Remember how Germans had to spend months to figure if they can even send arms to Ukraine?!

Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).
Rules:
1. No Bigotry or Hate Speech
Any forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it.
Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.
2. No Zionism
Any forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism.
Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.
Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.
3. Stay Civil
Please maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.
4. No Misinformation
Spreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.
Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.
5. No AI Content
Please do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.
Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

Should be no arms at all
The tragedy about suppressing peoples opinions on Palestine: You can silence people by calling them antisemitic at the slightest critique of what Israel is doing in Gaza, but you won't sway their opinions. Suppressing an open discussion about the topic is what fuels antisemitism, which is then brewing in silence.
The sad truth is, this is the problem all along. The peiple, no matter what political isle, are fed up with priducrivity being through the roof since 50 yrs, being able to easily feed and house every soul on earth but instead funneling peoples efforts into few pockets and spurning on the rest.
People are fed up with capitalism. You can suppress our voice and you can put us against each other with politics, but we actually just want to stop working so much for so little.
I've talked to people on all political positions and despite differences and drinking some partys koolaid, everyone just wants to live instead of slave away.
Damn. Germany was Hamas all along i guess. smh my head
A large majority of Germans want tighter controls on arms exports to any country. Germany has been one of the world's biggest arms exporters for a long time despite its population opposing it. Politicians don't care as long as economy go brrrr.
