Seig heil. Germany growing into the big dog on the block for all of Europe again. They are the one to contend with. I haven’t paid much attention to the Germany military since I retired from the Army. But, I served over there for 10 of my 20+ years. I just wonder if they are doing any build up.
Their military and intelligence fingerprints are all over the place, the Balkan wars were a direct result of Germany’s meddling.
Let them build up. They shouldn’t have to carry the weight of EU on their shoulders.
They won’t send their military. They have the specter of a little Austrian corporal hanging over them, and the world won’t let them forget it. After WW2, the world said (about Germany, at least), “Never again.”
Only relatively speaking. Germany has much of the same problems and a debt load that is getting a lot less attention than it warrants. And demographic problems that are very serious.
