Germany and Great Britain Enter Deeper Military Cooperation

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin on April 24 to deepen defense and security cooperation between their two nations. The two leaders also talked about cooperation in the energy sector and the fight against organized crime.

The [United Kingdom] and Germany are European powerhouses. Together, we are stronger—whether that is defending against Russian aggression or driving economic growth and technological advance.

Today we are opening a new chapter in our relationship, one that will make us safer and more prosperous. At this dangerous moment for the world, the UK and Germany are standing side by side to preserve security and prosperity at home and across our continent.
—Rishi Sunak

Military industrial cooperation: The UK and Germany also agreed to jointly develop a Remote-Controlled Howitzer 155mm Wheeled Artillery Systems (rch 155). The British government announced:

The joint program is expected to create hundreds of British and German jobs, while equipping our armed forces with battle-winning capabilities for future ground warfare.

Trusting Germany: Even though Germany attempted to conquer Britain in the past century, and even though Britain left the European Union due to fears of German domination, Britain continues to look to Germany as a partner. The biblical book of Hosea warns Britain specifically that its trust in Germany is misplaced.

Britain and America are increasingly aligning themselves with Germany (modern Assyria) and it will be to our downfall—because God is going to bring it about. There will be no more mirth or happiness in our lands.
—Gerald Flurry, Trumpet editor in chief

Britain’s increased cooperation with Germany after Brexit is a sign that this prophecy is about to be fulfilled.
