To: P.O.E.
Germany currently spends 1.2% of their GDP on defense.The US pays 3.3% of GDP for defense (world bank figures) but we have global commitments that Germany does not have.

German per capita GDP is $47K. US per capita GDP is 56K.

I'd say that in the interest of fairness Germany needs to at least double their defense spending.

To what end? You said yourself that Germany does not have the global commitments that the U.S. has taken on.
