How does the author suppose Germany will rebuild its military in time to avoid becoming a vassal state to a fascist America or a resurgent Russia? Sometimes, there are only bad choices.
Great analysis, thank you. I haven't seen such a profound political volte-face in European politics since Chirac switched from Euroskeptic candidate to championing European integration in government.
Unfortunately the analogy carries the consequences: the French center-right Les Républicains disintegrated faster than a baguette in a Paris downpour after Macron was elected. Unfortunately the CDU probably will follow the same path.

And that opening on the right may allow a path to participation in governing by the AFD. All part of Merkel's legacy. Tragic.
In France, that was followed by the further rise of the National Front. I don't want to contemplate the AFD getting the same percentage.
