In his first address to the Bundestag parliament on Wednesday, Chancellor Friedrich Merz vowed to rearm Germany so that the country would have the “strongest” military force in Europe.

Following years of chronic underinvestment in defence and relying on the United States for protection, Chancellor Merz told lawmakers that “strengthening the Bundeswehr is our top priority” and will make “every effort to continue to achieve the greatest possible agreement between the European and American partners.”

In this context, Merz promised to expand Germany’s military forces “into the strongest conventional army in Europe,” Die Welt reports.

Only hiring DEI and LGBTQ will make it a funny army to watch.

The way in which Trump has altered the way the world sees itself is amazing indeed.

What could go wrong?

When Germany keeps its military weak, people whine that Germany is parasiting off of U.S. protection.

When Germany builds up its military, people whine that Germany is returning to its Nazi past.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

LOL...all of the Euroweenies and MSM laughed and shook their heads when President Trump 45 in 2017 told them they were pikers on defense and the USA wasn’t going to carry them any longer. And here we are.

Field Marshal Rommel is laughing at this from his grave.

[crusty old prospector]

Heil, Merz!

[Chicory]

Yeah, my first reaction was (jokingly): He is a fascist; he is Hitler!

But in reality, all that the Germans have to do is to say they are building an army of an appropriate size for its population and defense needs. Avoid saying the biggest army in Europe...

Democrats did Nazi that coming!

[JonPreston]

It seems every 80-100 years or so Germany tries to build a military that is the envy of all. It always ends the same way, so go run your mouth Merz. I’ll be over here watching and remembering history.

This time Poland will welcome the Germans!
