    As much as it fucking sucks and I hate it the increased military spending also increases my chance at finding a job. I’d leave my industry in a heartbeat for something else, but barring that I’d rather fight against Russia.

    I started working towards Germany mid last year, before conscription/travel restrictions had come up. AfD was definitely a source of trepidation. I’m not committed to Germany and in fact these developments have me second-guessing that route.

        The industry I have reluctantly found myself in is rather directly concerned with Iran. If I’m unable to change industries, I’d prefer to work in a country concerned with Russia.

          Don’t wanna criticise your job, I understand that we all gotta eat somehow and unfortunately that’s where all the money is going right now, but why do you feel more comfortable with fighting Russia than Iran?
