Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : On the CDU side, military spending is not a problem, but the emphasis has been on Europe freeing itself from reliance on US defense via a European army -- a long-held dream of many in Germany and France.
49% : But the army idea -- and any other drastic realignment of Germany's posture to the US -- would only be possible with agreement across the 27-nation European Union.
37% : A SPD-led coalition might cut military spending to finance domestic priorities or climate-change measures, reigniting long-held US complaints that Germany is freeloading by relying on the US to defend Europe.
