Military deployment as an option

Military deployment as an option

Gepostet von | 28 Feb 2023 | , , | 0

After the turning point, Germany must say goodbye to its dogmatic foreign policy. Probably no other term has been so overused in reporting this year as "turning point". Hardly a journalistic article with even an extended security policy context has managed without it. The turning point is almost exclusively used in a direct context, if not synonymously, with the 100 billion euro special fund for the Bundeswehr. This not only falls far too short, it is also dangerous. As desirable, overdue and necessary as a fully equipped Bundeswehr is for Germany, without the necessary broad societal debate on Germany's future security policy self-image and the future of the country's armed forces, it will be...

Shipyards in distress

For a few years, it seemed as if the Hong Kong-based Genting Group would be a saviour in times of need for some German shipyards. But after the company's bankruptcy, the tenderloin was divided up. The Genting bankruptcy, which began in 2020 and led to the insolvency of the MV Werften Group with sites in Wismar, Warnemünde and Stralsund as well as the Lloyd Werft shipyard in Bremerhaven in March 2022, was the biggest dilemma for the industry in the post-war period after the disaster at Bremer Vulkan in 1995/96.

Back then, you could watch Morris ride through...
