A World of Extraordinary Dynamism
T he defence minister of Germany, a fervently peace-loving country for several decades and the one most tightly covered in the US protective cloak (Ramstein base and others), recently said that we must be ready for war in Europe. And he called for further modernisation of the Bundeswehr. The context is, of course, the bloody struggle between Russia and Ukraine, which not only according to politicians, but also according to experts, is only “ the first phase of a wider conflict between the West and a new axis of evil ” .
A few months earlier, senior US administration officials had openly admitted that rapid changes were taking place in the US military to take into account the risk of war – which is not inevitable, however – with China. One general even stopped short of ruling out that it may happen in 2025, at the same time expressing the hope that he was wrong.
When the latest conflict in Gaza exploded, there were widespread claims that it could become a hotbed of global turmoil of unprecedented proportions. A lot of effort has been put into ensuring that this is not the case, but the Middle East continues to be a globally relevant flashpoint.
