Yeah, probably. I should’ve put a little more time into it before commenting.
TBH, I have very little knowledge on Germany’s political scene, I only ever really hear about AfD and how Germany’s hate speech laws are abused. Also the Volkswagen emissions scandal. Kind of an irrelevant country at this point, they can’t even meet their NATO obligations.
So your knowledge of Germany consists in large parts of some populist talking points and yet you jumped at the first opportunity to defend an extremely right-wing party and downplay their policies. That’s… a choice.
Nah, the AfD keeps coming up, I figured I should be somewhat informed. When I got confused, I asked a question.

That was agreed on for this year, which has only just begun!
Let’s wait another year at least, when this year’s numbers are published, ok?

That’s more than obvious.

I strongly welcome Germany’s historic commitment to reach 2 percent in 2024
2% as a bottom line was agreed on during a summit in Vilnius
