It kind of reminds me of Terminator 2; where its essentially the exact same story is T1 except this time the previous bad guy is the good guy.

Germany starts world war 3
The rest of the world: “how do we keep falling for this?”
"Ww3 this time we're the good guys!" Smaller print "We've double checked and had it put in writing."
Everyone loves a good heel-face turn though
First John Cena then Germany
John Cena would be the US in this example. Sudden unexpected face-heel turn
Deutschland über alles!
Let's make sure to start the campaign in autumn so we are deep inside Russia during the coldest parts of winter. Let's also make sure to only take light summer clothing.
As we know, you should always fight a land war in Asia.
At least were not going up against the Sicilians
Ya know, what with global warming this might actually work.
That sort of idea seems great when everyone is taking Pervitin all the time.
Pervitin, the brand name that Meth was originally sold under.
That's so yesterday. Now we use modafinil!
Legal meth? Sign me up!
I am ok if Europe wants to send troops to Canada to defend against the real enemy—the United States.
As an American I fully support this. We don't want to invade Canada either. Just the Orange Idiot and his bootlickers.
I was going to joke "I'll send y'all intel," but now I'm seriously considering if my country will use that statement against me some day.
I am joking NSA/DOGE, of course.
I don’t want intel, AMD is better imo.
Too late the van is already on its way
*Occupied States
If it comes to it, there won't be a conventional battle. We will take them out from within.
In the wise words of the Arrogant Worms, "We'll take a boat to Washingtooooooon! And burn the White House twice!"
Pls do, our army wouldn’t last more than a day against the US
Ukrainians: "the Germans are here to liberate us from the Russian yoke. And they actually mean it this time!"
I'm sure if it came to it, Canada would send some good folks along as well.
I hope for Canada's sake, and for the sake of NATO and the EU, that Canada puts on some big boy pants and boosts its military. I have seen a lot of talk such as yours, but the reality is that Canada's military is a joke. Canada is so far behind in it's military spending obligation for NATO that they don't even have a timeline for catching up. Canada's airforce is 1/3rd the size of France's and France is the 10th largest Airforce in the world. The Canadian Army only has 22,000 active troops while the entire Canadian Armed Forces is only around 68,000 strong.
Canada has had troops on the ground for a lot of global military events, but they've almost never fielded a significant number. In the Gulf War they had ~4,500 troops, the Coalition had >950,000 troops and 700,000 of them were from the US. In the War in Afghanistan Canada had ~40,000 troops over 13 years (Operation Enduring Freedom) and at any one point had no more than 2,500 troops deployed. Meanwhile the US had 1.9 million deployed in the same period and at it's peak had over 100,000 troops deployed at once.
Oh but we gotta talk about WW1 and WW2 because people always take it there. In WW1 Canada deployed 620,000 troops while the US deployed 4.7 million. In WW2 the Allied Powers had a combined total over over 80 million troops, the US had around 16.5 million while Canada had 1.1 million.
As an American who likes Canada and doesn't agree with the current US political direction, I absolutely hope Canada puts it's money where it's mouth is. When Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 NATO members were supposed to increase their spending to prepare to stand up to Russia and as of 2021 only 5 of the 31 states had met that goal. As of 2024 only 8 states still had not met the goal, but Canada had the special distinction of being the only member state with no timeline on when they would meet that goal.
In a Politico article from last year
“The Canadian public doesn’t really see the need,” said Philippe Lagassé, Barton chair at Canada’s Carleton University. “If forced to choose between defense spending, social programs or reducing taxes, defense would always come last. So there’s no political gain to meeting the pledge.”
With the US threatening to leave NATO the EU has stepped up with a rearmament plan as recently as this week, let's hope Canada does the same.
Hey, they might actually manage the cold! This is brilliant!
We might get a bit busy but I'm sure we can spare one or two war crimes their way.
Tbf Poland would be joining them this time around.
Last time Russia and Germany invaded Poland together. Presumably this would be Germany and Poland invading Russia.
Does that mean in 100 years it'll be Russia's turn to team up with Poland against Germany? Is that how this works now? Can't we just rock-paper-scissors best 2 of 3 instead?
They're allowed to take out one German tank with light cavalry, for old time's sake.
You know...as the battlefield becomes ever more automated, there might be a very brief window where the winged hussars could make a comeback.
Let's say you have a battlefield riddled with smart drones. They have image recognition and immediately attack anything resembling a tank or other military asset. Do you think anyone bothered to program the drones to seek out and attack a unit outfit like 18th century Polish cavalry? A charge on horseback just might be able to ride completely undisturbed through the right kind of drone-controlled battlefield.
and you just fucking ruined what would have been the coolest thing ever by putting it in public!
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
COMING DOWN THEY TURNED THE TIDE
Ukranian drones are already equipped to target the latest Russian logistic vehicles, donkeys.
They did last time too, just not quite as voluntarily
The irony being that Poland doesn't have border controls towards Germany, but Germany has illegal border controls towards Poland though.
Just because almost every party decided to go full populist "Screw the people and the economy, there might be Muslim terrorists in Poland"
You guys have the most experience with that sort of thing
Poland: "What about attacking Russia alongside with an ally?"
Aye, I could do that.
