Next year its defense spending will be equivalent to that of France and Great Britain combined, and the plan is for it to be considerably higher by 2030. The declared objective of the German government is to have "the most powerful conventional army in Europe." It is true that France and Great Britain have nuclear weapons, but this means less money for other defense materials. Therefore, the question is not "will this come true?"; if there are no unforeseen events, it will come true. The question, especially on this solemn anniversary, is: "How can we ensure that, this time, the growth of German military power is positive for all of Europe?"</p>]]></description>
