    Berlin is right. We need weapons ASAP and if we have to get them from abroad (not from the US, of course) so be it.

    That said, I trust Merz about as far as I can throw him.

      It’s not Amazon where they will ship the product when you order it, manufacturers usually don’t have massive stock piles and it might already be a long order queue. And if everyone is gonna buy, well then the price will increase, its better to invest the money in local production and infrastructure

        My point was that they need to get arms where they can be produced ASAP. People think we have years, for some reason. Have you seen Trump’s jingoistic remarks about NATO?
