German CDU politician warns: German troops can “last a maximum of two days in a battle”
The Bundeswehr's special fund was supposed to take care of it: Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) wanted to make the troops fit for military service again with 100 billion euros.
Scholz even spoke of a “turning point” in February 2022.
However, CDU deputy Johann Wadephul now says “decisive troop units can last a maximum of two days in a battle”.
According to CDU defense politician, the catastrophic condition of the Bundeswehr has two reasons.
On the one hand, Germany continues to deliver weapons to Ukraine, but the ordered supplies for its own ammunition and weapons stocks do not reach the troops:
“Even when it comes to purchasing replacements, the Bundeswehr is actually making a loss,” says Wadephul.
In the current security policy situation, it is unacceptable that “there is no compensation” for the weapons delivered to Ukraine.
On the other hand, the restructuring of the Bundeswehr planned by the federal government was stuck in its early stages.
Wadephul says he sees “big announcements” but “little actual measures that contribute to the war capability that the defense minister himself claims.”
“I see a Bundeswehr that still carries out its procurement processes just as carefully, cautiously and sometimes - I think - with fear as it has in the last 20 years,” he said.
Wadephul also doubts that Germany will be able to put together its own combat-ready division for NATO by 2025, as originally promised.

US diesel crack surpasses $100 a barrel for the first time on supply disruptions
... and the supply of refined fuels is already nearly exhausted. A hard landing is visible ahead, for farmers, for trucking, and ... well, for everything that requires food (people) and energy (the entire economy).
These are very likely the final days of relative normalcy during which to prepare. Get ready.
🌾 🌍 🚜 JPMorgan warns a massive global food supply crisis could begin next year as fertilizer shortages tighten agricultural supply.
JPMorgan is the latest institutional research desk to warn that the next global food crisis may already be taking shape, driven by what its analysts describe as the "Five Ws": War, Weather, Warehousing, Water, and Waste.
In a new report titled Food Security Is National Security: A Compounding Storm, a team led by London-based senior global economist Nora Szentivanyi warned that disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz and the emergence of a potentially historic El Niño could weaken crop yields, constrain agricultural production, and keep food inflation elevated through the first half of 2027.
"Successive shocks since COVID have compounded, eroding food production capacity and keeping food price pressures elevated into 2027," Szentivanyi said, warning that "this is not a short-lived shock; it has reduced the likelihood of near-term disinflation, and the food ...
