Having lived in Germany for fifteen years....I can offer this judgment on Germany expanding in Afghanistan. ZERO percent chance.
The Greens and SPD both have made exiting Afghanistan a major priority. In recent weeks, there’s been continual articles about German troops returning to the country with war stress. The public gets a dose of this catastrophic problem with German troops on a nightly basis with the state-run news channel. So any discussion about expanding...will be mostly laughed at.
I doubt that anyone in the German government takes Biden serious in his statements.
