It took Germany, as a NATO country until early 2024, to reach the 2% of their GDP funding for their own defence that they agreed to in 2014. Now that amount has been raised to 5%. How will they be able to fund Ukraine’s war, and reach that 5% mark in the near future, is questionable. It took them almost 100 years to pay their WWI reparations, and they never paid back the U.S. banks they borrowed money from in the aftermath of WWI.

It's even more questionable considering Germany is deliberately undermining their economy and energy independence by focusing on ridiculous Net Zero goals.

Germany is near to, if not already in, a recession.
