      Yes, in total numbers Germany is the second largest donor of military aid to Ukraine after the US. In terms of fraction of GDP, there are other nations who have donated more, Poland, Bulgaria and the Baltic republics stand out here.

        Not by much.

        Poland: 13%
        Bulgaria: 10%
        Germany: 9%
        USA: 0.3%

        GDP based statistics of course favor smaller countries more but Germany is almost providing half as much as the US in total now and the EU combined almost twice as much as the US. I like to shit on my country too but those are some pretty clear cut numbers.

          Which is a sight to behold. Before the invasion of Ukraine, German military budget was 1.3% of the GDP, although it was supposed to be 2.3 or something for NATO member states.

            There’s was an agreement between NATO members to reach 2% of GDP military spending by 2024. That’s only indirectly relevant though and also often misrepresented in the news, mostly thanks to Trump back then.

          Being German, I didn’t want to brag. 😉 But with all the legitimate criticism of a hesitant chancellor I’m a bit proud of what our government did achieve, although, of course, it could always be more. What currently worries me is Slovakia with a coalition government of far-left and far-right parties (maybe the Horseshoe Theory is real) stopping Ukraine aid, and possibly blocking or delaying EU funds for Ukraine. And of course who knows what’s going to happen after the next US presidential elections is anyone’s guess.
