What Germany is doing now is truly impressive. Nothing will work without Germany. It must show others its leadership role – and it is doing so.

According to the NATO Secretary General, the build-up of armaments must proceed at a rapid pace.
According to various intelligence estimates, otherwise the situation could become dangerous starting in 2027, 2029 or 2031.

The war in Ukraine shows that Putin is ready to sacrifice 1.1 million people.
