If we WANTED to do it - we would do it. Scholz is just fishing for excuses that don’t make him look bad.

Example: If Germany goes to war (which by law would only allow a defensive war or since a Supreme Court ruling also UN or NATO wars) our Grundgesetz demands that all elections are suspended until the war is over.

So have you ever heard of suspended elections because of German war participation somewhere on our world? No? That’s because the wars Germany participated in were being reframed. You can find all wars here (only German):

If we really WANT to do it, not even our constitution can stop us.
