And they're both leaving us, just slowly and surely. Slowly as in pretending to be allies still, surely as in making sure they're in good with Russia and the rest before they walk away.
Turkey and Israel wish to survive as nations and peoples.
"Europe" is led by DC flackeys who only care about themselves.
"The administration thinks in terms of processes, not results."
This is the core pillar of American governance.
The other pillars are greed and malice oblige.
Germany is not a nation in the terms you discuss, they are a territory of the American Empire and are treated accordingly. The SDP doesn't have to be serious, it has to obey: and_follow_the_process.
It is not just a smaller military it is a military that can not fight: Even with Germany's much smaller military much of its equipment was/is NMC. In 2018: Only 95 of the army’s 244 Leopard battle tanks were operational, none of the German navy’s 6 submarines and 15 frigates were in service. 10 of the 128 Eurofighter Typhoons were mission-ready. Only 26 of the air force’s 93 Tornado fighter-bombers were mission capable.15 percent of its helicopter force was operational. The NH-90 is not even considered suitable for combat. Think about how the lack of available equipment also affects service member training and readiness. "an annual review of the state of the military [2008], said Germany's soldiers were fatter than the average citizen"
Their NATO allies blew up Germany's energy pipelines. They have paid the price for being the industrial center of Europe without a Reich military to protect them.

Socialism envelops all and the military is just another expression of society's values.
Everyone is a entitled, follows all rules so as to not shut off "free" money.
Why have initiative when everyone eats the same bad - but "free" - meal?
