Because the EU does NOT want Germany to arm, remember what happened the last couple of times ?

Both the French and the Poles are urging Germany to rearm. As well as the EU, actually, through both the commission and the parliament. The whole "European countries are afraid of Germany invading" argument is not really a thing.

> the EU does NOT want Germany to arm

The EU is not worried about Germany re-arming, as the world has changed dramatically since WW2 and we have much stronger bonds in Europe than we did when Nazi Germany was around.

I'm not a history buff, are you alluding to anything?

This is so stupid.

The US rearmed Germany immediately after WW2 to be a buffer against an invading USSR.

We literally put Nazis back into command as long as they were willing to fight the Russians again.

Nobody in NATO was ever afraid of a militarized Germany, except maybe Germans.
