Germany announced a new military strategy with the goal of building “Europe’s strongest conventional army” by 2039.
Defense Minister Boris Pistorius revealed the proposal speaking to the German parliament on Wednesday, and detailed a public outlining for the “future direction” of the Bundeswehr, the German Armed Forces. One of the goals of the plan, the German Defense Ministry said in a statement, is for Germany to take “more responsibility” within NATO.
“We are developing the Bundeswehr into the strongest conventional army in Europe. In the short term, we are increasing our defense and resilience, in the medium term we are aiming for a significant increase in overarching capabilities and in the long term we will establish technological superiority,” Pistorious said, per Politico.
According to Politico, the new German military plan states that while the United States is indispensable for NATO, it notes that “Washington is increasingly oriented toward the Indo-Pacific.”
The Defense Ministry said that the new German military strategy calls for a “fundamental rethink” on the “overall concept of military defense” consisting of the military strategy and capability profile of the German Armed Forces, a personnel growth plan for the Bundeswehr, and a new strategy for the nation’s military reserve in addition to a new agenda that amins to “reduce bureaucracy and modernize the system.”
“The starting point for this is a fundamentally changed international environment. The security situation has deteriorated significantly—especially since Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine,” The Ministry’s statement read in part.

All those military-age Arab and African migrants will come in handy.
Or will it just be the native Germans who will serve?
Islamic Army?
If it goes sideways, we shouldn’t involve ourselves a third time or imply we might. Americans to the rescue has worn thin.
That sounds like the 100th anniversary of something happening.
They can then complete the takeover of Germany.
Germans arming themselves to the teeth; what could go wrong?
Should’ve been already. Call me skeptical.
Revenge of the painter…
Part of the Caliphate?
Beer hall recruiting stations?
One fine day in the near future we are really going to miss our current US dominated NATO
Germans were happy to use multi-ethnic forces in their "Aryan" SS forces last time around. Russians, French, Bosnians, Albanians, Croats, Ukrainians, as well as assorted Baltic and Nordic countries. Most of the Muslims were in the Handschar (13th) Division.
Didn’t they try that in 1939 too?
OOhh!!!
Islamic Rapist Division!!!
The Germans should just accept that they have no chance to achieve this goal. It’s pure propaganda to believe that they could become the strongest military in Europe. Right now, they are lightyears behind Poland.
To be fair, if Germany was to be invaded with the same resources that Putin used on Ukraine, they wouldn’t last 24 hours. Further, the Germans have become completely dependent upon Russian oil.
There is a single similarity between the modern Germany and the old Germany of the 1930’s. In both, the people received propaganda and completely believe it. German Government will fully deceived the people, and they have willfully accepted the lies. They have lost their nation, to Islam and to Leftists, and have no way to protect themselves.
Arabs and Africans will turn against Germany watch and see. embrace the destruction of Germany you dolts.
Trading in their Leopards for Camels. Goofy idea.
“Germans arming themselves to the teeth; what could go wrong?”
The next nuclear war will start in Europe - guaranteed.
If you’re not counting Russia, that shouldn’t be much a challenge.
