It might not be possible to spend this amount of money for one simple reason. Germany has a so called “debt break” which means, that, in theory, Germany isn’t allowed to increase its debt. This is written in the construction, so to change this you need 2/3 of the parliament to agree. Now comes the real problem, our leftist party and the AfD make up over 1/3 of the parliament so it isn’t possible without them and both parties don’t want to increase military spending.
This is about the Emergency Defense Fund.
This is unrelated to the “Schuldenbremse”. But still, some are trying to block this.
The new “Bundestag” won’t be in until 24th March. Until then the old one still has the power. So if they do it before AfD and Linke don’t have that much power.

History, for Germany or the rest of us, is not cyclical. I wish those in charge of America understood that.
I for one want Germany armed to the teeth
I want europe armes to the teeth. United, kicking anti democratic ass!
Nah. “Anti-democratic”, for the EU, is also anything left of van Der Leyden.
Nah that is only what the conservatives view as anti democratic. Anything that would disturb their company sucking status quo
Currently sliding along though. Hundreds of billions are heading towards pretty much all EU militaries.
Are you talking about money though? The German military is in rut for years under Merkel, and the number of German military personnel is quite low. It is France, Poland and UK who have the largest number of active personnel in Europe. What Germany will do is fund them instead.
Reported for misinformation, they patched that exploit. Now you have to manually justify wars before having your civil war to form the “totally democratic” EU in 1938, like some kind of Italian.
Bet the blinkers on the Panzers still dont get used tho.
