Berlin has invested hundreds of billions of euros to rearm since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and aims to play a major role within the North Atlantic Alliance, particularly as the US moves toward isolation.

Thank goodness they read the writing on the wall!
I don’t want to be that guy, but the last two times Germany increased its military spending, things didn’t end well.
Probably due to regime type and not due to the schnitzel. Germany has been a liberal democracy for several decades.
True. Unfortunately, however, the Nazi party AfD is quite strong in Germany, whose success is largely due to the fact that the same US corporations that enabled openly fascist candidates to win elections in the US also control the (social) media landscape in Germany.
If we want to preserve our democracy, I believe there is no way around finally putting a stop to the influence that mentally ill billionaires have on public opinion.
Otherwise, Germany will probably end up in a similar situation to the US: With a government made up of corrupt puppets whose Nazi ideology essentially serves to conceal the fact that they are pursuing disastrous, neo-capitalist policies that are exclusively in the interests of the top one percent.
It’s decreasing democracy that leads to trouble.
