Germany being a past perpetrator should be doing more than would be expected.
Yet they are dragging their feet at every step possible.
If this is for some economic reason for the future, then they should hang their heads in shame.
However, there may be other motives we are not privy to. Either way, it seems they are firmly looking after their owns interests.
I think German motivations are very different to this, at least in part.
Germany has had a policy of not deploying armed forces beyond their boundaries since WWII, because of the disaster they foisted on the world.
The country has a very strong culture of not wanting to be an aggressor, and overcoming this even in current circumstances is understandably difficult.
Additionally, their defence spending (for many of the same reasons) has been pretty low, so actual availability of kit may not be so good.
