The Germans are rich because they haven’t paid $hit for their national defense in over 70 years.
“The Germans are rich because they haven’t paid $hit for their national defense in over 70 years.”
That is true, but the story of the first half of the 20th century is the German war machine.
We paid a price then for the German’s ambitions, and now we are again paying the price, but with much less blood.
The savings from not spending three or four percent more has very very little impact on why Germany is wealthy. It helps. But it is a minimal piece of the puzzle
I agree with Trump on the subject
We squandered $6 trillion on counterproductive wars in the Mideast and only made the situation worse. With $6 trillion we could have rebuilt our entire country.
Blowing sh*t up in sandland is expensive. Do it enough and you’ll go bankrupt
