US and NATO are trying to force Germany to spend more on defense

Germany and other NATO countries must increase defense spending. This would make the distribution of obligations among NATO members fairer.

This was announced on Monday by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at a press conference in Brussels.

This statement was made by him on the eve of the first videoconference since the election to the presidency of the United States Joe Biden, where the defense ministers of the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance will gather. It will take place tomorrow.

At a press conference, Stoltenberg called the overall high defense spending a necessary condition for the mutual protection of NATO countries. He proposed using additional funds for deploying troops on the eastern flank of the alliance, patrolling the airspace and military maneuvers.

The secretary general also announced that at the upcoming meeting he would propose to introduce certain requirements regarding the minimum standards of defense of NATO countries. In addition, he would like to make more frequent consultations to coordinate actions at the political level of the 30 states of the North Atlantic Alliance.

According to the American publication Politico, the new US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin intends to remind allies in the alliance of the need to invest appropriate funds in strengthening military power.

The US and NATO are stubbornly and so far unsuccessfully trying to force Germany to spend more on defense in the first place. Tomorrow they will have another next attempt. And the main goal is, of course, not the collective defense of NATO, but the maintenance of the huge bureaucratic apparatus of this military bloc and the promotion of the products of the American military-industrial complex on its territory.

The US and NATO are stubbornly and so far unsuccessfully trying to get Germany to spend more on defense in the first place.

Ну и что?
Is it PROFITABLE for the states?
Yes!
Is it profitable for Germany?
And hell will understand them!
Here are the mattress covers and press.

Ancient NATO wisdom says: "Take care and protect Russia! For there is no Russia - there are no billions from the Congress for defense."

[Thrall]

They still have a whole list of threats in store - China, Iran, North Korea, Ebola, aliens ...

Exactly. Question from the Russian Federation: NATO, and NATO ... why did you push the troops to our border and the tanks with planes?
And in response NATO: And this is in order to better protect you Russia!

Germany and other NATO countries must increase defense spending. ...

Here they are these cash cows for the US military-industrial complex and the Pentagon, otherwise the money has become "not enough" to arrive.

Well, we went through this in the last century. Germany must remember how the increase in defense spending ended under Adolf Aloisovich.

Why not? During World War II, European countries resisted Hitler from several days to several months, despite the fact that the people living at that time were much more severe and militant than they are now. With the Germans, yes, I had to tinker, but nevertheless they drove under the plinth. And now, judging by the fact that NATO regularly tries to kick exactly Germany, we can conclude that it just does not burn with the desire to fight with Russia, unlike the United States and the flawed Baltic countries and other "Young Europeans" to suppress which the mattresses themselves take from 48 to 72 hours.

We cannot repeat:

In the city of Pereslavl-Zalessky, Yaroslavl Region, scientists from the Research Institute of Space and Aviation Materials (NIIKAM) located there have created a polymer material for use in the aerospace industry, the Department of Regional Development and Foreign Economic Activity reported.
The department explained that the new composite material is 10 times lighter than aircraft aluminum and is able to withstand temperatures up to 1300 degrees, while remaining resistant to fire. The new material can withstand a pistol shot and is able to gradually regenerate. In addition, the same alloy can be used as an antenna.

Something tells me that there should be no "edge" for the NATO countries.
They are there one for all and all for one. This means that all should be raked for one.
One rock the boat, all of them shoveled in their capitals.
Maybe then they will rock the boat less, otherwise all the European mongrels hope to hide behind the American back.
But if the Americans know that they will rake in their cities for the greyhound of some kind of Baltic mongrel, maybe then they will put it on a chain and they themselves will be more respectful.

This situation ended 20 years ago, and they have already shown the whole world many times with their Caudle that they have neither consensus nor desire to fulfill NATO's covenants (except when they come from the banks of a muddy puddle).

As for the production under sanctions and without, something came to my mind:

And where are the sanctions? The USSR lived under sanctions all its life, and, regardless of our policy, they became tougher there from time to time, but there were 6,5 goods that were simply stupidly forbidden to supply to the USSR, for example, machines for three-dimensional processing of materials, computers of a certain power, but did they survive?
We had our own industry! When Khrushchev asked one designer if you could make such an engine, the designer replied: in the USSR we can do everything that does not contradict the laws of physics.
What's going on now? We cannot launch the rocket that Gagarin flew into space! Not new, but in general we cannot do the same, because we have everywhere the so-called "middle class", there are no locksmiths, no crane operators, potatoes and that shortage in the Moscow region, the Germans wanted to make a factory for the production of cheeses, so no milk they didn't find a damn thing! But there is a three-mensional printer, so I invite everyone to get milk from it.

Are you a road builder? Do you know all SNIPs and GOSTs for road construction?

This is what the morgue looks like in KO inside:

Proof for how our morgues look and how they have (their bodies rotted in their cars when there was not enough space)

As for the production under sanctions and without, something came to my mind:

And again you lied, first you destroyed the country, then you introduced sanctions. BUT! We launch rockets into space, make our processors, feed half of the world with our agricultural products ...
There is a lot more to list, but you keep shouting that everything is gone, since no one is reacting to this anymore.

[Finches]

These mourners cannot prove anything - everything is gone, the client leaves, the plaster cast was stolen ...! Now they will tell you about the minimum wage in Angola!

We drove in a record, but it's a pity to throw it away. So they twist and twist for a year, EPRST!

Germany is not fucking profitable. Germany has internal problems above the roof, in the health care system and other areas that must be urgently addressed. not least support for small businesses due to the restrictions associated with the crown, so most likely the Striped ones will be politely and culturally sent with their Wishlist to the forest

US and NATO are trying to force Germany to spend more on defense

Still trying? A year already this news:

Germany will pay US-level contributions to NATO's overall budget from 2021, according to the German newspaper Deutschlandfunk.
The decision to reallocate costs was made by 29 member states of the military alliance. According to the new agreements, from 2021 the share of Germany in total spending will increase from the current 14,8% to 16,35%, while the share of the United States will decrease to 16,35% from 22,1%.
The publication clarifies that for Germany, such a budget increase would mean an annual overpayment of € 33 million, while the United States, on the contrary, will save more than € 120 million a year.
On November 27 (2019!), German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Germany should take more responsibility for NATO's unity in Europe and thank the United States for the existence of the alliance. She also pledged to increase Germany's defense spending to 1,5% of GDP by 2024 and up to 2% by early 2030.

Boring, girls. A week ago:

Another scandal in Europe. However, in recent years they have already turned into a boring routine there. This time, the reason was the question posed by the inspector general of the Bundeswehr, Eberhard Zorn, in his letter to the FRG government. “How will we explain to Biden when he arrives that the promised money to increase military spending to 2% of GDP, we simply do not have?»

Both the United States and NATO - they can dance at least kachuchu, even if they kiss negroes in ... kissing shoes - there is NO money, and Happy New Year!

Scandals - into the studio! Burgers are completely insolent, smother them with sanctions!

I don't know what world the author of this article lives in, but in the real world Germany has been increasing spending on the Bundeswehr for the second year already. Even if not to the level that the United States is pushing it to. BUT costs are increasing.
