These questions to make sense of the words said too much, the end of World War II, U.S. President Roosevelt future U.S. future dominance in Europe, but also in order to avoid U.S. G.I. casualties, let go of the former Soviet Union leader Stalin to capture Berlin, German soldiers defending the capital of the inches of the eventual Soviet casualties of more than 300,000 people. The attack on Berlin war showed the power of the former Soviet Union's torrent of steel, has been scattered over the centuries in Europe there is no country or several countries united can resist the attack of the former Soviet Union's ground forces, even the Americans are also fearful of. During the Cold War the former Soviet Union was equipped with more than 20,000 tanks, the vast majority of which matched the European tanks of their contemporaries American tanks, and a small number of which had performance beyond. The former Soviet Union in the quality and quantity of land weapons superiority forced the United States and Europe to trumpet total nuclear war, in the Cold War, against the former Soviet Union land forces are tactical nuclear warheads and neutron bombs, due to the United States of America NATO and most of the rest of the world's joint blockade, the former Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact Organization of the economic and technological strength of the opponents of the disparity between the big, so that the former Soviet Union in the conventional military forces dominance is still afraid to launch a full-scale war against Europe (war is fought for money and technology), which can be seen in the Cuban Missile Crisis. At the same time, if the Russians, who have the credo of barbaric expansion, launch a war against Europe, the Chinese will likely launch an attack to recover the land lost during the Qing Dynasty, and the world can not tolerate a barbaric expansion of the former USSR, which has completely occupied the Eurasian continent. This forced the former Soviet Union to terrorize Europe, as seen when Reagan came to power and boldly relied on the economic and technological superiority of the United States and NATO to engage in an arms race with the former Soviet Union until its collapse. In fact, the former Soviet Union only had partial superiority over Europe and the United States until the 1970s, which stemmed from the fact that the Second World War completely destroyed the foundations of Europe, and when Europe recovered 20 years later, along with the power of the United States, the former Soviet Union was on the defensive (at a disadvantage) all the way through the actual struggle. This is evident from many historical events. At the same time, the liberalization and democracy advocated by the United States and the European countries led to the emergence of forces within the Soviet Union that resisted authoritarianism and dictatorship, and this, together with the dissatisfaction caused by the decline in the people's living standards as a result of the emphasis on heavy industry, led to a decline in the cohesion within the Soviet Union, and the government's credibility and appeal were in serious trouble. A war would probably have led to the end of the country. From the sudden disintegration of the former Soviet Union even in times of peace, we can know that ----- if we go to war with Europe, the people's aversion to war coupled with hatred of the government, he may collapse even faster. All of this dictates that the former Soviet Union is unlikely to launch a large-scale invasion.
Given the strength of the former Soviet Union's strategic intentions and the actual ability of the current Russian Federation, Germany's weapons development and equipment program is simply to follow the world trend, not to lag behind can be. Moreover, for quite some time in the future, Europe does not have the motivation and conditions for the outbreak of a large-scale war (no country or power is trying to unify Europe by force, it is now a period of balance of power).
And as far as weapons being sophisticated and expensive to build, this carries on a long German tradition. Look at the German automobile industry, medical equipment, etc. to get an idea of what the Germans are all about.
As for how to face a full-scale invasion in the unlikely event that it comes, it's all about relying on nuclear weapons to **** with extinction.
As a former occupied country, my personal opinion, should be grateful to Hitler, Hitler's war in Europe with the United Kingdom, France and the former Soviet Union, so that the United Kingdom, France and the former Soviet Union were unable to manage their respective colonies and intended to invade the country, which indirectly contributed to the independence of the country's independence wave, look at the world's 200 countries, the vast majority of which are after the Second World War. The vast majority of the 200 or so countries in the world today became independent after WWII.
Hitler's alliance with Japan caused Japan to move faster towards defeat, and together they were besieged by the other major powers of the world, which contributed to China's victory over Japan, and ended China's state of war ahead of schedule, so I, a Chinese, am thankful to Hitler for this good point. Oh 。。。。。
Any issue can only be seen in perspective if it is put in the context of the larger environment era. I hope this is helpful to you.
Additionally, the present Germany is a lost Germany, unlike the aggressiveness of the United States, the historical dignity of the United Kingdom, the flaunting of France, the struggles of Russia, the rise of China against all odds, the attempts of Japan to move towards a normal country (Japan is actually a colony of the United States, and the cost of the United States garrison is the expense of Japan, which is the protection fee) and the arrogance of India, the present Germany does not seek too much world status, and acts comparatively speaking. Nowadays, Germany is not pursuing too much world status, and is acting in a relatively low profile, paying more attention to the quality of life, and pursuing more peace and happiness. This also determines the practicality and adequacy of Germany's military forces.
That's all I have to say, actually there are a lot more to it than that, but I've pretty much covered the main ones.
Only that, good night!
