in the Bundeswehr in principle, though foreigners can be allowed to join in certain special cases, according to Bild, a German tabloid.
Service Guarantees Citizenship
I have another Idea: Provide the fucking Taurus to Ukraine. It will destroy russian infrastructure and it will kill russian soldiers, which in the end will reduce the amount of troops they have and the necessity to ramp up our own troops.
Does Germany have the supplies to … supply an extra 20,000 soldiers?
yeah we do, since we ramp up our military budget right after the second invasion of Ukraine began.
I’m sure a lot of people want to kick some Russian ass.
