Why the fuck is Germany even allowed to have an Air Force?

Don't worry, it's a terrible air force. We have two types of combat aircraft - one is a sort-of-good 50+ year old design MRCA that will be replaced by the F-35 (genius move!) and the other is an interceptor designed in the 80s that was pushed into the fighter-bomber role. The project was so bad that France left and developed their own plane - they managed to finish the design faster and cheaper.

Oh and the entire Bundeswehr is basically the worst army money-efficiency-wise. We pay almost as much as Britain or France, who have like nuclear subs and actual nukes. Germany has less tanks than Poland. It's a giant grift, maybe worse than the friggin' Pentagon. Everybody thinks it's money well spent.
