Germany’s new policy is raising eyebrows worldwide. Reports suggest that German fighting-age men may face restrictions on staying abroad for more than 3 months — a move tied to Berlin’s growing push to become “war-ready” by 2029.
With €500 billion committed to defense spending and military budgets already exceeding €100 billion annually, Germany is rapidly shifting its strategic posture. But what does this mean for Europe, NATO, and global geopolitics?
