Article is irrelevant - we had this discussion in Germany 1 week ago.
TL;DR See comment below.
- The government is obliged to grant your request to leave the country unless there actually is a war.
- There is no penalty if you leave the country without government approval.
Also this isn’t a new law but a remain of the cold war era.
In this case, I would advise them to simply ignore the law, or protest to have it revoked. It does not make sense.
Stop voting for right wing parties, folks
That decision was not done by right wing parties.
“When Russia attacks I want someone else to defend me”
I will absolutely defend Germany when Russia attacks, but I will not fight any of Americas and Israels wars!
Not even against America and Israel?
What a beautiful strawman you built there.
No, they want to leave Germany instead of making someone defend them there.
I hope to leave people like you behind when someone attacks:)
I can promise you Russia does not care to attack any of the EU. If you’ve been tricked into believing something different, get a better education.
Yet.
Or ever. Germany has no natural resources and generally has not been enough of a pain since the Soviets freed you from Nazi control to be a danger to Russia. Why would they invade? Germany doesn’t even have a large contingency of Russian citizens in it.
