Military planners in Berlin played out a scenario in which a growing number of countries follow Britain in leaving the EU, resulting in an "increasingly disorderly" world, Der Spiegel reported.
"The EU enlargement has been largely abandoned, more states have left the bloc," strategists wrote in a study cited by the magazine.
"The increasingly disorderly, sometimes chaotic and conflictual world has dramatically changed the security policy environment for Germany and Europe."
Der Speigel said the study could inform German armaments programs in the next several years.
The scenario was one of six examined in a study of security challenges German generals believe could unfold over the next 23 years.
...
Other scenarios envisaged European countries embracing "state capitalism" and a halt to globalization.
A spokesman for the German Defence Ministry said the study, called Strategic Perspective 2040, made "robust predictions" but did not attach probabilities to them.
He declined to comment on content of the report, saying it was confidential.

And what is "state capitalism"? Any nation which rejects socialism? And how is that a threat to Germany?
This time, Germany gets to KEEP France!
And welcome to it.
2. "State capitalism" is that collection of nominally private enterprises, regulated by the state, that fulfill the material needs of the people. (To each according to his needs, from each according to their ability.) For a fuller description of this see "The Fascist Doctrine" by Benito Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile.
Disorderly?!?!?
Everybody knows that Germans love order!
I guess the peaceful transition to the fourth reich is out of the question now. Frau merkel and her Brussels cronies now are going to have to rely on the muslim hordes that they unleashed on the EU to do the job for them.
They probably do not have a plan for Visegrád Group armies invading southern Germany to block a northern German Islamic Army from joining forces with the French Islamic Army.
The good thing is that if the Germans even try to create a Fourth Reich, the Russians will make most of Germany look like the back side of the Moon...though it’ll glow in the dark.
That's right! We had France as an ally in the last war. It's their turn now ...
State capitalism is where you admit you need capitalism but you really want socialism. So you manage business and industry to ensure the good of society. Got a bankrupt company With 1000 employees? It will continue producing while the government inputs funds to keep it surviving.
Once all the Germans were warlike and mean,
But that couldn’t happen again.
We taught them a lesson in 1918
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then.

And the Muslims will keep both.
And the sanctioned Muslim invasion is the gunpowder.
Sounds like the Democrat Party practices here in the US.

Main battle tanks:
Russia: 22,710
Ukraine: 3,784
Germany: 2,500
I suppose that it’s the old quality vs. quantity thing again. But Germany would have trouble with the Ukraine, let alone Russia.
And just for kicks:
United States: 8,725
France: 527
Great Britain: 227
It’s worth noting that Morocco has more main battle tanks (871) than France and Britain, combined.

Top three European militaries are practically France, Ukraine and Poland is a distant third. Don’t trust German numbers. They might have two thousands tanks on paper but one in ten is actually working and such estimates are actually optimistic.
I was with a TOW company on the Kuwaiti front in the ‘90 to ‘91 war.
Tell me how many A10s or their equivalent each side has now.
That will be veeery difficult because ALL the street signs are in Austrian!
