Way to go, you MAGA vermin… you managed to get Germany to re-equip again.
Any idea what happens when Germany rearms itself, historically speaking??

The situation is different this time though: Europe is being threatened from one side and losing support from another. I read this as an attempt to take more responsibility.
Europe is being threatened from one side and losing support from another.
For now. Remember that fascism is knocking on Germans' doors right as we speak.
Have you seen how the far-right has been growing in Germany?
What happens if they build a bloody great army, then some cunt gets in and decides that they want to use their new toy?
Trump is itching to nuke someone, and don't think that his idiocy couldn't happen elsewhere
Pretty sure it's just memes. People mostly know, both inside and outside of Germany, that the EU is a phenomenal instrument of peace and prosperity not only for us germans but also the other members. And that Germany has nothing of value to gain and much to lose by antagonizing or attacking its neighbors and friends again.
Or, a bit more pointedly, we don't need to conquer Europe any more when they are all our economic vassals.
Good. Germany should have been leading this since 2014 invasion of Ukraine
It's such a waste of money and resources. We don't even have an enemy who we would need the "strongest conventional army in Europe" against.
Military spending is a self fullfiling prophesy. A country spends more because other countries are spending more. Recession kicks in and somehow the goverment has to justify its military spending when people are getting hungry, so it goes to war.
Europe was built on the promise of stopping war without military power, that's a step in the wrong direction.
