Mrs Merkel’s government on Friday announced a defence budget of €47.32bn (£41.5bn) for this year, an increase of ten per cent compared to 2018.
It also promised a further increase to €49.67bn (£43.5bn) next year — the equivalent of 1.38 per cent of GDP.
But the figures still fall far short of Mrs Merkel’s pledge last year that Germany would meet the Nato 2 per cent spending target within the coming years. Germany, which is by far the largest economy in Europe, is ranked only third in terms of defense budgets behind the UK at €54.9bn (£48.3bn) and France at €61.0bn (£53.6bn) in 2019.
lmao maybe they might have more than 3 fighter jets ready to go now

Protip: Drop that shitty G36 rifle and go with an AR type like the HK416.
Ryan Gonzalez
Good. Kick us out already so our kike industrial complex can't waste money ooccupying you anymore.

>Protip: Drop that shitty G36 rifle and go with an AR type like the HK416.
The G36 is going to stay, simply because it performs well in colder climates that are not massively dusty like Germany. We really don't want to fight in very hot sand countries anyway and we should not. That's the job of the Americans.
Outdated? How? The basic tenets of building a gun have been the same for decades. The AUG is also regularly being improved upon Bullpups are shorter, which improves performance in urban environment or shrubland/forests. They are lighter/back heavy making turning the weapon easier The STG, in particular, is easy to handle, clean and maintain. It performs well in every weather and climate and can take a lot of abuse
Please send millions of your new Syrian-Germans back into the Middle East to fix it
Luis Jones
You Germans have already been defeated from within by Mohammad.

To take the (((polak))) stolen clay back, krauts need to stop financing them, no need for military
Jonathan Nelson
I'm pretty sure that reply was sarcasm. But that's how I can tell you're a real German and not a foreigner. That thought process you guys poses is insectoid tier. And I don't mean it in a bad way. It's actually intimidating. Thankfully, your people poses a soul and philosophical qualities and concepts such as empathy, sympathy, love, etc unlike the East/SE Asians. This is why I fear the Chinese, they are like Germans without the German humor, beer and sausages.
Isaiah Cox
Clearly it will be the HK433
Michael Murphy
Didn't even know this thing existed. What a clusterfuck.
It's awesome. It will be what the SCAR was supposed to be.
Isaiah Stewart
Now that you say it, it reminds me of the SCAR quite a bit
Nicholas Foster
How is it supposed to be better than the SCAR? For that matter how is it better than the 416?
David Gutierrez
Hmm.
Jeremiah Barnes
Looks like Germany is upgrading those brooms to shovels.
Dominic Rodriguez
Why don't you like it? Does it look to heavy for you?
Hudson Lee
Careful, they have a long memory.
Aiden Gonzalez
What are they going to do, kick us out the EU?
Lincoln Jones
It will be cheaper and more widely adopted. The 416 is based on the AR15 which does not allow for a folding stock (inb4 autistic solutions that expose the buffer to debris) which is a requirement. It basically unites the best aspects of the G36 and the HK416
Leo Perez
Just seems like some snowflake shit.
>Shelfmod
Owen Wood
>best aspects of the G36 oy
Leo Hughes
It looks like a SCAR to me.
Ethan Clark
>AR18 with folding stock and lightweight construction is bad uh
Austin Myers
Give us a call if you want some tips on invading yourself and reclaiming your country.
Jack Johnson
I urironically don't like the prospect of the germans arming too much.
Jack Phillips
How do I lose my colonies and make a brown colonial the mayor of my capital city?
Grayson Kelly
the army is to use against YOU
Nathan Mitchell
Wasn't she supposed to be resigning or out of the government already? Is she chancellor for life?
Juan Cox
No rolling malfunction when going full. Also the cheek welds are shitty. They kinda screwed the pooch on the SCAR, had a good platform going and all.
Brayden Butler
No, she announced that she won't seek reelection and isn't party leader anymore
Samuel Gonzalez
>Merkel’s pledge always remember how she flew to Washington to announce that under her leadership Germany would have joined the war against Iraq. This is how she became chancelor.
I get you, The Rolling Stones - Paint It, Black gives me Vietnam flashbacks. I didn't serve(Millennial) nor did my family. It's just one of those things.
Jaxson Jackson
Trump is forcing you to do it because you barely spend anything you lazy ladyboys.
Brandon Morris
>I urironically don't like the prospect of the germans arming too much. you understand that Germany is a completely submissive vassal to US and Israel interests? It is just an organ of Washington power. Maybe it will turn into a EU imperial power in some decades but then it will be EU, not Germany.
