Never thought I would see Germany resurrecting its military industries, and even welcoming it with open arms

Germany will not fail in taking Stalingrad this time.

Remilitarize the Rhineland!

The parties hoping to form Germany’s next government have agreed to overhaul borrowing rules and create a €500 billion ($536 billion) infrastructure fund in a tectonic spending shift to revamp the military and revive growth in Europe’s largest economy.

The defense spending increase from $86 billion in 2024 to $120 billion would bring Germany’s defense budget within striking distance of the $149 billion, or approximately 3.5% of GDP, needed for German forces to plug the huge gap in the capabilities of its military to meet national defense needs and commitments to allies, according to the Bruegel Institute.

Leaders of the conservative Union bloc agreed with the center-left Social Democrats to exempt military spending over 1% of GDP from the debt limit, as well as a 500 billion euro infrastructure fund for civil and disaster protection, transport infrastructure, hospitals, energy infrastructure, education, scientific research and digitization. Economists estimate that the measure, if passed, could enable a trillion euros in new borrowing and spending over a decade.

Russia couldn’t even beat Poland these days.

They arent in power yet and who knows if they will actually do it. It is the CDU/CSU we are talking about

This took 60 years too long, but good stuff, Germany!
