Germanying

The act of a nation launching a massive military invasion while severely underestimating their enemy, arrogantly expecting an impossibly fast victory, and failing to prepare their economy or supply lines for a long conflict.

Examples are the 1914 schlieffen plan, operation Barbarossa, the invasion of Ukraine 2022

“Germany was germanying it in 1914 expecting a 6 week victory against France” , “Russia is germanying it against Ukraine”
