The Financial Times reported in early July that Germany plans to borrow 800 billion euros to strengthen its military again.
This is part of NATO’s new plan: the United States wants European countries to take more responsibility for their own security, and Germany also wants to play a leading role in Europe and compete with Poland for leadership in Central and Eastern Europe.
Former Russian President Medvedev warned that Germany’s remilitarization could be dangerous.
Russian expert Trenin also believes that the EU is now more likely than the United States to bring Europe into conflict with Russia.
The German government is promoting this plan mainly for two reasons.
First, it sees international relations as a struggle between “democracy and dictatorship”; second, it hopes to develop the military industry and help the economy get out of difficulty.
But Germany’s industrial problems also come from high energy prices and competition from Chinese companies.
Large military spending may affect social services and people’s lives.
Russia believes that Germany is becoming its most serious security threat in Europe.
If the EU led by Germany attacks Russia, the conflict could even escalate into nuclear war.
