Re: Those moneychangers...
"I think they did have some 70 years ago and looking at the numbers now from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute we have for 2018 in US$ bn spending:
UK 50.0
Germany 49.5"
So, given the fact that Germany is a larger and richer country than the UK, they are spending a lot less on defence then. And the UK's expenditure has gone down compared with when this 'economic miracle' happened, and German spending has gone up.
