When German military spending exceeds 3% of their GDP we can worry about another Ribbentrop pact.

Until then I just wish they would pull their own weight.

The Bundeswehr has been second only behind the US military in terms of international deployments, for a while.

And this mess with Russia actually goes back to when Helmut Kohl recognized the independence of Croatia and Slovenia from Yugoslavia, so they kinda provoked it. They even had the nerve to provoke a rift with their allies—all the way back in 1991. In light of that, you would like them to continue to “pull their own weight”?
