    Historical Context and Rearmament

    Post-war Germany historically relied on trade over military strength due to guilt, but now admits history is not over and faces Russian missile threats.

Integrating non-NATO Israeli technology into the alliance creates a robust testbed that accelerates operational readiness against Russian threats.
