          Then explain why we have ammunition for 2 hours. At max 2 days, till we are out. Soldiers having to shout “Pang!” Instead of training with guns. And so much more!

          We dont spend shit on military

            Maybe, just maybe, your military is a corrupt industrial complex that funnels taxpayer money into corrupt warlords, and giving them 800 billion wont help?

              Thats not it. Its the bureaucracy that sucks up a lot of money. And the ministers under Merkel wasted the money on advisors and looking good. Not spending it on equipment. Especially ursula von der leyen. How she became EU president, after failing as both family and then military minister, is beyond me

              Edit: we arent spending money on warlords lol Now i know you are a tankie or vatnik. It also isnt 800 billion. If you mean the EU spending, thats for the entire EU, which has a lot of countrys, idiot. If putin and his warcriminal cabinet were to now get back to 1990 borders of ukraine or even better the 1917 borders, pay for the damage they have done and demilitarize, stop provoking and calling for our distruction and constantly threaten with nuclear war and spying and cutting our cables, then we wouldnt need to spend money on military, which i would support very much. But allas genocidists gonna genocide
