Civil protection agency chief says country is ill-prepared for conflict and calls for urgent upgrades to cold war shelters
Germany is drawing up plans to rapidly expand its network of bomb-proof bunkers and shelters, the government’s most senior civilian protection official has said, warning the state needs to be prepared for an attack from Russia within the next four years.
Ralph Tiesler, the head of the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK), said Europe’s largest economy needed to wake up to the reality of conflict, and that in its current state Germany was inadequately prepared.
“For a long time, there was a widespread belief in Germany that war was not a scenario for which we needed to prepare. That has changed. We are concerned about the risk of a major war of aggression in Europe,” he told the Süddeutsche Zeitung news outlet.
Not even sure Russia has the capability to even fire anything long range at this point. Not even from Ukranian attacks, just from being fucking worthless. That being said... better safe than sorry. Not much more to fear than a cornered sociopath with nothing left to lose. Willing to take themselves down if it means even hurting you too. Not to mention the fact that Russian weapons might not work... but American ones do.
The idea that you can hide yourself from a nuclear war is just as stupid as the idea you can win one.
The only outcome here is to not have a nuclear war.
Finally someone solved war
There is a 100% effective solution to ending wars on planet Earth, most people are just opposed to the end of the human species for some reason.
Inspirational. I'm going to make a movie about these comments. It'll be about how a person (probably a teen, and a 'hacker') who uses technology to learn that no one wins at global thermonuclear war.
I'll call it War Games. Then I'll travel back in time to 1983 and release it in cinemas!!
Well, yea, but russia and its fans root every single argument they make on "but we have nukes, so we deserve special treatment". It's all they have.
So anyone who wants to tell them to get fucked needs to get nukes or at the very least bunkers.
Not even in the days of the cold war there was remotely enough bunker capacity for everyone. What for anyway? Want to spend the next 100 or 1000 years in a subterranean hole? Good luck with that. Waste of money and resources but probably just the pipe dreams of some beaurocrat in a mostlly irrelevant institution.
What are you even going on about? This is about bomb shelters, not fallout shelters that you're expected to live in for decades.
The article says they want enough to shelter a million people, “everyone” isn’t the goal
Great plan. Even better than I thought.
