  1. They are amending their constitution right now, to make military funding an exception to their economical "Golden rule" (that forces them to execute a balanced financial policy). Furthermore, they have decided that it is more important to fight Putin than inflation, and had agreed to common european debt, and to exempt defenese-spending from the european debt-rules.......If you would know a litlle bit about german national character, you could see that this is as dead serious as it gets. If they are willing to break this three tabus (inflation, debt rules and common european debt) they are ready to put their people in uniform, and have them ready to march through Poland to fight Russia. This is basically like a very religious and peacefull person, suddenly renouncing all his principles, and saying "OK, I am going to hell, but you all are going to come with me" And if Poland, Germany and France are on the same paige, the rest of the EU will fall in line, shout "Jahwoll", and march to the east. Even my own president (Spain) who said there would be no increase in the defense budget, is right now backtraking and anouncing a never seen increase......and we and Portugal are as far away from Russia as it gets........ They have woken a sleeping and chilling giant. And they will live to regret it........

  2. We already did. Your problem is, that the benefits of that payments went to your big coporations, wich, for some reason I cannot fanthom, you refuse to tax in order to give the money back to the tax-payer. Basically YOU pay the bill, and your corporations get the benefit. You can expect the sales of your weapon industry to plumet in the next decade as we focus on local-made, cheaper, and more efficient products, wich we already have in small numbers,, but we simply cannot mass-produce (for now), because we have always bought 60% of our material to the US (not because it was better or cheaper, but because we wanted to have good relationships with the US). There was never a market (with few excptions) for EU made weapons, because of the dominant position of the military hardware and knowledge coming from the US, for political reason (you protect us, we buy your stuff) Of course, you can always get your goverment to buy MORE weapons for your armed forces (wich you will need, if you pretend to fight China on your own) to make up for loosing your first foreign market, but guess who will be paying for that extended military budget......it will not be the european tax-payer........ You see, when you, the people from the US say you want see us spending more on defense, WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN is that you want see us buying more of your weapons. But why buy weapons from an unreliable ex-ally?

  3. @ Nope. I was just fine with the EU chilling and not interfering in other peoples buissness. You see, we have only been "civilized" for the last 80 years......before that we were..... not as nice people as we could have been....... and by that I mean that we have been slaughtering our path throug other peoples bodies for the last 2.000 years, with a special mention to the last 500, where we basically had our boots on the necks of the rest of the world (except Afghannistan, NOBODY messes with Afghanistan) My concern is that, if we find ourselves back in a true power position, we might get back to our old ways.......... That`s why I am saying that you (the rest of the world) might regret waking us up from our 80 years nappy-nap.......

  4.  @passageuncharted1585  So let me get this get right. You spend the day whining that we don`t buy your stuff, but when confronted with the fact that you are going to loose the biggest buisness you have with us, you say you don`t care? I will just strongly supose that non of the people writing here works in the defense industry or has any family member or friend working there! You are on the verge of loosing your second biggest market! Surely this will not lead to any layoffs, because corporations, in general, are known for NOT firing people when their sales diminish, right? How is the egg price, by the way?

  6. @ Really? We shoiuld not trade with China who cuts our internet sea-cables, but should instead buy more of the stuff from the country that destroyed the German-Russian gas-pipeline to erase Europes unwillingnes to get itself involved in Ukrain, and sell YOUR gas to us AT FOUR TIMES THE PRICE the russians did? Really? Right now, China is percieved as the reasonable guy, while you, are our greatest threat..... Good ridance.......

  7.  @Yoshirama  That`s what you say NOW, when they are higher than anytime before. And don`t think that firing the guys in charge of controling avian flu will do anything to lower the prices in the next future.......... I read the other day that iin New York they are selling them by units, and not by dozens......... How much? 10 dollars and a half a dozen?
