“Germany has played a crucial role in the international response to Russia’s actions. When Europe and the world needed you, you were there.
                              It is vital for Europe and the world that Germany remains strong, to provide not only Political and Economical pressure, but Military presence as well.
So that no country can be in any doubt: If the rules are broken, if our freedom, our people and our borders are threatened, we will respond.”
