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?
Here’s my perspective as a non-European watching this shitshow unfold: That’s fucking stupid. I mean NATO is a defensive alliance so what the shit?
The parties I talk about are not a fan of NATO, let that be clear. NATO has multiple authoritarian regimes under its wings, not only Trump but also Erdogan and Orban. Meloni’s Italy is not too far off either, so I suppose that makes it hard for leftist parties to get behind it.
That’s fair.
