For the 4 year period ending in 2013 The Hun spent 1.3% of their GNP on their military. America, under the Dims/socialist, spent 4.3%.
Germany is not likely to spend any more money on its military in the current
European socialist/Marxist grip they find themselves in.
They are not in any “grip”. They put out the money of their own volition. It is the common people that object, as they are right to do, but the elite class does as they please.
Take note of Gauck’s comments regarding a “common defense”.
If the Bundeswehr were permitted to rev up, some of the socialists who can’t get a job might be attracted by a military career. The Germans are not a sloppy people.
