It is a realistic scenario that the Bundeswehr will go bankrupt in 2 years.

And the exodus of frustrated soldiers who are "fed up with the Saftladen" is accelerating rapidly.

And since the Ukraine war, the dropout rate of recruits has increased dramatically. They suddenly get reminded of the nature of what is expected of soldiers to do. And that is not drilling waterholes for the regional population in the third world and repairing bridges in villages and painting the walls in village schools and protecting the locals' market place on the other side of the planet, but to fight in wars.

The article says that 30 days of war like in Ukraine would cost the BW ammuntiioon nworth 30-40 billion Euros. The reserves are gone, the magoziones int he bunkers als practically empty. The Bundeswehr plans to buy ammunition worth 1.5 billion. Do the math yourself.

If I were NATO, I woudl get rid of the Germa ns as fast as possible, they are like a millstone around everyone else's neck. Other nations may fail in their military obligations as well, but in no other case the failure counts as heavy as in the Germans' case.

But what else to expect of a country that is mad enough to kill its last running nuclear reactors in the midst of an energy crisis and uncertain future of electricity production and "energy transformation"? Or should I better say "transformation of the laws of physics"?
