    I do not agree with the last sentences of the article. As a german I am sure Germany as an emerging military power will act in harmony with other European powers. Every European with some understanding of Europe knows the EU is the best answer we have to this new world order.

    Also it is a false myth that Germany relied on cheap Russian energy. Yes it relied heavily on Russian energy, but it was not cheap. However, buying energy is more complex for germany now.

    What Power? The only thing that is still left to project power are nuclear arms, and Germany has none.

      Russia is losing in Ukraine which does not have access to nukes. So you can project power without nukes.

      However, to have ultimate deterence nukes are imperative.

        Sure, but seeing that “gentlemen’s agreement” called international law is about to end, it will ultimately come to this.

        We should also not forget that something like international law never existed for “non-white” states.

      We asked if the world is sure that Germany once more enarms for a war against Russia, knowing what it would entail. The world made its choice clear. Let’s not pretend that those power politics are not wanted. They are exactly what the world asked for and Germany is going to deliver.

      The joke is that Germany is heavily influenced by the US. The threat of a Russian invasion will be exchanged with the EU being controlled by America.

      It’s even better. The US financed the NGOs in Ukraine that enabled the development. How can the EU be democratic and independend if the population doesn’t understand how it is played, but is sure that it does because they know that Putin caused everything?
