Germany decides to leave history in the past and prepare for war
-
Yes, but EU defense spending now is a hundred billion higher and is projected to increase by another hundred billion by 2027. That double of what China is currently spending, and AFAIK they don't have plans to increase it by that much.
-
That's a very artful headline. It's really bouncing around in my head.

As an Alsatian, I just hop they keep the AFD in check for the foreseeable future !
-
Oh, please. Germany never left history in the past. They’re still facilitating a long-running genocide in Palestine.
-
The budget, which adds up to about $245 billion, was announced at the National People’s Congress, the annual meeting of China’s legislature. The Pentagon and many experts say China’s total spending on defense may be 40% higher or more because of items included under other budgets.
That is for this years budget....

Seems to confirm what I said. And Germany is literally discussing non-defense spending infrastructure projects that aid defense projects right now, so this isn't much different from what those experts are saying about China.
-
More like the AFD's new arm

This time one right side of the history. Let’s hope.

There never was such a promise, it was one diplomat who sid that and it was pulled back almost immediately. And most of all, there never was anything close to official or formal offered in that direction.
And that a country does not like a defense union, that was founded to manage their aggressions shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
The only one responsible for Russia's aggression is Russia itself.

Yeah keep eating up the propaganda of how air defense, submarines and ships -that carry the aforementioned air-defense- (about 90%+ of all military deliveries to Israel) are used to genocide Palestinians and is totally not defense against actual hostile neighbours.
PS Also actual stuff classified as "weapons" in those military deliveries of the last years consist (after striking of training ammunition and some explosives for testing purposes in military development) one single order. One. That was for anti-tank weapons.

Counter question: What does prevent your stuff from getting stolen all the time? Your ability to lock your door and a state-operated police and judical system that oversees the adherence to laws or the sign over your open door that everyone can come in an take your stuff unpunished?
-
I'm not really sure that we Germans have decided that.
-
Is international law propaganda now? I've only heard Zionists say that. Are the headlines of UN health workers found buried with their hands tied behind their backs propaganda?
"Israel has a right to exist" is one of the biggest red herrings in political discourse. It's phrased to portray an abuser as a victim.
Israel does not have the right to do what it's doing now according to international law. Peaceful protestors in Germany have the weight of heavy handed policing coming down on them for this subject alone, exclusive of other subjects. Even a meeting with Francesca Albenese turned nasty - not at the hands of the group, but the German state.
There's more to just weaponry to a genocide, and Germany is complicit. So next time you're pontificating about facts, don't forget to include all of them. And check your definition of "propaganda".
-
You are just naive in thinking that weapons can prevent a war.
-
Yes a state judical system, but not you holding your neightbor at gunpoint, but that is basically what militarism is advocationg for on an international level.
If you will you contradicted your 2nd part of your post with the first one.

What da fuq? No! Don’t they learn anything from last century?
