Kriegstüchtig - wie Deutschland sich ruiniert

Since the war in Ukraine, the security policy debate in Germany has radically changed. Anyone who questions a one-sided military strategy is quickly labeled a "Putin apologist." Fabio De Masi discusses why we are paying a high price for this blindness with political scientist and security expert Prof. Dr. Johannes Varwick. An in-depth conversation about narrow debate spaces, the new German "turning point," rearmament and deterrence, but also about diplomacy as an underestimated instrument of security policy. Why is the discussion in Germany so often black and white? What role do the media, politics, and so-called experts play? How is Donald Trump changing the geopolitical landscape? Is further escalation in the Middle East with Iran imminent? Johannes Varwick was long among the voices that carried weight even within the political establishment. Today, he is attacked for positions that were once a matter of course in foreign policy debates. An extensive discussion about European interests and the peace dividend. ---- Note: The Member funding this political or informational activity bears sole responsibility for it.
