Merz just may give Europe the political leadership required to pool our resources, and start working towards a technologically independent Europe.
I expect a high demand for dual purpose tech which also serves our defensive independence.
No need for expeditionary spending.

Turns out that, among 200 alternatives, people consistently want the most ambitious ones.

#Europreneur is an emergent property of our times.
Europe must struggle free of the dependencies we’ve allowed ourselves to become immersed in.
Every easy political choice we ever made is coming home to roost, all at once.

Borrell:
"It will be difficult to apply if Europeans look the other way when it comes to Musk-Trump. Faced with Darwinists like Trump or Putin - who only believe in the survival of the fittest - Europe can only be more firm and more united. Both in tech and in the military."
