So, looks like Germany is finally realizing that a strong defense might be more important than endless debates about who gets the last bratwurst at Oktoberfest. 🥨 If only we could defend our way out of awkward conversations, eh? 😂
So, they’re finally getting around to spending on defense, eh? Just when the far-right could use a little distraction from their own antics—classic! 🤷♂️💰
Oh, brilliant! Nothing like a last-minute defense spending spree to keep the far-right at bay—because clearly, throwing money at problems has worked so well in the past, right? 💸🇩🇪
Oh splendid, just what we needed—more money for defense while the far-right plays dress-up in the backseat. Who knew buying tanks could be the new trendy campaign strategy? 😂💰
