Europe could face threats from Russia by the end of the decade, and EU countries need to build up their defence industries to be prepared, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said during an interview published on Welt am Sonntag on Saturday.
It’s an internal message. The German government just had 60 billion of their planned budget yanked away by a Supreme Court ruling. (They had planned to reroute unused money set aside for covid measures to the general budget. The court denied this, because our constitutional debt ceiling can only be ignored in an emergency, not for general spending)
Now every department is facing harsh budget cuts and every minister tries to argue why the cuts shouldn’t hit their department.
Pistorius is saying “if you cut my budget, you might as well start learning to speak Russian”.
Knowing germany, this sounds like a threat

Russian army is a joke if you look at their technology. I’d say it stinks like old mentality

I know Germany. Been there many times. And, no.
You and Germany are like 🤞
You don’t know Germany. Even with a lower case G.
