Germany Unites—and Hands Merz the Bazooka

Wall down. 53 votes up. Reform wins.

The world’s biggest economic bazooka has just been handed to chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz. Germany — sober, united, democratic — has armed its next leader with the firepower to reshape Europe. Today, the Bundesrat cleared the final hurdle, approving the constitutional reform to lift fiscal restrictions on defense and infrastructure spending.

Trump and Vance should’ve kept quiet about “cards.” Because now, Merz holds them all — and he’s ready to play them against the arrogance that’s strangling the democratic world.

It was excruciating to stay silent for two days. By Tuesday afternoon, the first step was done: Germany’s three major parties — the CDU, SPD, and Greens — joined forces to pass sweeping constitutional reform, clearing the way for massive defense and infrastructure investment.
