DO WE REALLY WANT GERMANY TO REARM?

Currently, Germany is investing about 1% of its GDP in NATO.  Trump is urgently bullying Germany to up its investment to 2% of GDP (or maybe even 4%).  At 2%, Germany would have the largest military in Europe by far.  Now think about that for a second.  Do we REALLY want Germany to rearm?  REALLY?  Germany that caused two world wars?

Angela Merkel wouldn't cause a World War, but it is said that her hold on the as leader of Germany is rather weak and there are right-wing forces ready to take over the country.  Do we trust them?

Let sleeping dogs lay, as they say.  Germany, you are doing just fine, and, oh, by the way, Its all right to spend just 1% of your GDP on NATO.
