Will Germany Become the Military Power it Once Was?

Annette Groth discusses the three demands by the U.S to Germany to increase its military power and presence overseas, and the new right-wing minister of defense Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer. For now Germany is loathe to send troops or ships to Syria or Hormuz, but Kramp-Karrenbauer has already announced her intention to increase military spending to 2% of GDP, which would turn Germany into a military giant.

  1. We germans woulf have the money and the motivation of being a great military power, but our government is holfing it back. We are Not intrested in wars and conlficts

  2. Me as a German resident can say u that we will never get so strong as in 1944 because the politiks sucks in German and The politicians are full of incompetence. So No but if we get stuck in a war we will get fast strong bacuese we produce Military stuff like Tanks,weapons and such kunda stuff.You need also Consider that if we get so strong probably the half of the wirld woud see us as an Enemy that is very dangerous.

  3. we USA spend 750B on our army and other country, Germany say they will pay 3% to NATO but no they lie. they only paying 1.3% why do other country paying there share while Germany refuse pay there share. if Germany don't want pay then they can build there own army up and pertact them self and don't rely on us . you can fight Russia by yourself, bet wont take long for them to do it once they hear Germany isn't pertacted by USA or NATO. screw Germany i dont want our guys there too. why should USA keep spending all on money all these country.

  4. "left party" i think you should mention its the former GDR Kommunist party that only changed its name after 1990. Good objektive interview partner lol.

  5. we have to stop being pussy after all death is just the way to live if all u want is peace u live a hell of a boring life and that drives us crazy give man something they can fight for and if its only for honor but something they can be proud of humans need wars we like war movies we like war games we kill ourself in video games but thats not the same the moment you face a dangerous situation thats the moment you feel alive but in our life today we just sleep until we die what a bullshit of a life and if we dont make war and get rid of nuclear weapons and fight fair then we will really destroy human existence cause no peace is for ever and the longer the peace the more rage and hell will rain on earth after this peace all things in life have his cycles and i asure u its not possible to break any cycle u cant be invincible everything on earth dies but the question is did you really live your life did u fight for something did u face death did your senses came alive cause the adrenalin fills your body? cause if ur senses come alive your life has a sense greetings from germany and ** leftists

  6. Yes!! Absolutely, l live in Switzerland and they’re absolute hardcore, and this is so-called neutral, alps-chocolate -Heidi Switzerland.
    Germans are tough and they’re going nowhere. They will rise again and claim Europe !!!

  7. Germany sure has a lot of women in power making their military decisions not sure if wise or not. If i was german with son or daughter in military i would be pissed thry not spending the two percent they originally agreed as translating to me they don't care about my child by providing best equipment, training, repairs needed for military to run efficiently just my opinion. I remember 10 years ago talk that germany was supossed to unite most of Europe as one standardized army and be a serious power this never happened.

  8. really interview a political party that is full of former stasi members and radical leftwings? next time better interview politics from the healthy mid/right

  9. Ich weiß nicht was, die hier labern, jeden Tag wird es schlimmer auf der Welt und wir haben gerade mal 180,000 Soldaten. Da können andere Länder einfach mal in Deutschland pfeifend reinsparzieren. "Allegedly accusing Russia for whatever kind of things, Russia is doing or not doing", ja Krim war mal so nebenbei.

  10. Use the military to make germany, German again. you don’t need to do foreign wars when the threat is in your borders

  11. Sorry but being German and knowing many who have done the voluntary military service I can tell you that the German Bundeswehr has so many problems which take up a lot of money. For instance: (excuse bad translations please I will translate words literally) The company (Kompanie) my friend served in had a storage for 12 armoured troop transport vehicles. They only had 3, they had to lend one and another was out of service to a private company for 6 weeks to fix a bend trailer hatch whilst military mechanics sat around doing nothing. When you join you get to see so many vehicles, equipment but the German army has nearly nothing working and war ready.
    Its so bad that the liberal party and even the green party want a military parade to show the horrible money sink that is the German army. The German army also has issues with politics as AKK predecessor was a women willing to take down companies and advisors who did a great job to keep her vest clean, see the whole "The G36 deforms when shot" when in reality after an hour of sustaining heavy fire it could still shoot accurate to 250m.

    I am sorry for my terrible English, I wrote this more or less in a hurry as well, if anything is unclear please ask :).

  12. Germany could take a reverse-Versailles approach. Whereas in the 1920's 30's they furtively rearmed whilst being banned from doing so now they could just as easily pretend to be spending on armaments while really channeling that money out the back door into social spending.

  13. Well, Trump uses the military budget to build his wall. Germany has to improve infrastructure. So the Germans could increase their military budget to 2.0 GDP and use it for briges and autobahn 🙂

  14. Are you kidding with reports like te a.m.? The Gern Forces are a desaster: Just abt. 90 tanks in service, APC Puma useless until upgrade for a mere 3 Bio. € for just 32 of them, no Sub., no new standard rifle, no winter tents, clothing etc., hardly 4 of the 90s "Typhoon" ready for service.Tornadoes have to be cannibalized to let the 6 in Jordania fly. The A 400 can't use poor runways and carry heavy loads.The list goes on and on.
    We are daily joking that Luxemburg will defeat us in one day in case they'd want to. Germany is a mess. Get real!
