      What a difference 100 years makes. This headline would have been very scary in 1925.

      hey guys, german here – even tho we have about 25% of right wing dip shits in our country, we are doing our best to not let this end in another genocide, trust me.

      i know historically speaking the numbers are stacked against us but we try our best, promise! 😀

      Seems like we only care about a fight if it’s against the US

      As A German: The headline sounds as if a giant is about to wake up. The German military is anything but and won’t be for a number of years.

    5. This will be good not only for our common security but also for German’s and European’s economy.

      Nice. But, please, don’t let the AfD win the next election. We don’t need another September campaign.

      It will take more than just alot of money to fix this. All the paperwork and processes need to be overhauled. The military basically needs a complete reform. And the german public needs to have mindshift too that its worth defending what we had here the last 80 years. Its gonna be alot of work but the more pressure is on germany and europe the bigger the will to change.

      Lets get them the minute they start adding skulls on their crests THIS time.

    9. Nice, now they can send the military after (JEWISH) activists who protest Israel.

      Is it even vibrating? Sorry for scepticism about “seismic moment”, but here in Ukraine only echoes of “till the end” and meetings to discuss (11 years so far).

      Folks, I have some reservations about spending a lot of money on the military. I am all for it, but I have a creeping suspicion that we will still buy mostly US weapons.

      How do we as citizens make sure that the EU buys European arms only with this money. I’m not German, I am Dutch, and I would hope that my German friends would want to make sure that this money is spent on Germany and European industry as well.

      Just thinking about CDU being in power again with politicians like Andi Scheuer or Jens Spahn… I’m quite sure a big chunk of that money is going to be embezzled.

      I am German.

      And I understand some of the concerns about our history.

      I also understand some people’s concerns about what would happen if the AfD came to power and the Bundeswehr was fully armed.

      Other “concerns” that Germany, or the EU, could threaten Russia EVEN MORE are ridiculous, because who is threatening Europe (not just the EU)?

      Who is attacking and destroying our undersea connections?

      Who is attacking our IT infrastructure to spy on it and destroy it?

      So, what should a response look like, like sending flowers and saying thank you?

      Germany is in the middle of Europe, our neighbors are also arming themselves so that we can TOGETHER defend our freedom and our basic democratic values.

      If WE COULD ALL live together in peace, that would be the perfect world, but we are a long way from that.

      But who knows, one day this vision will come true.

      Greetings from Germany.

      Oh oh last two times didnt go so well. Lets hope third time is the charm

    15. zutpetje on

      Were are the billions for attacking the real great existential threat; the climate collapse.

    16. Straight-Sky-311 on

      Collectively, if Germany and Japan were to rearm themselves militarily, their combined military might would surpass Russia’s. Putin would have more to worry about when that day is coming.

    17. Jayronheart on

      Welcome back, German brothers and sisters. Be free, and get stronger all you want. And let’s never shackle you up again, with chains and walls. Our strength is your strength, and yours is ours. Let’s get stronger together.

    18. amusingvillain on

      I’m worried bereaucracy would eat into all that money. We need to take inspiration from Canada, where they are aiming to streamline paper work so that they get big projects kickstarted asap, under the “1 economy, not 13” slogan.

    19. EquivalentTomorrow31 on

      Awesome. Absolutely nothing could go wrong when the AFD attempt to leave the EU and consolidate power.

    20. watch-nerd on

      Where are the soldiers going to come from?

      When I lived in Germany as an ex-pat, joining the military was considered a low status job.

    21. Tricky_Peace on

      Good thing too. It’s been a long time coming. I hope the German people can escape the shackles of their problematic past

    22. Fly-away77 on

      Fuck no. After building fortifications on the East, we must build fortifications on the West or better build fortifications around the entire Polish borders.

    23. Germany in 20 years time. A hard right party gets voted in and says ‘all this military what shall we do with it?’

    24. ProfBerthaJeffers on

      So now let’s hope they don’t elect an AFD chancelor.

    25. ChefLabecaque on

      I never thought I would be happy with a German army after… you know

      but ja! Jetzt geht loss! Fick die facisten!

    26. Curious_Associate904 on

      Still, not allowed a navy in any useful capacity.

    27. EclipseRinds on

      russia will just take the funding that was supposed to go into their military and put into Afd propaganda
