Germany’s military power is on the rise. This time it must be firmly embedded in Europe
As Russian aggression continues and Trump’s US threatens #nato it is even more vital for a unified defence of the continent
"In the 1990s, Merz’s great predecessor, #HelmutKohl, embedded a newly united #Germany in a European single market and monetary union. No country benefited more than Germany itself. Merz should aim to do the same for European security" by #TimothyGartonAsh #theguardian #FriedrichMerz

Ash und Rauscher haben Recht – aber die USA und Russland kämpfen nicht mit Ideen, sondern mit fossilem Kapital gegen Europa
Liberale Kommentatorinnen und Kommentatoren erkennen klar, dass die Trump-Administration die liberale Demokratie in Europa beseitigen will. Die neue amerikanische Sicherheitsstrategie ist dafür ein eindeutiger Beleg (National Security Strategy of the United States of America, 2025). Ich habe dazu die Artikel von Timothy Garton Ash (Ash, 2025) und Hans Rauscher (Rauscher, 2025) gelesen. Der Guardian bringt eine Analyse mit Ideen für ökonomische Gegenmaßnahmen von Georg Riekeles und Varg Volkman (Riekeles & Folkman, 2025). […] -
CW: Politics: Timothy Garton Ash on Ukraine and Eutopean self defense (without the US)

Americans have 400 days to save their #democracy by #TimothyGartonAsh #theguadian
"I return to Europe from the US with a clear conclusion: American democrats (lowercase d) have 400 days to start saving US democracy. If next autumn’s midterm elections produce a Congress that begins to constrain #DonaldTrump there will then be a further 700 days to prepare the peaceful transfer of executive power that alone will secure the future of this republic. Operation Save US Democracy, stages 1 and 2."
