"German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced a plan to beef up the German military on Sunday, pledging €100 billion ($112.7 billion) of the 2022 budget for the armed forces and repeating his promise to reach the 2% of gross domestic product spending on defense in line with NATO demands."

"It's clear we need to invest significantly more in the security of our country in order to protect our freedom and our democracy,'' Scholz said.

"Germany reported a record high in NATO defense spending for 2021, submitting a budget of €53 billion for the current year.

"That figure marks a 3.2% increase over the year before. In 2020, spending was capped at an estimated €51.4 billion".

And let's not forget the mad rantings of the bloodthirsty Annalena Baerbock.

"German Warmongers Are Going to Kill Us All"

In a Washington Post article titled “Germany’s Green foreign minister is taking the lead on Ukraine”, Baerbock is profiled as an aggressive warhawk:

"As soon as she became Scholz’s foreign minister, Baerbock immediately seized the initiative. She visited Washington, Brussels, Paris, Warsaw and Kyiv before Scholz did.

"Intent on restoring the prerogatives of the foreign office, Baerbock announced in March 2022 that her department would draft Germany’s first national security strategy, a vision for the country’s role and aims in the world.

“Security policy is more than just the military plus diplomacy,” she declared. In another speech, she proclaimed the need for a government that would “boldly take action.”
