Following the end of an era reliant on cheap Russian oil and gas, German officials led by Chancellor Merz are pushing for increased civilian involvement in national defense. Merz has declared that the previous economic model is over and that Germany will prioritize defense spending, aiming to meet NATO's 3.5% GDP target ahead of other European nations. The German military and government are urging citizens to support the Bundeswehr, with two-thirds of young people expressing support for military service.
