Three quarters of Germans consider the United States to be an unreliable partner, according to a survey published on Thursday.
78% of those queried currently consider France to be a trustworthy partner and 74% consider the UK to be a trustworthy partner.
According to the survey, 40% consider Ukraine to be a trustworthy partner, while 48% of respondents believe that Germany cannot trust Ukraine.
Because it freed up government military spending, which we could use for healthcare, infrastructure, social security and education instead.
It’s not true. Military spending during the Cold War in Europe was substantial. It changed after 1990.
True.
But if we still had the standing armies, materiel and weapons manufacturers that we had during the Cold War, we and Ukraine would be much better off.
The problem is that we gave up on those, and it takes too long to get back on that level.
