    Amazing how supporters of austerity turn into raging deficit spenders when there's a chance to spend money on arms rather than peaceful public goods.https://twitter.com/OlafStorbeck/status/1497898336602320899 …

    Amazing. German finance minister @c_lindner - traditionally a fiscal hawk - just disparaged leader opposition @_FriedrichMerz for warning that higher defense spending could increase public debt. Says it’s first and foremost an investment in our freedom. pic.twitter.com/wvXAnFxXTF

        I think that's applicable to Reaganite Republicans but German right liberals have been more consistent austerity hawks til now hence low German military spending.

        Well I think the CDU leader had earlier gave a note of caution about using debt to fund defence expenditures. So it's not as if German "fiscal hawks" are now all in favour of it.

        As a german who was opposed to military spending above an abs minimum for my whole adult live. We’re kinda shocked over here. I’m probably coming around to a full conscription service again too, because that might make the army more representative of our actual society.

        Normally, I would agree with you. But right now this is another important development that *might* help arrest a spiraling military conflict and conceivably prevent the world from returning to an era when empires can just grab whatever they want from weaker neighbors.
