And Merz and Scholz got their 2/3 majorities via concession of 100 B for environmental measures for the Greens.
DW called it humorously, " a Defence Package with a Green Stamp".
It is not „for the greens“ it is for Germany. The environment does not have any political interest.
DW : " Despite a huge setback in Germany’s federal election, the Green Party has secured a victory to the tune of billions of euros. The future governing coalition needed the Greens to realize a key political goal.
I wonder why the BBC author seems to have explicitly chosen only images with what appears to be female Bundeswehr soldiers? Kinda odd choice 🤔
My money is on subconscious fear of German women. Maybe they grew up on Allo Allo!
Interesting, for me it seems to be supposed to convey “military good and sexy now” vibes.
I’m a Pole so I probably didn’t consider German military could be good news or sexy, even subconsciously. But then you have those Hugo Boss uniforms. Hmmmm.
100% agree with you that military isn’t good or sexy ever but comparing this photo to like a grizzly, manly man in the mud (which could be sexy as well, lol) I think this image wants to say “Look we’re not the reactionary, sexist boys club we once were (which is a complete lie, probably), come join us, we even got women now!” So basicallly propaganda.
I wouldn’t make this judgment based on a single news piece with 2 pictures total but I’ll be on a lookout if this is a pattern.
They can be sexy and fierce at the same time.
