17 September 2022 at 15:43. Any country has the right to have the best army, yet Germany is not a regular country if we look at it from a historical perspective. The far-right of Germany, the Nazis, were responsible for the trigger of WWII that led to the death of around 80 million people worldwide, so Germany is not a regular country. However, Scholz may argue that was passed 75 years since WWII, so there is no reason to take it into account. To understand why Scholz is wrong, I will illustrate a scenario that could happen, especially in the current wave of the far-right in Europe, and in Germany, in particular, because Nazism in Germany still exists, below the surface - secretly, and even publicly. LetÅ›'s assume that the current German government is a responsible one without any objective to become the Fourth Reich. Thus, Germany under Scholz will make the German army the best army in Europe by buying the best and most sophisticated weapons from the USA and other Western countries. Nonetheless, after Germany will become the best army in Europe, time will pass by, and suddenly, a new version of far-right-nazis will rise to power in Germany, yet obviously, nothing in the party name will mention Nazisem, still, their objectives may reflect the Forth Reich. As we know, it took many years for Hitler to become a Dictator and start his expansion in Europe to make Germany an Empire by invasion other countries. Hitler could have done it because he had the best army in Europe. If this scenario will happen, then who will save Europe? Is it will be NATO that was formed against Germany? But, paradoxically, NATO includes Germany, while Russia which sacrificed around 24 million people to take down Hitler is out of NATO. Looking at the current wave of the far-right in Europe, such as in France, Italy, and even Sweden signals that this scenario is possible. Thus, Germany can be the best economic empire in Europe but not yet the best military empire in Europe.
