Germany is preparing its military for a possible conflict with Russia by 2029, according to a leaked directive. Signed by Bundeswehr chief Carsten Breuer, the order calls for advanced long-range strike systems, enhanced air defense, and stockpiles of ammunition. Chancellor Friedrich Merz also lifted restrictions on weapon range to Ukraine, signaling a strategic shift. Germany plans to boost defense spending to 5% of GDP and may end its volunteer military model. The move comes amid economic strain and restructuring of legacy defense firms like ThyssenKrupp.

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has issued a stark warning following Germany's new border policies restricting asylum seekers. Speaking at the Southwestern Press Forum, Merkel criticized the national crackdown led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s cabinet, warning it risks destroying the EU’s unity and the Schengen zone. Calling for “European solutions,” she reaffirmed her support for EU-level migration policy. The move marks a sharp break from her 2015 open-door stance and comes amid rising right-wing momentum, legal battles, and mounting pressure on German border forces.
