The West is at war with itself. Suicide by Russia is how Germany is deciding to finish the job.

"Now it is time to shoot back."

'Shoot back' for what?

A German war against Russia would be even stupider than the last time.

Just added this footnote: “Now it is time to shoot back” alludes to Adolf Hitler’s Reichstag speech of September 1, 1939, in which he declared, “Since 5:45 a.m., we have been returning fire,” portraying Germany’s invasion of Poland as a defensive response to alleged Polish aggression. The staged attack on the German radio station at Gleiwitz formed part of the propaganda used to support this claim.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't know the origin of the phrase.
