“We must be ready for war by 2029,” German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius warned German parliament last week that the nation must be prepared for potential conflict by 2029, the German language newspaper Der Spiegel reported.
Pistorius emphasized the need for rapid modernization and expansion of the Bundeswehr to address growing threats, particularly from Russia. The minister outlined plans to boost defense spending, improve military infrastructure, and enhance Germany's strategic capabilities in response to an increasingly unstable global environment.
Preemptive Plans Are Set
Germany revamps its wartime contingency plans, marking the most significant overhaul since the Cold War. New initiative includes bolstering civil defense measures, securing vital infrastructure, and enhancing military readiness. The German government is also revisiting stockpiling essentials like food, medicine, and fuel.
Officials emphasize that these steps are precautionary and aim to reassure citizens amid rising geopolitical tensions.
