Germany is Militarizing its Citizens as the Far Right Gains Momentum and Free Speech is Punished

Germany’s recent actions in the realms of military support and domestic policy have raised significant concerns about its role in stoking conflicts and pushing for increased militarization among its citizens. The German government’s steadfast support for Ukraine, exemplified by the provision of substantial military aid and equipment, has been a pivotal factor in the ongoing war against Russia.

Germany has committed over €33.9 billion in bilateral support for Ukraine, including arms and equipment from Bundeswehr stockpiles and defense industry deliveries, positioning itself as a major player in the conflict

Concurrently, Germany’s unwavering endorsement of Israel, particularly amid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, has drawn criticism for exacerbating tensions in the region. This support is often seen as one-sided, ignoring the severe impact on Palestinian civilians and contributing to the cycle of violence.
