<p><strong>The EU needs to rapidly arm itself as the world enters a new era of great-power struggle, the German chancellor has claimed</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>European nations have to accept that the post-Cold War liberal <em>&ldquo;rules-based international order&rdquo;</em> is no more, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told the Munich Security Conference on Friday. The EU and its members need to rapidly adapt to the new reality by arming themselves, he claimed.</p>
<p>His words came as Berlin seeks to circumvent EU rules governing budget deficits and competition to save Germany&rsquo;s flagging economy through a massive rearmament program. The bloc&rsquo;s biggest economy plans to spend $582 billion on defense by 2029 amid an ongoing recession. The nation&rsquo;s central bank warned last year that the government is on track for its largest budget deficit since the early 1990s.</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;The international order based on rights and rules&hellip; no longer exists,&rdquo;</em> Merz declared at the forum. <em>&ldquo;The United States claim to leadership has been challenged and possibly lost,&rdquo;</em> he stated, pointing to what he called Russia&rsquo;s <em>&ldquo;violent revisionism&rdquo;</em> and China&rsquo;s desire to <em>&ldquo;be a leader in shaping the world.&rdquo;</em></p>

<p>The EU needs to <em>&ldquo;accept this new reality today&rdquo;</em> that involves <em>&ldquo;a battle for spheres of influence&rdquo;</em> and where <em>&ldquo;natural resources, technologies and supply chains are becoming bargaining chips in the zero-sum game of the major powers.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p><em>&ldquo;Our biggest priority is to strengthen Europe within NATO,&rdquo;</em> he said, vowing to <em>&ldquo;invest hundreds of billions of euros [into the military] over the coming years&rdquo;</em> and to continue to support Kiev in its conflict with Moscow.</p>
<p>Merz also reiterated his pledge to make the German military the <em>&ldquo;strongest conventional army in Europe&rdquo;</em> and to <em>&ldquo;protect our free democratic order against internal and external enemies.&rdquo;</em> He also announced talks with French President Emmanuel Macron on the EU&rsquo;s own <em>&ldquo;nuclear deterrence.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>Germany has been actively hyping up the Russian threat narrative to justify increased military spending. German officials have set 2029 as the deadline for the Bundeswehr to be <em>&ldquo;war-ready&rdquo;</em> for a potential conflict with Russia &ndash; something that Moscow dismissed as <em>&ldquo;nonsense.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said last year that <em>&ldquo;with their current leaders, modern Germany and the rest of Europe are transforming into a Fourth Reich.&rdquo;</em></p>
