Reply to comment by akaasa001 in Berlin Won’t Allow Exports of German Tanks to Ukraine Unless U.S. Sends Its Own by Torifyme12

Even in GDP terms, they're far outclassed by Poland and the UK, it's just embarassingly shitty how little France, and especially Germany, have given, compared to their economic ability.

Germany would rather strip mine coal as the US goes greener, and get one upped by the US in military support as per usual. They won’t be able to afford replacements, unlike the US that spends more on its military a year than Germany makes in its GDP.

They could have given nothing, right? And still be a western country. Germany has to spend another 200 billion this year to compensate for energy prices.
