It’s sadly ironic that Germany is a part of NATO, barely paying its way at 1.3% of GDP compared to the much poorer Greece, Poland and Baltic nations, which all pay 2%, and that Merkel climbed into bed with Putin for cheap fossil fuels, yet today expects other members of NATO to do far, far more than Germany itself to prevent the Ukrainian war from spreading to…Germany.  You can’t have it both ways, Germany.  This is your war, too, and it’s not ok to simply say “pass” anymore and expect others, namely US taxpayers, to pay for what you will not.
