German MPs approve fiscal ‘bazooka’ for defence, infrastructure • FRANCE 24 English
German lawmakers gave the green light on Tuesday for a colossal spending boost for defence and infrastructure pushed by chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz amid deep fears in Europe over the future strength of the transatlantic alliance. The unprecedented fiscal package, dubbed “XXL-sized” and a cash “bazooka” by German media, could pave the way for more than one trillion euros in spending over the next decade. FRANCE 24’s Nick Holdsworth reports from Berlin.

Germany looks set to become EU's third strongest army. I think that Russia has no chance against Germany or even Greece
Welcome back, Germany!
That’s all well and good, but who’s son is going to be stupid enough to hold these new weapons (paid for by your grand children that you have yet to have). This insanity is getting darker and darker.
Just goes to show how dependant Europe is on American military protection. Europe is in a panic lol
I feel bad for Germany being suckered into the war with Russia after withstanding understandably since the 1940's, now the USA has ditched them with it and ran off with half the riches.
The downward spiral continues
An increase in military spending only works if you buy US systems. Sucks when you call a bully's bluff.
This is a strong sign that Germany will become the second strongest democracy in the world.
This is a way to back door fund Israel through the defence companies it owns. Dont be fooled.
It took the soviet union the USA, UK, France and Canada to defeat Germany in the 1940s and they nearly won. When Germans put their mind to something……
Trump victory😂
