    e: seriously though, I’m not worried. Germany loves neoliberalism too much to effectively reindustrialize and remilitarize

    they basically weren’t allowed to have one because of their role in WWII. To their defence, one strategically and economically strong country should also have a strong army

      Germany accepted rules limiting troop size or banning nuclear weapons but I doubt there was a rule that forbade Germany from writing a strategy paper.

    For the analysis, Russia, not China, is the biggest threat, even for the transatlantic US, for the forseeable future:

    Russland als für die deutsche, europäische und transatlantische Sicherheit auf absehbare Zeit größte und unmittelbare Bedrohung.

    But it is China that had a trillion dollar trade surplus. They will use it to control global markets which will make it difficult for Germany to stay profitable and to finance the expansion against Russia. The strategy is incomplete without taking China into account.

          That is the popular belief. Why would the American elite not impeach Trump if it were true?

            American Elite aka oligarchs who dream of a world where they control everything like the oligarchs in Russia?

            I would say they don’t revolt because they love it.

              Don’t they already own the politicians in the US? In Russia, Putin controls the oligarchs. Why would the US oligarchs want to hand over control to Putin?

      All deployments of the German military outside of Germany are either supported by the host country or by a UN Security Council resolution right now.

        Does a rightwing extremist Germany with a powerful military seem like a good idea to you?

          Germany is not the US. As in currently there are not right wing extremist running the German government.

            Lol you don’t think Merz and his rightwing coalition form an extremist rightwing threat?

            The center right is hopeless to stop the far right even if they weren’t lying about wanting to rein them in.

            Merz only leads to Trump like figures, so yeah Trump is worse, but that isn’t much consolation?
