Europe in general, most countries, are being shaken awake from a long slumber by a number of recent and current events.

Agreed. This is a rational response to the USA's protective umbrella being discarded, and the end of NATO. Europe became far too complacent, and the change is going to be quite uncomfortable at the very least.

Again, this is a very rational response and I applaud the German government for being realistic.
