Russian aggression and US isolationism push a once hesitant Germany to invest heavily in defence.

This article is about Germany rapidly increasing defence spending, and also the fact that they’re considering conscription. I also found this interesting:

A recent YouGov poll showed that 79% of Germans still see Vladimir Putin as “very” or “quite” dangerous to European peace and security. Now 74% said the same for Donald Trump.

Thoughts?

    Call the Kremlin/White House/Zhongnanhai, I think you’re onto something there.

    “Diplomatic Solution” is only viable if rulers care about pre-war military economics. Authoritarians don’t always do that.
