Will Germany be combat-ready in 2029? | To the point
Germany’s defense minister says he wants Germany to be quote combat ready for 2029 or by 2029 what does that mean well that means that uh we need a lot of lot more money to invest uh um in the Army uh I think that 2% we reach now 2% uh defense spending um we will have to invest much more money than we are now and I agree we will have to have uh different rules I don’t think that this coalition right now is ready to take the decisions that have to be taken uh to prepare this country uh for a possible War uh I think that will be the job of uh the next coalition
Destroyed cities, power plants and critical infrastructure: many areas in Eastern Ukraine are in ruins. And an end to the Russian aggression is nowhere in sight. In the midst of the war, Ukrainian President Zelensky is lobbying for help to rebuild his country. He’s asking Germany for aid, but also for more weapons. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is promising further support but wants to avoid an escalation of the conflict. Germany and NATO, however, must be ready to resist a war if things go wrong. We ask: Between fear and deterrence: Can Europe defend itself?

Typical liberal / left wing war monger
You know exactly that that’s mean
We want Russia to pay war reparations!
Germany have wasted money this coalition and the economy of Germany have decisions jobs, economy and inflation spending.
Nein , Germany needs to think again ..
Germany needs to stand upto the US and NATO. Stop worrying that strengthening Europe is going to “compete with NATO”. End NATO, end it completely. EU needs a Continental military. Citizens must realize there are global forces against them, then those same forces are trying to subvert the governments and use media to turn citizens away from their only defense, their governments. Strengthen the EU to fight these folks, match chutzpah for chutzpah even if their media kvetches up a storm.
It’s already there
He means Germany and Europe need finance their own defense, instead of relying on the United States. Trump is going to be elected president of the United States and Europe's free ride on defense bending is over. Or he could mean Biden is going to get re-elected and he knows Biden has turned his back on every american ally. 😮
MOFOS , WHY DOES EUROPEAN UNION ALWAYS THINK OF WAR! WHY NOT CREATE A COALITION FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD. RUSSIA AND BRICK WILL BE MORE CAPABLE AS WELL AND ADVANCE BY 2029. EU UNION IS A JOKE.
Dayum no just no 😢
Why we people have to participate on these fantasies from the elites?
That means Russia will not just stroll in in
Germans have had their chance, shouldnt push their luck.
The Clone of Roderich Kiesewetter, a little bit spooky.
Which war?
Western countries preparing for war in end will look like agrressors in world wich will trigger war .all this focus in war will end badly ..
Foolish decisions indeed. Do they mean they are planning wars!!
Second try😂
Why does Germany have sense to increase its security budget when Britton and others feel it is not important? Because having a military that is capable will prevent conflicts
