Nation at a crossroads: a reading guide to the 2025 German election
Some comments on an FT article by Paul A Myers.
Expanded opportunity to the east with an economically expansionist policy depends upon Europe maintaining hard power military strength along the eastern Nato border to forestall Russian brigandage while sustaining European suzerainty over Ukraine and certainly not permitting Russian domination. Future European economic growth depends on Europe democratically controlling Ukraine. The only European country capable of being at the center of such a European alliance to manage the challenges and potentially huge benefits is Germany, a Germany at the center of a more cohesive and integrated Europe.
Europe must lead in the management of foreign policies relating to all the regions on the periphery of Europe. The era of American leadership of European vital interests is over; it’s dying at a conference table in Saudi Arabia. [emphasis added]
Our – my – world has changed.
