  1. ​ @FurryCruz  Since WW2 Germany has been nervous about taking the lead in military affairs.

  2. Actually there's a committee to first to deteime the road map to a meeting for dissucing a framework for future meetings on how to best manage a goal for less bureaucracy in order to set future goals. That is after they investigate the best method to do so then audit the process 3 times.

  3.  @DaLHunt44  enough to make russia stop flying military jets over our northern islands and stop getting their military ice breakers stuck in our ice. The rescue of russian crews is getting tiresome.

  4. In perun we trust.

  5. ​ @DaLHunt44  are you going to make a point? Or keep vaguely criticising?

  6. ​ @momosanchez5025  if only russians would leave people alone. However 14 border wars and over 30 deployments in Africa since 1991, make people understandably nervous 😓

  7.  @DaLHunt44  pay who more for what? Canada already announced they were procuring F35 IN 2018 along with a new fleet of subs. The F-35 deal was finalised last month finally.

  8. Yeah, replacing the old equipment with new equipment.... which is by most definitions, in fact an upgrade.

  9. When west and east Germany United they inherited a massive soviet stock pile. However they kind of just sat on it never throwing things away until it was almost impossible to upkeep. This has been a huge problem for Germany. Like spending 120 million euros to repair an old ship, instead of scrapping and replacing it for something new and cheaper.

  10. Yet both sides still use it. People always claim things are obsolete, yet I still see trenches and AA cannons. War, war never changes.

  11.  @stupidburp  good thing nobody is doing that

  12. Their GDP is 4.26 trillion.

  13. Didn't Canada say no until 2018?

  14. @Phillip Banes it wasn't cancelled it was in the works for 5 years being discussed and just recently finalised.

  15.  @niweshlekhak9646  your talking about something completely different. I'm talking about the 2018 negotiations to buy the f35 started by the current prim minister. Not a deal from the previous PM 12 years ago.

  16.  @niweshlekhak9646  yet in 2018 we started negotiations for F-35 and finally penned a deal at a fair price.

  17.  @niweshlekhak9646  we were paying almost twice as much for the 2011 deal.

  18. More melting guns, and 9 year investigations to determine if US helmets can fit a German head.

  19. ​ @SCH292  a while back the plastic furniture over the barel was melting in fire drills.

  20.  @SCH292  it wasn't debunked and Germany lost their lawsuit against the manufacturer. You can read about it on reuters. The contract never specified the plastic shouldn't melt, so they technically did nothing wrong and couldn't be held accountable. The issue has since been fixed but it totally was a thing. Even perun goes over it in his Bundeswehr video last year. "The Heckler & Koch G36 has no future in the German army in its current state of construction," von der Leyen 2015 when the scandal broke.

  21. ​ @rizkyadiyanto7922  wait, the partition of Poland again like in ww2? russia going to get the baltics, Finland and Romanian lands again?

  22.  @grigol101  russia mobilised first in ww1 and they worked with Germany to conquer most of Easter Europe in ww2. russia has started more wars then any other modern nation.

  23.  @grigol101  I do know how russia turned a small war in the balkins into a world war. remember when russia signed the molotov ribbentrop pact and Invaded half of Poland in 1939? Then russia invaded Finland in November. russia invaded the baltics in 1940. Followed shortly by bessarabia. If it wasn't for russia both world wars would have never went global. However they always escalate and try to take more land. Oh and P.S kaiser wilhelm wrote letters and telegrams begging his cousin nicky to leave it be and not get involved, because Germany felt it should be left to Serbia and Austro-Hungary. However cousin nicky refused and mobilised. Knowing full well he would trigger a series of alliances and treaties pulling the world into war. Thanks nicky 😳

  25. @Phillip Banes perun has a pretty good video on the European defence industry and that's not a very realistic depiction.
