With the Germans, there’s always the potential for them to kick some butt in Europe.
The Germans have been peaceful and set on business for decades but I wonder if they were motivated they could go all meanie again in short order. I remember years back when the French offered them nuclear weapons—they said thanks but no thanks. They said if they wanted one they could build there own—said they could put together an atomic bomb in less than a week! An H-bomb would take a month or so!!! I have noticed—even today—they have a sort of national arrogance. The French have it too but, save for cooking, they can’t back it up. The Germans can and do.
