"We have to make war a failure. This is the attempt by Putin to reintroduce war as a tool of foreign policy in Europe in the 21st century."

I is useful to take a moment and recognize what a hubristic, crazy, delusional statement this is. Blob thinking at its worst.

Like so many that make their living within the media political chattering class, I see Norbert Röttgen attempting swim in the critical thinking deep end of the pool, while still clutching memes of the left side... or the establishment globalist Regime side.

It appears to me that German youth are the leading indicator of the western political rejection of the establishment globalist Regime... that started with Brexit.

"For 30 years or so, we took this peace dividend and we got so accustomed to this comfortable situation that the political class and the majority decided to ignore anything that got in the way of this perception that military and defense instruments were not the tools we should apply"

This is absolutely true not just for Germany but for other countries. It is the last clause in the Bretton Woods Act that has made the US stupid for nearly 80 years... spending 4-6% of GDP on defense... much of it to help police the world and seas so that international commerce could flourish. The other countries became looter and moochers of this benefit spending next to nothing on their own security and defense, and instead spent lavishly on their social programs... and here is the final straw that causes the majority of American to say "no mas" actually demonized the US for its charity in keeping the world safe.

Really, F__k Germans for this. I have a neighbor that immigrated from Germany and of course this is his opinion. I tell that he became spoiled and it is too bad that we did not let the USSR just take over all of Germany because apparently German citizens cannot hold any perspective of what is funding and protecting their good life after they destroyed half the world.

As the US pulls back from the Global Order, we will have social and economic chaos as countries like Germany failed to invest enough in their own security. The also support the boneheaded globalist march that allowed communist China into the WTO.

The Great Reset is occurring, but it is not the one that the WEF expected... it is the opposite. Nations are nations and they cannot rely on other nations to care enough about them to behave in the interest of the global community. Globalism is dead. Long-live national sovereignty with global trade.
