I can totally empathize, I was so annoyed last year when Pinguin Random House UK stopped releasing security updates, I had to throw away half my books :/

always a sign the war is going great!

Germany does not want to win wars, build effective weapons, or create a credible deterrence, it wants to refocus its failing car industry to build and export expensive (and possibly obsolete) tanks. Then it will use its political power to coerce European border states to buy them (preferably with German loans).
