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.

I hope we won’t get more anti EU politicians in the future. But with the far right rising everywhere also in France and Germany, this becomes a real threat.

I the Iraq war Germany had a center left Chancellor. Now Germany has a center right Chancellor, who was fishing far right voters in his campaign. So it was expectable.

Chancellor Merz speech at the Munich Sicherheitskonferenz however was different from this.
