Plus several billion in funds, 750,000 Ukrainians fled to Germany, are housed, schooled and funded.

Btw: The population of Germany grew from 82 million to 84.5 million in two years, in spie of declining birth rates.

100 billion Euros extra fund for Bundeswehr, 200 billion for energy prices, after 100 billion for Corona in the last two years.

Federal budget in Germany is half of US military budget. Consider that.

This has nothing to do with Ukraine, or energy prices. You aren't the only ones experiencing winter.

This is a treaty you've been in since post WWII. You agreed to the terms in 2006.

Stop whining "we're spent out". Germany is the richest economy in the EU. If Greece and Estonia can do it, if the UK can do it, you can fucking do it, you sad sacks.

Your government let your military go to shit in favor of cowering under the US's shield, and now your coziness with Russia is coming out.

You have no excuses for this. It's not a new requirement, it's not an emergency requirement, you've literally been a deadbeat debtor on this for decades.
