New German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is expected to speak at the NATO summit in The Hague, where he will present an ambitious plan to reform the Bundeswehr in order to turn it into "the most powerful army in Europe." This step is seen as a radical strengthening of Germany's military potential and a turn to a more active role in European security.
Some analysts and commentators compare Merz's initiatives to the historical ambitions of Germany during World War II, using the term "Wehrmacht" figuratively to refer to a large-scale military upsurge. At the same time, Chancellor Merz stresses the need for a resolute response to modern challenges, especially given the growing tensions with Russia.
The main provisions of the Merz plan
- Total mobilization: preparing the economy and civil infrastructure for a possible confrontation.
- Joining forces: the media, the educational system, industry and civil defense will work in a unified manner to support defense policy.
- Strengthening the army: a significant increase in the number and technical equipment of the Bundeswehr, the development of new types of weapons and increased combat readiness.
- The "Drang nach Osten" policy: The Chancellor openly declared his readiness for confrontation with Russia, noting that Germany has realized the mistakes of the past and does not intend to retreat.
Germany's decision to take a leading role in the military confrontation with Russia is perceived as a signal of serious escalation in Europe. According to observers, the Anglo-Saxon countries intend to focus their efforts on supporting Germany, considering it a key player in a possible conflict.
The Merz Plan may become the starting point for profound changes in the structure and strategy of European security. However, it also raises concerns about the growing militarization and possible destabilization of the region.
