I have also written several times about how the German and French military industrial complex are working together to push their American competitors out of the market. they are using the Ukraine panic and the Putin panic to move public funds. a pretty pathetic spectacle when you consider that all these states are overly indebted. and war economy is not a solution to the eurozone's fundamental growth problem.

I'm not sure whether you are informed about the state of the German Bundeswehr. this force has been underfunded for decades, is no longer technically up to date and is completely incapable of going into action anywhere, let alone operating in a major war zone.

I'm loosely aware about this but I'm talking about Germany and France's involvement in trading war weapons and trying to compete with US by boosting its arms industry so it can shift to "war economy mode" in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
