https://www.dw.com/en/german-army-to-ge ... er-sharingChancellor Angela Merkel announced that Germany will increase defense spending as she prepares to attend an upcoming NATO summit next week in Brussels. She added, however, "Compared to what others are doing in relation to GDP this is not nearly enough."
Though the new budget will represent a €4-billion ($4.65 billion) increase in funding for the military, it is unlikely to satisfy critics from other NATO allies, first among them US President Donald Trump, who have regularly complained that Germany is not spending enough on defense.
This week, Finance Minister Olaf Scholz will officially present his revised draft budget for 2019 which includes significant spending increases for the armed forces, according to newspaper Handelsblatt. The armed forces' budget is set to rise to €42.9 billion, government sources told DPA press agency on Monday. The revised budget would be around €675 million more than previously planned for 2019. The budget is set to go to the Cabinet for approval on Friday.
Artikkel ka:The German defence budget will amount to 1.3% of the country’s GDP in 2019; this percentage will however drop to 1.2% in 2022 despite a slight nominal increase in funding – due to projected economic growth in Germany.
https://www.err.ee/844938/trumpi-sonul- ... algeliseltUSA president Donald Trump ütles mõne päeva eest rahvakoosolekul Montanas, et läheb eelseisvale NATO tippkohtumisele taas sõnumiga: hakake oma arveid maksma.
"Peate hakkama arveid maksma. USA üksinda ei saa kõige eest hoolt kanda," lubas Trump öelda NATO tippkohtumisel osalejatele.
Trumpi sõnul jätkab USA panustamist NATO-sse, kuid tuletas meelde, et Euroopa "tapab" samal ajal Ameerikat kaubandusdefitsiidiga.
"Meie maksame 4 protsenti sisemajanduse kogutoodangust. Saksamaa, mis on Euroopa Liidu suurim riik, maksab ühe protsendi," lausus Trump rahvakoosolekul.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news ... -vkw5gcz5wBritain is urging Germany to calm President Trump’s anger at low European defence spending by investing in railways and bridges that can be used by Nato troops in a crisis, The Times has learnt.
Gavin Williamson, the defence secretary, is understood to be in favour of a “more imaginative” approach towards what Nato regards as defence expenditure as the alliance prepares for a crucial summit in Brussels this week.
He is also keen for Germany to increase its support for Nato by buying more military helicopters, trucks and ferries. These could transport British and other allied forces on operations.

Jens Ringsmose sõnul Taani Kaitsekolledžist saavad suuremad liitlased oma pingutused nii ümber suunata, et väiksemata liitlaste julgeolek väheneb ilma alliannsi lõhkumata. Seetõttu väikeriigid reageerivad ohule, et suurem liitlane neist loobub aga mitte nende vastase ohtudest lähtudes.The Danish Army sustained 850 to 1000 soldiers in Basra, Iraq, from 2003 to 2007 and shifted their efforts to Afghanistan from 2007 to 2012, sustaining 1200 to 1400 troops in Helmand as part of the Afghan surge. The Royal Danish Air Force partnered with that of Norway, the Netherlands, and Belgium to sustain year-long deployments of a multinational C-130 squadron and a similar F-16 squadron in Kyrgyzstan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2002 and 2003. Only the United States dropped more precision-guided munitions in 2011’s Operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya. The Danish military continued that pace through the entirety of Operation Unified Protector. Denmark also sent seven F-16s (four plus three in reserve) into the fray against the Islamic State in October 2014 and sustained that deployment through September 2015
Liidus olemise kulud peavad olema väärt liidus olemise kasudegaSmall states react to threats of abandonment from their allies rather than changes in perceived threat from their adversaries, he argues, because larger alliance partners can reallocate their efforts to reduce the security enjoyed by the smaller ally without eviscerating the alliance
they may find eliminating the risk of losing the benefits of alliance worth the higher costs of membership
https://www.dw.com/en/german-army-mulls ... a-44775125Germany's long-understaffed army has a new plan to boost recruitment: allowing foreigners from other European Union countries to serve in the unified armed forces (Bundeswehr). The defense ministry confirmed on Saturday that it was seriously considering the idea.
"The Bundeswehr is growing. For this, we need qualified personnel," a Defense Ministry spokesman told German news agency DPA.
SPD: No mercenary army
Speaking with local newspaper Augsburger Allegemeine, Social Democrat (SPD) defense expert Karl-Heinz Brunner said that he could imagine EU citizens serving in the Bundeswehr. But he warned that any soldier who fought for Germany must be promised citizenship.
"If citizens of other countries are accepted, without the promise of getting a German passport, the Bundeswehr risks becoming a mercenary army."
Meenutab juba vana-roomat. Kui enam Rooma kodanikud enam oma armees teenida ei tahtnud, siis hakati armeesse võtma ka Rooma riigi piiridest väljaspool elavaid inimesi. Präänikuks oli teatud aastate teenistuse järel Rooma kodanikuks saamine. Ka Rooma keisririigis elamine ei tähendanud Rooma kodanikuks olemist. Hiljem keisrid andsid kõigile Rooma keisririigi elanikele Rooma kodanikuöigused ja neil tekkisid jälle probleemid oma sõjaväe mehitamisega. Saksamaa ka sellele libedale teele astumas.Sakslased tahavad oma armee koosseisu suurendada, lubades sinna ka teiste EL-i riikide kodanike.
