Hi! :)

Nazis, tankies and terrorist justifiers can kindly fuck off.
You shouldn’t. But you should have the capability to fight a modern war in case you or your allies come under attack. Neither Russia nor America look all too friendly right now, having a capable defensive military seems less and less optional.
I absolutely would advise Friedrich Merz to move to the US. Preferably permanently.
Also: if a child only refrains from doing something because they fear possible consequences they’ll happily do it in situations where they don’t have to be afraid of being found out. So if the only thing preventing your child from chewing on high voltage cables is the threat of violence your child will get themselves electrocuted once they’re out of your eyesight. (Yes that’s hyperbole, but you get the point.)
If a position is legally untenable it’s a lawyer’s job to say so, though. We really don’t have enough context here.
