All property is potentially subject to government seizure. Just like we're all military reservists. These things are implicit, and we just hope and pray it won't come to that. But total war is definitely on the cards this decade, at least for some countries.
If Hungary wasn't so far west geographically I'd propose an exchange: We let Russia have Hungary in return for Ukrainian EU/NATO membership. Unfortunately Hungary is on the wrong side of Ukraine :(
I don't think Putin has needed to do a lot of election fraud. He rules over the media, and has outlawed any serious opposition. I think of it more as an opinion poll than an election. For Putin I think unpopularity is a threat to regime stability, so he probably takes it seriously.
American weapon aid has already ceased. It's truly dire on the front. What could get worse is if American intelligence aid also stopped. As hard as it is for Europe to replace America's supply of 155mm, replacing US intelligence is going to be even harder. That is to say, it would be absolutely impossible.

It's more that the bureaucracy is so complex and fragmented that it's incredibly hard to digitalize. Lots of small fiefdoms that are entitled to make IT purchasing decisions themselves means paper is the only universal interchange format. In addition there is an unwillingness to change how things have always been done, or to simplify procedures. So there you have it: The German bureaucracy is too fat to move.
MySQL sucks, and almost everyone who willingly use it also sucks.
