Putin Activates Muscle Memory in Germany

Putin has actually managed to get what I thought were the hopelessly and suicidally pacifistic Germans to rearm. Real Russians would punish Putin for that strategic disaster. 

Germany disarmed itself after the Cold War, with no signs it would pull its weight in NATO:

I keep reading that the Germans hate their militaristic past so much that they don't want to fight.

Let's try applying the clue bat to Germany's collective skull on this issue.

Conquering and setting up death camps under the shield of a powerful military? That's bad. By all means, don't do that.

Having a military capable of fighting death cult enemies or stopping the Russians from moving west? Well, that's a good thing. Try doing that.

Until Putin got to work. Now Germany wants to hit Moscow

Germany has officially requested to acquire US-made Typhon missile systems to enhance its long-range deterrence[.]

Bravo, Putin

When do the paranoid Russians arrest, execute, and prosecute (in that order) Putin for treason?
