Responsibility for Europe reads differently from Bratislava than from Brussels. The new German defence strategy is worth reading carefully, particularly from the capitals whose security still depends on German territory. Responsibility for Europe will be defined in the next decade by what Berlin does if Washington no longer underwrites European defence at previous levels. Germany has now stated, in writing, that this is the planning horizon.
Germany HAS NOT impressed me with the way it has begun to wield this power.
All deployments of the German military outside of Germany are either supported by the host country or by a UN Security Council resolution right now.
Does a rightwing extremist Germany with a powerful military seem like a good idea to you?
does any rightwing extrimist country with a powerful military?
No and I didn’t mean to imply that if I did.
Germany is not the US. As in currently there are not right wing extremist running the German government.
Lol you don’t think Merz and his rightwing coalition form an extremist rightwing threat?
The center right is hopeless to stop the far right even if they weren’t lying about wanting to rein them in.
Merz only leads to Trump like figures, so yeah Trump is worse, but that isn’t much consolation?
