Germany Faces a Choice Between Its Own Defense Capabilities and Support For Ukraine
Providing Ukraine with military supplies raises questions about Germany's ability to follow its NATO arrangements. Ukraine's requests for missiles represent a production task of high complexity and duration, with a result that will not be achieved in the short term - the first missiles for the Bundeswehr may not be produced until three years after production begins.
In a ZDF broadcast, military analyst Christian Mölling emphasizes that Germany is already facing difficulties in fulfilling its NATO commitments even without taking Ukraine's support into account, and its defense industrial complex requires immediate expansion. This becomes a prerequisite if the government coalition is to fulfill its stated promises to strengthen Germany's defense capability.

We'll see how Germany copes with the need to scale up the military-industrial complex, but for now they have serious problems with their domestic voters, for whom the ruling coalition's policies are becoming less and less clear. Tomorrow they will not be squeezed out by yesterday's marginalists from the right and left flanks, who are now rapidly gaining popularity, among other things, by criticizing the confrontation with Russia
When asked whether Germany should supply Taurus missiles to Ukraine, 35% of respondents answered “Yes”, 49% - “No”.
These results were published in the Bild am Sonntag newspaper.
But the German press is now jumping out of its pants, trying to convince citizens of the need to transfer long-range missiles to Ukraine.

Germany faces a deep recession due to high energy prices. BASF, the largest chemical company, is cutting costs and jobs in Europe and refocusing its development on China
Most of BASF's investments this year will go to the Verbund plant in China: "We are developing our business in regions of the world that are growing more dynamically and offer attractive investment conditions," said BASF SE CEO Martin Brudermüller

I think the world's problems would kind of sort themselves out if other countries just minded their own business. I would like to see the US get out of every overseas conflict starting immediately and leave it up to the people who's neighborhood this is actually happening in sort it out themselves. Perhaps that sounds cruel but what is being accomplished exactly?
I agree absolutely! It is better to concentrate your efforts on improving your own lifestyle than to help someone resolve territorial claims!
Moreover, the responsibilities of governments (officially declared) are to take care of the well-being of their citizens, not Ukrainians.
If you poke a sleeping bear with a stick for a long time, the result will be logical. Do not repeat the example of fools!
