Germany decides to leave history in the past and prepare for war

A missile launch in Germany symbolizes the military's readiness amid increasing tensions with Russia. The Bundeswehr has received approval for significant funding, driven by concerns over Russian aggression beyond Ukraine. General Carsten Breuer emphasizes the need for swift military preparedness, warning that NATO should be ready for possible attacks within four years.

Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, German attitudes toward military engagement are shifting. Historically cautious, many now support increased defense spending. Germany’s military faces shortages of troops and resources, urging calls for restoring conscription. As the threat level rises, General Breuer asserts, "Are you ready for war?" to rally public support for military readiness.
