GERMANY REARMS? Pistorius Builds "War-Capable" Army As Merz Warns Trump Rift Destroys NATO

Описание: Germany is executing its most consequential national security overhaul since the Cold War, with Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Defence Minister Boris Pistorius preparing the public for an aggressive expansion of the Bundeswehr to achieve a "war-capable" state of deterrence. Speaking on German Armed Forces Day near Munich, Pistorius fiercely defended skyrocketing defense outlays—slated under the Merz administration to reach an unprecedented 5% of GDP—while actively moving to legally re-mandate military training for reservists. German leadership confirmed that the return of conscription, suspended in 2011, is back on the immediate legislative agenda as a direct response to structural changes in transatlantic relations following Donald Trump’s second U.S. presidential term and the grueling progression of the Russia-Ukraine war into its fifth year. Acknowledging that ties with Washington have grown increasingly complex, Berlin explicitly committed to establishing absolute European military self-reliance, significantly scaling up multinational trade route defense missions, and cementing a heavily reinforced, sovereign frontline presence within NATO.
