Germany Plans Massive Military Buildup in Europe | JQJO

Germany plans a significant military buildup, aiming to create Europe's strongest conventional army. Chancellor Merz seeks to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, a historic shift from its post-Cold War policy of restraint. This follows a broader trend in Europe, with countries like France, Poland, and the UK also expanding their military capabilities and budgets. While some aim for stronger land forces or high-tech weaponry, the overall global military ranking is unlikely to change dramatically in the near future.
