As Russian aggression continues and Trump’s US threatens NATO, it is even more vital for a unified defence of the continent.

    If anybody wants to know “what’s been taking so long” responses like this are probably the reason.

      To be honest, I am glad Germans are arming themselves. I even hope, that if the time comes, they will be determined enough to send their troops east. As a Pole I really hope, this time, they will do it in cooperation with Poland, not with russia.

        I’ve got bad news for you. AfD will probably take power, starting in German states this fall…just like the NSDAP did. They are Russian puppets through and through.

        If anything the Eastern European states should be afraid of German military spending at this time.
