Merz Joins Europe's Warmongering Vision and Calls to Rearm Germany

Friedrich Merz, the next chancellor of Germany, has announced plans to increase spending on defense and infrastructure, aiming to ensure the country's security amid the potential decline of United States interest in Europe and NATO.

Together with the leaders of his party, the CDU, the CSU, and the SPD, Merz proposed amending the German constitution to allow defense spending above 1% of GDP without restrictions from the debt brake rule.

This change seeks to strengthen defense amid growing concerns of European governments to increase war efforts carried out due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Additionally, Merz highlighted the need to boost the German economy through a special fund of 500 billion euros for industrial and infrastructural investments, which is expected to help revive the country's economy in the next decade.

The debt rule reform is expected to be completed before the end of the year to prevent it from hindering these essential investments.

Alongside Merz was Markus Söder, the leader of the Christian Social Union party, which formed a coalition with the future chancellor's party to win the elections.

Söder began speaking very arrogantly about Germany's relations with the United States, pointing out that the trust they had in the American country is affected.

Emphasizing the growing Russian influence in European rearmament efforts, Söder remarked that the restructuring of the armed forces must be economic, military, and technological.

Meanwhile Merz had emphasized just a few weeks ago the need to strengthen Europe with the aim of achieving independence from the United States in military matters.

The goal of leaders like Merz, Starmer, and even Macron, focuses on dispensing with U.S. participation in bodies like NATO. However, the United States is the largest contributor to such processes, and a withdrawal of the country would not only not mean European independence but an unbelievable headache in terms of financing.
