Germany announces €100 billion special funding for its armed forces

[Zhukov]

Have been saying it for long time. Everyone is underestimating the Sleeping Giants of Europe. World have never seen an Independent United Europe.They Ruled the world when they were rivals. If they are United being the most Industrialized and Advanced region in the world imagine what they can achieve. If US shows signs of weakness in european theater. It might trigger Drastic changes across Europe.

Congratulations.

Germany was too long leashed by anglos ( UK/US).

Germany leading Europe will provide new stability to Europe as they are the most rational actors in Europe and will end the dependance of Europe on anglos who manipulate this dependance and drag them along to further their hegemonic objectives.

Hopefully the new emerging multipoler world will end the era of 'might is right' countless useless wars. ( only time will tell).

Breaking news

Just watching live the speech of Olaf Scholz.

Thanks Putin war of aggression against Ukraine

Germany feels threatened and now it will increase defense spending to $80 billion minimum per year. New joint fighter jets with France, new drones from Israel, buying F35 as nuclear bombers, upgrading Typhoons.

For this year, Germany will increase spending by $120 billion.
That’s unprecedented.

Will be lots of tanks, submarines.

Germany says it will defend every inch of NATO territory.

Will this allow Germany to stop being a lap dog of the US? I doubt.

All these weapons can only be used with the permission of the US. Germany will continue to be a lackey of the US.

Many countries can seize the opportunity to implement many of its policies that it has not been able to put into action for years and that it has not been able to prepare the public, by using/instrumentalizing Russian aggression.

German defense industry has faced many vexing problems (particularly in naval matters) in recent years, But if it mobilizes its industrial capabilities and depth with strong funding, it can produce what would be like the awakening of a sleeping giant.

IMHO, opening the money taps to Armed Forces is never a problem for Germany; The problem is the unwillingness to out of US-controlled European design, fueled by historical trauma.

Will the Russian crisis give Germany this opportunity? Or will the US have the opportunity to re-tighten the screws that have been loosened for the last 20 years? The answer to this question will determine Europe's next century.

Regardless, Putin has touched the nerve endings of the world order. Perhaps history will write these days as the return of empires, err, I mean power centers.

My concern is how will this impact the MENA. EU needs to diversify its imports of oil and gas.......looking at the strategic battle space. Will the EU spend on new pipelines and trade links to the MENA? Will they permit more migration to counter demographic declines? For Germany in particular its not as easy as buying more tanks.

F. Not again.

 

[Zibago]

the correct title would be "Germany enters arms race".

Not the sequel we were looking for

 

[CrazyZ]

Not the sequel we were looking for

I think the MENA can benefit from all this. No shooting war between NATO and Russia will happen. For MENA nations its best to stay neutral and trade with both sides.....focus on development.

Regarding Germany, the US has been pressuring Germany for many many years to raise their defence funding
.
They ALWAYS refused.

Trump threatened them many times to increase their defence expenditure to 2% of GDP

They refused and resisted the Americans and other NATO countries to arm.

They refused to give weapons to Ukraine for 8 years while Russia occupied Crimea and then later Donbass and Luhansk.

Even when it was obvious Russia with 190,000 men with thousands of tanks and planes were massing on 4 borders with Ukraine.

Germany refused to send a single bullet.
Instead send a few helmets.

No country has RESISTED arming itself while being a major economic power more than Germany and also Japan

Putin is the reason why Germany is FORCED to arm itself , No one else.

No, most barbaric people still run in their blood disguised as peaceful people now just as Jap, just waiting to erupt ! When they are totally armed, it's going to be disastrous for the whole world, WW III will start.

Defence companies will make a killing

fourth reich when?

welcome back germany, lol

4th reich moved to Palestine after ww2. They have rebounded as Israel

 

[Turingsage]

This is not the 4th Reich.
Germany is very reluctant to arm, forced into action by Putin's brain fart.
Putin has put nuclear weapons on highest alert.
These are the actions of a mad man.

Coming soon in 2030-2040!

Great series!

100,000,000,000 euros...

How fast can they rebuild their army?

 

[etylo]

Deja vu. Existing times ahead. Communist China ignited arms race in Far East, authoritarian Putin threatens Europe they can’t complain when other start military buildup.
Whether or not Germany needs 3,000 tanks like they had in Cold War?

You are talking nonsense, your Viet sugar daddy Yankees drive the whole world into world arms race, and the sav*** Jap drive East Asia into arms race as Jap military expenditure was much larger than that of China for years ! China just increased its military spending normally as its economy expanded in recent years. As a matter of fact, Chinese military spending growth still lags far behind its economic growth ! Chinese economy is 80% of US economy now, but Chinese military expenditure is only about 25% of that of USA. So, don't blame all your world problems on China !
