  7. Could someone give me a tldr? It’s behind a paywall.

  9. Meh its the biggest economy in europe yet tiny defense…with america going full banging pot on head running in circels pooping their pants we sort need a stronger eu to defend itself.
    Its that or learn russian in a gulag.

  12. Please no strong Germany army again… Never brought luck to Europe.

  13. German here 🙋🏻‍♂️ everything quiet so far over here.

  15. If its was nice, try it twice. What could possible go wrong If Germany change the face of Europe?

  18. And so will every other nation on the earth that has the capability. One starts, and the rest will follow suit, and the next thing you know, someone will flinch, and here goes WWIII.

  21. Here’s the plan.

    Give Germany all the resources and manpower it needs and point it towards Russia.

  24. Europe needs to tool up.

    Ukraine has been a much needed reminder of just how much equipment and ammo you go through fighting a war.

    Arms producers aren’t getting the orders to justify scaling up production to the levels needed during an actual conflict.

  26. Germany’s problem is not that they don’t have weapons, but that they can’t find soldiers for their army.

  28. Germany is not even able to transform itself lol

  29. We need to use the German war potential and Belloc skills to finally push Americans out of Europe and regain our independence.

    And then move the ostilities to their continent and take back the colonies.

    After that, who could possibly stop us?

  31. The issue is, when to stop arming yourself. After you have proportional arms, you already started a new status quo, and arms makers will welcome more purchases. Money flows. Why not have a bit of dispropotional power? And after having dispropotional power, you start getting ideas. Multilateral disarmament is the way, not what’s happening now.

  32. Ah yisss the last two times they did that were interesting… 😀

  34. > Instead, their drills resembled a farce as the ill-equipped German troops were forced to use black-painted broomsticks instead of machine guns on their troop carriers.

    They’ll never stop with the “broomstick incident”, I guess, and of course misrepresenting the thing as always. This is NOT what happened… BW soldiers, for whatever reasons, put a broomstick on a command vehicle that wasn’t supposed to be equipped with a machine gun.

    > [[…]](https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/bundeswehr-soldaten-ziehen-mit-besenstielen-ins-manoever-a-1019001.html) During a maneuver in Norway, for example, broomsticks were mounted on armoured vehicles instead of a gun barrel. The wooden sticks were painted black for a better appearance. A Bundeswehr spokesperson rejected the report as misleading. The equipment in question was not needed during the exercise in September 2014. Rather, the maneuver had taken place before the unit was nominated for the so-called spearhead. During the exercise in Norway, the Boxer vehicles were used as command post vehicles, for which “no weapon system is intended”. Why the soldiers had nevertheless simulated the system was unclear, said the spokesperson. […]

  35. Just in time for the AFD to win the elections. Poland better arm themselves faster or else
