Probably because everyone is aware that very few nations possess the logistical means (overseas bases and aircraft carriers, primarily) to carry out a successful long range attack and takeover of another country. Even the US can't seem to manage that task, not sure why you would think Germany could pull it off.
China, Russia and Japan are best poised to do this, acting in concert, which is why everyone keeps mentioning them, even though it is unlikely they will act in a military fashion.
