German Army Commander: We must prepare for war. Carsten Breuer says preparing for war is a phased process.
"We don't have infinite time, because for the first time since the end of the Cold War a potential war is being imposed on us from the outside," Breuer said. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Germany decided to increase defense spending and established a special fund worth 100 billion euros (one billion and 78 million dollars) to purchase advanced weapons systems and modernize its armed forces.
