The Bundeswehr soon with Israel against Iran? The Federal Office of Languages publishes a Persian phrase book for soldiers, where sentences are to be read as: "I come from Cologne", "I belong to the UN peacekeeping troops", "Iran is a beautiful country". Furthermore, there is the Persian translation mliltärischer commands such as "stop stop."
The reason for the members of the Bundestag Inge Hoger nachzuhaken (Die Linke). Thankfully on youtube is a video with the questions and the answers wife Högers set the Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Defence Christian Schmidt (CSU).
What you hear in the sequence is hard to believe:
Schmidt winds clear that questions obviously feels as a single impertinence, even aggressive towards the end. The Geschwurbel can be inferred, however, that the Voice was intended to improve the communication skills of the soldiers.
Then drop the words "Israeli President recently in parliament", "threat of Israel", "Israel's right to exist", "Iranian threat".
Schmidt recalls the Merkel promise that "an attack on Israel as an attack on us" is.
What can we conclude from this? (more ...)
