Germany increased its defense spending by 8 percent in 2017 and is set for a 7 percent increase in 2018, the biggest 2yr increase within NATO percentage wise. These increases will take Germany to 1.3 percent of GDP and put it on track for 1.5 percent by 2022.
Among big spending items are: - a tank upgrade and modernization drive, both for heavy and light tanks
- the new procurement of 120 fighter bombers in 2018 to replace the Tornado
- the general overhaul of the u-boat fleet (all 6 have been in maintenance or major upgrade mode since mid 2017)
- the increase of active troop levels to 200k, which by 2021 will be the largest number in Europe only trailing Russia
- commitments to the EU military
- the new drone and fighter program with France
- the establishment of a medical center of excellence for the EU army
- the expansion of the number of frigates and support ships
- procurement of heavy transport helicopters from America
We all now know how "restoring democracy" in poland will end...

Why must invading Slav clay be always the first thing a newly armed Germany does?
Joshua Allen
>+40% So 350 instead of 250 tanks? I'm sure Ivan is shaking in his boots already.
>Brit complaining about Germany not being armed enough wew
Mason Baker
France is full of frenchmen.
Jack Hall
Better than nothing, lad. They are pouring money into the Bundeswehr from all sides. 7-8 percent spending increases per year over several years is not too shabby.

Call again when the Royal Navy needs an actual enemy to sink it.
Daniel Nguyen
>1.3 percent of GDP Whoop de fucking doo. 2 percent is supposed to be the bare minimum.
Mason Cook
didn't we discuss this yesterday and pretty much came to the conclusion that your army is irrelevant and that the greeks poles and romanians are literally the wall between you and russia?I mean ffs you have 80 combat ready leos while the russians have 10k tanks not counting in the reserves
Ian Mitchell
6 is all we need. They are support vessels today. The days when you torpedoed merchant vessels to win wars are over. Today you use u-boats to deploy special forces and for spying. 6 is enough.
We need more jets and bombers and ground attack aircraft and light tanks and armoured personell vehicles.
Luis Sanchez
If your government doesn't uncuck this new army is more likely to attack them than Russia
Benjamin Robinson
We're calling now, come get us Bulgaria, bring your EU friends. The more of you we send to the bottom of the ocean the better for this planet.
Come get us turdskin gyppo.
Caleb Watson
And yet 80 percent of NATO is not at 2 percent. 2 percent is unrealistic, 1.5 percent is fine.
Jacob Bailey
Yes goyim, build tanks against a nuclear arsenal.
Nathaniel Ward
For what reason? Russia isn't going to invade and our biggest enemies are muslims and the USA.
>russians have 10k tanks not counting in the reserves
russia has 450 T-14s and upgraded T-90s. The rest is museum shit from the Soviets, mostly “in reserve” aka museum pieces.
Easton Wood
Don't say that you'll just get more europoor memes coming
Pretty embarrassing to supposedly be the richest country in Europe and pretend you can't afford 2% of GDP when plenty of other countries do it.
Lincoln Jones
>waging war with tanks in 2017
Brandon Wood
We just dont know how we are supposed to spend so much money. The size is capped 370.000 so we can´t just hire a bunch of dudes to sit around all day. We would have to bulid nukes and aircraft carriers to get rid of our huge budget and nobody in the NATO wants that.
Parker Perez
Track tanks are useful in ground warfare but the air force and navy are what matters really. Ground troops for raping and pillaging.
Dylan Perry
>2% >meanwhile, US and Germany run this shit
As usual, the lesser nations only want Germany to pay more gibs, gibs gibs, gibs. As long as is seems that there is something to get they all behave like nigger countries only wanting gibs. Only the US stays strong because they are #1.
Charles Nguyen
>italy trying to have an opinion on war
Alexander Rogers
You think you could wait for us to come before sinking?
Brandon Bailey
Isonzo
Angel Scott
bro the t-80 and t-72 have 125 mm guns and good optics with proper ammunition it can got through the front plate of any modern tank
Juan Harris
2 percent is more than doable and far lower than the 1980s norm. Stop giving money to sandniggers if you find the budget is tight. Today's bundeswehr isn't capable of doing anything and minor budget increases over many years isn't particularly noteworthy.
Elijah Watson
> Ground troops for raping and pillaging. Well GB seems to be about 1400 times more prepared than most in that regard.
Caleb Rodriguez
Now if only nuclear power were revived…
Luke Perez

