Europe Must Urgently Prepare to Deter Russia Without Large-Scale US Support (last accessed on November 9.12.2023th, 12.50, XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.)
“The only way to end the war is to convince Russia that its prospects for military success will get worse over time, rather than better. This requires investing in the large-scale defense industrial production needed to make Ukraine's slow offensive progress sustainable. …
The most obvious example is Germany, which shortly after the Russian invasion made a public commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defense by 2024, in addition to a one-off €100 billion investment in revitalizing Bundeswehr capabilities. However, only €1.5 billion from the fund had actually been spent by mid-2023, and the defense budget as a whole actually decreased slightly compared to 2022. "
Article worth reading, which once again confirms my fears that Germany continues to abuse the defense budget!
I assume that this is intended to once again close gaps in the social budget and to provide for “cousins”.
And mine Blog post from August 11, 2017 remains valid.
