🇩🇪 Germany is Militarizing Again: The 4th Largest Army in the World?

Germany is now on track to build the 4th largest military in the world — a move that’s raising alarms across Europe and beyond. With a massive €83 billion rearmament plan, Berlin is modernizing its armed forces like never before. But what does this mean for Germany, for Europe, and for the balance of global power?

In this video, we dive deep into:
- Why Germany is ramping up military spending despite its economic recession.
- How Berlin is cutting social programs to fund defense projects.
- The historic debate over the Bundeswehr, Germany’s army since 1955.
- Why only 8% of contracts are going to American defense firms while most funding stays in Europe.
- Major defense projects like the €26 billion F-127 frigate program, Eurofighter Tranche 5, and advanced armored vehicles.
- Germany’s push for strategic autonomy — reducing reliance on the U.S. military.
- What this could mean for NATO, Russia, and the global arms race.

History has shown us the dangers of a militarized Germany. So, is this a step toward European independence — or a dangerous repeat of the past?
