If you believe The Telegraph, the Germans have begun to worship the God of War, yet again. This is not the God of War on the PlayStation that you can buy for $49.99; nor is it Mars the Roman god of war who was actually the god of agriculture for some time but later changed his line of business maybe because the new title was much more provoking.
(Which one would you prefer: people coming to you for better cucumbers or for more Spartan soldiers enslaved for the next war?) No, the Telegraph was not informing us that after buying Greek military ports and airfields, Germany was converting to worship the Greek war of god Ares. Actually, it was Joseph Stalin who named artillery as the “God of War.” Now, Germany is trying to manufacture more howitzers and rocket launchers and lots of ammunition for all those cannons and guns, but for what? French President Emmanuel Macron is not even paying attention to the mortal fact that the political party he fashioned after himself has lost popular support in the latest polls, and in the forthcoming snap elections, it may not even be the third party in parliament.
But he is so busy tallying his country’s nuclear arsenal and making his warplanes fly again. Why? Russian President Vladimir Putin, the living god of (not war, but close) intelligence (not in the sense of acumen, but data and knowledge), was in North Korea – which is 141 times smaller than Russia area-wise – to beg munitions, so his country could do what? The answer to all a.
