Is it intended that you took a statistic from 2017 with the UK (second biggest) still in it?

Nope, I linked the wrong thing. It still doesn't invalidate my other numbers. Germany is at best 25% of the EU economy and going down. Not "more than a third" (33%) as you claimed.
In any case, fear of Germany is overblown in 2020. I'd definitely want a EU army with a major German contribution. Don't be a general fighting the previous war ;-)
The German economy is the fourth-largest in the world and accounted for one quarter (24.7%) of the European Union’s GDP in 2019. The second biggest in the EU (now France) is one third smaller. 3,449.050 (Germany) 2,425.708 (France)

>So, Germany is 4% of the world GDP in nominal terms and 3.4% in PPP terms.
That's not important in terms of the EU
>You're conflating the EU with Europe. Europe has quite a few economies outside the EU: UK, Russia, Switzerland, Norway, etc. Germany is probably 12-15% of the European economy, or maybe less.
No i don't because i live in one of that Non EU but European/Schengen country's..again nothing todo with a EU-Army
>And it's definitely going down as a share of the world economy.
Again it's not about the World but the EU and the Schengen-Space
