There was a time when German rearmament would have caused shockwaves across Europe.
Since Ukraine’s invasion, Germany has completely transformed its foreign and defence policy, with an €100bn increase in defence spending.
But the German armed forces have seen decades of underfunding, so how much will this strengthen the country’s military capabilities?
And why was Germany so slow to change its foreign policy on Russia?
Newsnight’s Diplomatic Editor Mark Urban reports.

Twenty-seven people have been killed and almost 400 evacuated after a Russian strike hit a warehouse near Kyiv, triggering a fire and a series of explosions.
Regional governor Tymur Tkachenko said a further 42 people, including four children, were injured after the Russian drone strike in the Bucha district.
An investigation has been launched into whether ammunition was being stored at the site, where search and rescue operations were ongoing early on Saturday.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence said in a statement that its forces had targeted “an ammunition depot” in the Kyiv region village of Myla, which stores “components and launch boosters for FP-1/FP-2 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles”.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his condolences to the families of the victims of the strike, saying that more than 300 emergency respondents had been deployed to the strike area.

Every time you order clothes, groceries or household essentials online, there’s a chance an autonomous robot helped out.
Inside warehouses across the world, fleets of autonomous robots are changing the way orders are picked, packed and dispatched. Much of this technology is being developed in China.

37 people have been killed after a huge explosion at an arms depot in Ukraine which was struck by a Russian drone. The ams storage facility was based near a residential areas on the outskirts of the capital, Kyiv. Hundreds of people have been evacuated from the area and a rescue operation is continuing, with fears that the death toll will rise.
Shells, mines and drones stored at the facility exploded in a massive blast that destroyed nearby homes nearby, including a care home for the elderly and disabled.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky strongly criticised the location of the depot near people’s homes, saying an investigation had been launched into “terrible negligence on the part of those who stored explosive right next to people”.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence said that its forces had targeted “an ammunition depot”.

27 million dead Soviets 💀 27,000,000💀 Every single number of these had its own story. Every single number was once conceived, born and then died, usually at a very young age. An incredible number. During the four years of the German-Soviet war, that's 18,500 people EVERY DAY. Hourly 770. Every minute (!) almost 13. Unbelievable.

Mr. Shultz is doing right but im worried if Deutschland and France are being led away from truth by its Nato allies…
Media outlets such as BBC should also cover the alternate views of intelligensia, such as Jeffrey Sacs, a renowned economist from USA, who clearly explained during a recent interview in Slovenia…. https://youtu.be/lNaUN07DJtQ

Germany hasn’t increased the number of troops that are fully equipped and deployable within any period of time up to 30 days and instead relies substantially on other nations for its defense.

In Europe we are building up our armaments as a necessity
Putin and the CCP are absolutely at fault. We were cutting back our spending, but they started a new Cold War, so things had to change drastically

In those 22 milions deaths of soviet people there were about 5 to 8 milions Ukranians, 2 milions Poles, 2 milions Jews, 2 to 3 milions Balts, 3 to 4 milions Bielarussians. Only in Soviet Union I am not talking about Poland it self etc. – according to Norman Davies. So why is Germany not concerned about those nations? And why it doesnt recognise their loss? I am asking WHY?

I am a former german soldier. I was a gunner on the Leopard 2 A5 and A6 back in 2003. In that time I was proud to be there, in the german army. It is a shame to see how much they damaged our military and so our power to protect our country (or helping neighbours). So many years of incapable politicians.

Well, the Anglo-American duo has been coming up with excuses for German rearmament and concocting conflicts on the Continent ever since WWI. The peak of continental European independence from Atlanticist imperialism was when Europeans flipped Anglo-America off during the Operation Desert Fox in Iraq. That was sweet. Too bad they didn't have sufficient firepower to fuck them up once and for all and organize one big final Nurnberg trial for the real transatlanticist slave-trading KKK Nazis.

the german army is already growing again since 2013. And even in their current state the Bundeswehr ist one of the top 3 armies in Europe and the #13 in the world.
Only nuclear superpowers and the last armies with consripted men are before them.

For all these stoidi (right/left):
The Germans did their homework already twice.
The first time they defeated the Russians militarily and forced them to the Peace of Brest Litowsk. This treaty provided for Finns and Ukraine independence.
The stoidi in London nullified this treaty.
The second time the western stoidi supported the Russians.
I think after all this there are no further obligations for the Germans !

Mein Großvater diente unter Joachim Pieper in der 6. SS-Panzerdivision an der Ostfront und an der Westfront gegen die Briten und Amerikaner. Er operierte Tiger, Panther und auch kleinere Panzer wie die Panzer 3 und 4 in den frühen Stadien des Krieges, als er Frankreich in einer Woche und die Krim in zwei Wochen eroberte. Für diese Leistungen wurde seinem Kommandanten vom Führer das Ritterkreuz verliehen.
