If Germany had to increase defense production under these circumstances, how would that work?

@thedadstale Ah. "Official numbers". During a war. Gotcha.

@stephenwabaxter Yeah, this whole thing was a blunder that handed a lot more power to China. I'm not quite so convinced as Peter is that China is going to catastrophic decline. In a world where they were the only one with a demographic problem, he'd have a point; but China only has to be healthier than its neighbors to sustain an edge.

@thedadstale And the Germans are already sending their tanks there. And the Ukrainians are losing. Ignore the information war -- look at the actual front lines. Instead of retaking Crimea, which Zeihan said would happen when the Kerch Strait bridge was attacked, the Russians have taken more ground. Germany's going to have to step up and defend itself, unless it's fine with suing for peace.
