I agree with all that, although worth noting that the resources the state diverts to the military industry come at the expense of funding socially useful things. So, the power to do that has limits in practice as it affects the standard of living. In my opinion, the elephant in the room is that the only country that could realistically invade Germany would be Russia, and there’s no possibility for Germany to catch up with Russia militarily. So, the focus should obviously be on diplomacy instead of ramping up the military.
