The Germans have let their military capabiility decay, but their arms industry is still top notch. Where there's a profit motive, I suspect she'll be able to line up the ducklings to walk in the proper direction.
But I'm not a fan,and would rather someone else be the replacement.

I see both her and Ben Wallace as mirror images of each other and as poor choices. Both have presided over atrophy of their respective armed forces, both have been bullish on their Ukraine support. Sure Wallace was a military Man, still hasn't prevented issues with the MOD. Even now pilots are having to goto food banks.

To get either in my opinion is a failure, that said dont follow european / nato politics enough to any clue about someone better.
