They had to do this lest they forever be called Putin's bitch. Will be interesting to see what happens to the German economy with not enough/very expensive energy.
Increasingly, Germany‘s own people are calling their country America’s bitch. Hard to argue against when you’ve got US military bases all over your country.
The western narrative surrounding this conflict is pure inversion. Russia is a rogue expansionary nation because they oppose neighboring puppet governments installed by a hostile foreign power from thousands of miles away? The United States is a bastion of freedom and democracy even as they deploy their intelligence and law enforcement assets against their own political dissidents?
The Rainbow Reich represents an existential threat to every nation.
There are two types of Germans: those who aren't willing to fight and die for their fellow countrymen and "Nazis". The leftist government is rightly terrified of remilitarization, as it would empower the ruling classes political enemies. Hopefully they are eventually forced into a position where Germany must rearm, which also means they throw off the gay.
At this point, why would anyone pay into a defense pact that does literally nothing? And even if it did do something, why would Europe want to align with America against China and Russia when the latter are offering cheaper goods and energy?
The only country that wants to fight actual wars anymore is also the only country spending a third of its budget on military pork. The rest of the world ain’t interested.

Well if Germany doesn't want to be America's bitch, they could actually spend more than 1.53% of their GDP on defense.

IIRC, you don't give 2% of your GDP to NATO. NATO just requires that you spend 2% of your GDP on your own armed forces.
