What he missed in this speech...is that somewhere in the budget, some government agencies will have to take cuts of a significant nature. Once this is realized, the sentiment will go ‘south’.
Deutschland über alles...
One of the biggest historical mistakes in history was allowing a nation that started 2 world wars to exist. It should have been destroyed for good as a nation state. Europe will rue the day that the German army gets off the leash
The Ukrainiacs on FR will see a dominant German army as a good thing. Anything for the cause in Ukraine. If I were Poland I wouldn’t put my eggs in one basket. Islamo crazies will be a big part of the German arny in decades to come due to demography. German arrogance and islamism. Look out
Gee what could go wrong?
Hitler and Islam and the Turkish model. German and Turk fusion https://www.wsj.com/articles/book-review-ataturk-in-the-nazi-imagination-by-stefan-ihrig-and-islam-and-nazi-germanys-war-by-david-motadel-1421441724
Only about 3 decades from now Germany may have the largest muslim population in Europe, with around 20% of people in Germany connected in someway to islam. Think about how that will change the landscape. The attitudes. By 2075 1/3 may be muslim. Imagine an army with ranks of young muslims.

I’m fine with them doing that. We can help them along and disband NATO and let them start and fund their own treaty to protect themselves, then.
The truth is that this is just a pipe dream brought on by UKRs success thus far in staving off the Russians and Sholz wants to take on an EU army leadership role (backed by NATO, of course).
In reality Germany doesn’t have the resources to it by itself. They can’t even ensure they’ll have the energy to run their cars and heat their homes for this winter...
Too bad Germany is going to be bankrupt in a year.
Proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Russia was right to worry about Germany(NATO”) invading via Ukraine.
White Flags are number one seller on Ebay in France right now.
Gee we told you bastards that for decades and yet you failed to carry and pull your weight in NATO
And now that reality bites you’re singing a different song
Yep they are going to up the number of working tanks in their inventory from 2 to 5!
Else they will have to cut even more social benefits and work a 35 hour week instead of 30, while cutting paid yearly vacations from 1 month to 2 weeks. Astounding!
They are going to somehow rebuild their military using home industry, since their metal working factories are shutting down due to lack of Russian N. Gas.
What’s his new very big for word for it ? LOL
Reading this thread has proven the validity of a statement I’ve often made on this forum.
The only thing wrong with Europe is Europeans.
