The Bundeswehr is unhappy with the plans of German legislators to reduce the army

October 28 2021

Now the leadership of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, together with the free democrats and "greens" are working to create a ruling coalition in the Bundestag (German parliament). Despite many differences in the positions of these political movements, they came to a common opinion that the German Armed Forces needed to be reduced.

The newspaper Die Welt writes about this.

The publication notes that the Bundeswehr is unhappy with the plans of German legislators to reduce the army. They worry that after the reduction, the German Armed Forces will not be able to ensure either the defense of their country, or effective participation in the international missions of the North Atlantic Alliance.

According to the German press, German parliamentarians are not satisfied with the constant growth of defense spending in Germany. They think it's time to stop him. Their position does not correspond to the plans of the German Ministry of Defense, headed by Ms. Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, which plans to increase the number of Bundeswehr by 20 thousand people in the next decade, that is, from 183 to 203 thousand troops.

On the other hand, German journalists do not take into account that Germany is a member of NATO, an organization where the United States plays a decisive role. Therefore, the defense potential of Germany depends more on the American military contingent located in this country than on the increase or decrease in the number of the Bundeswehr.

It would be surprising if such plans were met there with joy.

  Yes ... the German military is decrepit.
  in both Germany (FRG and GDR) under arms were 600 thousand Germans, now - 177 thousand. Of these, 10 are undergoing retraining, another 25 are undergoing primary training. This means that the actual size of the army is no more than 135 thousand.
  
  Two times less than Paulus had at Stalingrad.
  How are we going to scare dear Russians now? The Wehrmacht and the SS were somehow blown away. How to explain economic failures.

      Annegret is asking for a leadership position in NATO.
      No wonder he grinds his tongue.
      It is unlikely that they will put it instead of Soltenberg, otherwise it will begin ... the Fourth Reich and all that, but in suede - quite, Kersti Kaljulaid.

    Yes, okay ... I remember after the First World War, they generally reduced the army at times. But the remnants were prepared in such a way that as soon as they increased their numbers, they got a completely combat-ready army.

        Prussia disappeared, the people fled all over Germany, the Prussian military school, the former basis of the army, disappeared. Probably nothing will work out now.

Whatever the child doesn’t amuse himself, as long as it doesn’t hang. The main thing is that the Wehrmacht would not be renamed.

  The ACC had somehow forgotten that she was already a lame duck. And the military can be understood - I really want money. And the hope for the United States is bad.

Unsurprisingly, the military is not happy. But the Minister of Defense is probably pleased, who decided that American nuclear weapons could be used against Russia, which means that a large army is useless.

The migrants must be fed, so the army must be cut back.

    Hello ... look at the root (Kozma Prutkov) the Bundeswehr will reduce ... but according to official data, there are already more than 1,5 million migrants. And if we assume that the Yankees want to slightly restrain the FRG for the SP-2, and not only for him, and for all sorts of free-thinking statements by German politicians ... and why should the Yankees not use these migrants and arrange a small whirlwind ... yes, there is also Bavaria raising its voice to leave the FRG ... thereby weaken Germany, or better in general take it out of the game so that they sit below the plinth and do not blather ... by the way, half of the gold reserves of the FRG are still in the STATES ... it would be better to grab it on the sly ... so who knows how it is there and why it is made Such are the statements (and the most interesting thing is being pushed by the "Greens")

Here I read the comments and am amazed that most of the commentators from Ukraine are on the hike, worried that they want to reduce the army in Deutschland, who will fight in its place with Russia, they will say that let the pan-heads fight themselves, because they have stainless steel head.

Reduced and well, it means they understand that the threat from Russia is fake and there is no need to spend state money.
Well done!

Well, not everything is as straightforward as the author presents, quoting die Welt.
Firstly, the original contains the German word "offenbar", which means "presumably" intended to be shortened.
Secondly, according to Merkur.de, the same coalition intends to strengthen the Bundeswehr with weapons, which is now in the process of modernization and billions of euros will be invested in this process in the coming years.
So, the German army, despite the efforts of Ursula von der Leyen and Aneegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, will be qualitatively strengthened.
The enemy does not sleep!
