Germany has (again) spend more than 8 billion (the planned budget for 2024) purely on military equipment for Ukraine just in the first half of the year. More than most countries combined (for reference the UK loudly announced the "largest-ever military aid package" ever earlier this year... 0,5 billion in total).

And they simply can't keep this up anymore while at the same time having to cut all budgets at home to stay within constitutional debt limits (PS: No, changing the constitutional debt limit isn't an option. That would require votes from the opposition and they went apeshit obstructionist/populist the moment they were ousted).

And although I have a particularly strong opinion on what will actually happen, let's hope EU countries can finally get their shit together to create a sustainable base for Ukraine support instead of constantly relying on single countries' short term planning.
