As part of the '''indoctrination of humanistic values''' school classes are dragged to old Nazi concentration camps. A normal educated citizen is meant to always remember history and be fair on everyone. What sounds good in theory can result in '''bizarre inner conflicts within society''', sometimes people are then named being hyper moralistic. People from the right spectrum wear the support for state Israel like an armor. At the same time they have no problem in excessively criticizing other foreign persons, especially when they are immigrates. They seem to believe that when they are pro-Israel they cannot be racists. On the other hand there are people from the left spectrum who have a blind eye for problems immigrates cause. For examples clan criminality, mafia, Arabic/pro-Palestine antisemitism were problems ignored for too many years since their fight back did not fit into the German welcome culture. The [[wp:2021_Israel–Palestine_crisis|Israel-Palestine crisis]] and the [[wp:2021–2022_Belarus–European_Union_border_crisis|Belarus-EU border crisis]] in 2021 shook Germany's self-image. As a result the failed migration and integration politics are finally realized through essentially all political parties. Yet, much work is to do to grind away ideological hardening and formulating improved arrangements. | As part of the '''indoctrination of humanistic values''' school classes are dragged to old Nazi concentration camps.

As for pacifism and appeasement policy - USA and NATO | As for pacifism and appeasement policy - USA (and rest of NATO) often work hard on Germany so that it agrees to their ''invitations'' for wars and sanctions against rivals. This is partly a good thing as USA often act themselves strongly ideological just trying to protect their zone of influence. The collateral damage USA cause on their partner - despite protestations to the contrary - is eventually secondary for them: ''America first''. | ||
At the same time Germany earns good money exporting weapons. One record races another. Despite many restrictions often enough those weapons find a way into conflict zones. | At the same time Germany earns good money exporting weapons. One record races another.

Eventually geopolitics are always about securing your slice of cake in another country - may it be USA, EU, Russia, China or whosoever. The only difference is how they are doing it. (After [[wp:Operation_Cyclone|decades long Afghanistan conflict]] the Western self-image got cracks. Consequences are being discussed.) | Eventually geopolitics are always about securing your slice of cake in another country - may it be USA, EU, Russia, China or whosoever.

Russia is working on its comeback. Does it just want respect? It's a term that caused strong diplomatic turbulence between Germany and Ukraine January 2021. Everybody knows the Crimea will not come back to the Ukranie but drawing it as a fatalistic fact therefore seemingly excusable was reckless. While that conflict is a problem for itself Kay-Achim Schönbach should have said "Russia wants to be taken serious" instead of "respect". Russia wants also a piece of the cake, the geopolitical cake, money. NATO expanded eastward multiple times, therefore expanded their zone of influence. Why in the world would Russia just stand still and say "that's okay with us"? Sure, the smaller nations should be free to choose which alliance they want to join but that's not how the world works. That's the ugly truth. Only realpolitics can solve this conflict. | Russia is working on its comeback. Does it just want respect?
