    Some people like to joke that Germany growing their military strength should be a worrying sign for other European countries.

    It’s not accurate to reality though. Germany today is nothing like Germany in 1914 and 1939.

      Not like the AfD is about to become the most popular party, it’s really very unlike ~1933 for sure, for sure. (/s)

      Remember, '26 Weimar Republic Germany was super liberal and fun…until…'29 crash…and finally fascism '33.

      European govs need to resist the coming economic crisis/recession/depression in a way (socialism) that prevents fascists from blaming that on or giving up democracy and liberalism.
