Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

The CDU/CSU Union is a center-right party that values fiscal responsibility. Therefore, they might support increasing military spending, but only after ensuring the country's financial health. This stance was evident during the Eurozone crisis when they advocated for fiscal austerity.

Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While the CDU/CSU Union has supported increases in military spending, they might also be satisfied with maintaining the current level if it is deemed sufficient for Germany's defense needs and international commitments. However, their preference for a strong defense policy might make them more inclined towards increases.

Slightly agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The CDU/CSU Union has shown support for European integration, including in defense matters. However, they also value Germany's sovereignty and its ability to independently ensure its security. Therefore, while they might be open to the idea of a European military defense system, they would likely still prioritize national military capabilities.

Strongly disagree

Decrease
