Why? US only spends 3.4% of GDP on defence.

And a massive leap from around one percent just a few years ago. Congrats Vlad, you’ve remilitarised Germany.

How will they get the money? Are they planning to create their own military industrial complex? Are they planning another world war? The far-right is rising again after all.

hey buddy, this isn’t in Palestine or Lebanon or something where your favourite genocidal apartheid regime can just kill civilians, mainly being children. Your аss isn’t ready for a nuclear war.

In 1939, the Nazis spent roughly 30 percent of GDP on rearmament. Some way to go, Boris.

you should spend the money on stuff like welfare instead. You shouldn’t wish for militarism, especially considering your history. And the fact that the far-right is on the rise again in your country. Fascism and militarism go hand in hand.
