Why? Germany has a rather restrictive and responsible policy with regard to sales of military equipment. Uniquely, half goes to EU, NATO and NATO-equivalent countries (Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Switzerland). I don't think you're going to bag a Pulitzer Prize with this one.

@dskyy2001 Don't flatter yourselves. With the oil price in decline, the US shale oil companies are being forced out of the market. There goes your energy independence.

@리주민 Nope. There's been a EU Battlegroup, a standing army of sorts, in existence since 2005. No one needed to reapply to or resign from NATO or the EU on account of it. National and international military formations are not mutually exclusive, like you suggest.

@toveirenestrand3547 It bears reminding that only Russia's minions -- who're also a dying breed -- bought the bullshite about the Crimean status referendum. International recognition of Crimea being part of Russia is next to non-existent. Fact.
