Eeyore alert.
Looks like Germany is preparing for the worst of all outcomes already. Meanwhile we are concerned about a bit of wind.
"German males aged between 17 and 45 may need to seek approval for lengthy stays abroad, under changes introduced as part of a new law which introduced voluntary military service.
The Military Service Modernisation Act, which came into force on 1 January, aims to boost defences following threats from Russian in the aftermath of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
In a statement sent to the BBC, a defence ministry spokesman confirmed that males aged 17 and older were required to obtain prior approval for stays abroad lasting longer than three months."
