Young Green leaders for World War 3

In the 1980s, the German Green party demanded that “West Germany leave NATO”. Today, the same party speaks of “global responsibility” under the “protective shield of NATO”. Last year its think-tank, the Heinrich Böll Foundation, demanded that more tax money be spent on ‘defence’ and nuclear weapons, since it deems NATO the “core of the transatlantic relationship”. The Joe Biden administration is considered the best-case scenario by the Greens: according to the Böll Foundation, this government “knows that the US can only maintain its own role as a global power by closely cooperating with a Europe that is ready to act”.
