I’m sure absolutely nothing can go wrong with that!
Hmm I vaguely recall having heard this ambition before
I don’t want europes strongest army. I want a strong european army.
Username checks out
I think that’s part of the plan too.
But maybe Germany want their own army strong, because they doubt the military capabilities of the other EU countries.
To be fair that would be quite justified from what we have learned from history.
If an EU army is to be any good, a strong German army in the center of it is very helpful.
In the same way that a strong American Army was the center and commander of NATO forces.What about France, UK, Italy, Spain, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Netherlands…
A strong German army is a fairly recent concept or the past 200 years with the rise of Prussia and subsequent unification by conquest of Germany. Strong German armies are historically made to Invade and conquer the neighbors of Germany and they failed that more than they suceeded.
