Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) in Germany's legislature, the Bundestag, is calling for the activation of 900,000 German military reservists.
“Putin is trimming his people for war and positioning them against the West. Therefore, we must become capable of defending ourselves as quickly as possible," said the chairwoman of the Bundestag defense committee to the newspapers of the Funke media group (Saturday).”
“Russia only produces weapons. Textbooks are printed that portray Germany as the aggressor. Primary school children are trained on the weapon. All this is frightening,” said Strack-Zimmermann.
"The Russian attack against us has already begun," Strack-Zimmermann told the Funke newspapers, referring to cyber attacks, espionage and deliberately triggered refugee movements.
"We must be aware that the war in Ukraine affects us directly." If Putin is successful, he will "continue his raids," Strack-Zimmermann said, referring to Georgia and Moldova. And when Putin thinks that the time has come, "he will also attack the Baltic States."

Shameless fearmongering. Lies made-up out of whole cloth, spewing from the mouth of what is supposed to be an elected public official - trying to set Germany on a collision course with Russia - again.
Someone should ask this dumb broad if she realizes such an effort didn't work out well for Germany the last time they tried it. It was Russian troops that stormed Berlin and destroyed Hitler's Nazi regime.
Is she looking to cause the Russians to do that again?
