New Book Challenges Germany’s Push for ‘War-Readiness’ Over Peace
A new book titled How the East Can Save Germany challenges the growing political focus on 'war-readiness'. The author argues that this mindset is outdated and misguided. Instead, they propose a shift toward becoming 'peace-capable' as the true measure of strength.
Recent debates in Germany have pushed for the country to become 'war-ready', framing it as a path to security and global responsibility. The author rejects this approach, calling it a return to old thinking. They insist that peace is not a fixed state but something that must be actively pursued every day.
The book presents an alternative vision for Germany’s role in the world. It rejects military readiness as the primary goal and instead promotes peace as an ongoing effort. The author’s arguments centre on diplomacy, dialogue, and a broader definition of security.
