Germany has now taken the next step in massively revving up its defense spending, deterrence posture and support to NATO by deciding to increase defense spending to two percent of GDP.

Germany Defense Spending

This is a profound and seismic shift for Germany, which now seems fully aligned against Russian aggression in complete lockstep with the United States and NATO. 

Not only has Germany now committed to a large increase in defense spending, but the country has also been sending anti-armor and anti-aircraft weapons to Ukraine such as Stinger missiles.

“We decided that we want to deliver arms to a region where there is a conflict, where there’s actually a war that’s being waged, and that’s a decision that is very special for Germany. 

But it was necessary to make that decision because we have seen that agreements were broken, that lies were told and that a brutal war of aggression was started, and that is why we have to make those very crucial decisions,” Christine Lambrecht, Minister of Defense, Federal Republic of Germany, told reporters at a meeting with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