Carson King
Do you think your nation will ever get a ship? You've got 6 months to get your ships together, you've been given enough time to prepare and we've thrown you even more time with this cock up and still you don't have a ship to come at us with.
Still lagging behind the 3 million Germany allowed into the mainland.
Jeremiah Jones
A navy is useless for land powers like Germany and Russia.
Michael Gutierrez
Meh, Russia have couple of old su-45s standing by to take germanpoop tanks out for 1/4 cost of your newly overpriced tank.
Christian Edwards
Hans, Russia has a shit ton of upgraded T-72B3 which is equal to T-90A youtu.be/QpyYicU0fxc
William Collins
You anglos don't need fugees to turn into a pro muslim police state apparently.
Michael Howard
Except when you have to invade Normandy.
Andrew Adams
>a tank upgrade and modernization drive, both for heavy and light tanks
desperately needed given how shit the Leopard demonstrated itself to be in Syria
>- the new procurement of 120 fighter bombers in 2018 to replace the Tornado
literally why
germany exclusively uses its tornados for recon, so why does it need bombers
>the general overhaul of the u-boat fleet (all 6 have been in maintenance or major upgrade mode since mid 2017)
Germany won't have a single sub on patrol until mid 2018 lmao
>the increase of active troop levels to 200k, which by 2021 will be the largest number in Europe only trailing Russia
literally recruiting tens of thousands of non-germans
>commitments to the EU military
lmao
>the new drone and fighter program with France
ahahahahaha
>the establishment of a medical center of excellence for the EU army
lol
>the expansion of the number of frigates and support ships
oh boy, not seeing any power projection there
>procurement of heavy transport helicopters from America
that's right
>replacement of the main field rifle
will you be buying or manufacturing brooms?

Because those just fly in with no opposition.... wait that's not how war works.

Why would we do that though.

There's only so much rape and mosques and island can take.

Maybe thats why you are never global powers
Jaxson Young
cool let us know how that goes for you germanistan.
Kayden Scott
Can Muslims join the Bundswehr?
Jack King
swabians are cheap and hated by everybody except the swiss, their cousins.
Logan Young
The only reason Russia and Germany aren't global powers is, that you (((anglos))) keep sabotaging german-russian relations. Because you fear a german-russiand alliance, as it makes your fleets completely useless.
Logan Reed
Yes.
Carson Ward
I'll do it with your mom on this new beautiful tank
Adrian Price

There isn't such a thing as nato minimums you sperg. You stupid cocksuckers just want everyone else spend another six trillion in the middle east.
Where's the threat? Most Europeans seen Americans as the largest threat.
Michael Martin
>>waging war with tanks in 2017 >air force
It depends on how much A2/AD catches up. We can imagine a future in which air force is useless, gets shot down immediately and then tanks become king again.

Matthew Lewis
Yeah because we looked at you and came to our senses.
lol. So you have no interest in taking out ground radar systems, SAM sites with ship launched missiles from safe distance? God no wonder you fuckers lose wars.
You actually don't understand your graph, look at my link and get educated you stupid retard.
Yeah and the total number of shitskins in this country is still less than the number that Germany allowed into Europe between 2015 and 2017. Let that sink in, Turk.
Joshua Lewis
We are the biggest european economy, we hold the most power in the eu, we are going to have a larger defence budget than russia. Anyone, who denies Germanys position as a alnad power is a fucking idiot, that shouldn't talk about politics.

Bullshit. Most of swabia =/= stuttgart The rural parts (that make up most of swabia) are just as conservative as most of bavaria.
Jeremiah Carter
Currently living/studying in a swabian dominated area. This is true, swabians are the biggest German shekel hoarders and they are also the most degenerate manchild scum around. I think only NRW is worse in terms of degeneracy.

I have more faith in the Polish military than the German. Also, you're talking about having the strongest land army in Europe "by 2020."
Let's see if Merkel lasts the year, because if not your country's financial plans are going to be shit on and bye bye any increase in military spending.
Nathan Lopez

>Swabians are the biggest German shekel hoarders true. We like money. Got that from our swiss friends. >most degenerate manchild scum Leave the cities. Noone works harder on the land. Swabian culture has been tainted by city-babies.
Eli Stewart
Reminder that last time you tried you needed the whole world to put us down, indebted yourself beyond ever being able to repay it and lost your entire empire, while we just rebuild and are again the main power of europe.
Eli Jenkins
The reality is once Trump is out of office, whether that is tomorrow of 7 years from now, the US military will become a mongerlized anti-white club wielded at anyone who doesn't use the correct pronouns or "believe women".
France, Germany and the UK will have to band together with Europe and achieve military parity with America as soon as possible or risk invasion. Countries that are over-80% white are in serious danger from the United States.
Daniel Evans
Yeah, tell me more about how few the middle-easterners are and how many asians you have.
Andrew Rivera
Funny how they keep going with the Russia narrative when in reality Germany is clearly doing it because it wants to fight US for control of EU armies. Now that US doesn't have a big commitment to NATO, this is the moment for the Germany to take over as the military force of Europe.
Isaac Martinez

maybe this time we ally with Germany and won't listen to the Anglo lies
Lincoln Hernandez
>Countries that are over-80% white are in serious danger from the United States. this is truth, but what can we do about that?

The rest of the old British Empire will put down nigger island before taking up arms against Germany. We learned our lesson and have reflected on our mistakes.

And still not as cucked as Germany. Thank Allah.

Ohhhhhh does he understand it now?
50 nuclear missiles will end you quickly. God bless nuclear weapons, I can see why you want them so badly.

Poland doesn't support the EU. Once it turns into the EUSSR, there's nothing stopping Europe occupying poland
Anthony Ramirez
You're on the right track, but missing the point.
Merkel and Juncker have long sought an ascendant EU. King Nigger wanted to increase global governance, which naturally resulted in a decrease of US hard power and influence, especially in Europe because Barry-O's foreign policy played into Merkel's and Juncker's hands.
The EU doesn't want a reversal of what it has had for the last 8 years, hence the chimpouts we're seeing from the continent.
