defend ourselves against Putin

Putin is going to come and finish the job for Stalin any day now. Just wait and see, tomorrow the Bolchevik hordes might be flooding into Germany, to eat your Dachshunds and turning the Oktoberfest into a vodka and balalaika festival.

Why would Putin do that? Simply because he is evil.

The only sensible response is to cut every social program to fund the construction of a German death star.
