The situation is different this time though: Europe is being threatened from one side and losing support from another. I read this as an attempt to take more responsibility.
For now. Remember that fascism is knocking on Germans' doors right as we speak.
Pretty sure it's just memes. People mostly know, both inside and outside of Germany, that the EU is a phenomenal instrument of peace and prosperity not only for us germans but also the other members. And that Germany has nothing of value to gain and much to lose by antagonizing or attacking its neighbors and friends again.
Or, a bit more pointedly, we don't need to conquer Europe any more when they are all our economic vassals.
