When the immense costs of defending #Ukraine - and, by the way, our freedom - are repeatedly brought up, the following aspects must be taken into account: 👉 Freedom is not an economic issue, 👉 So-called peace dividend - especially in Germany - was collected over decades, which raises the question of where the money saved actually seeped away and was unfortunately not used to modernize the infrastructure. 👉 Investments in defense also mean economic growth and pressure to innovate, which will also benefit other areas (2 % of EU-GDP > 300 billion € p.a.) 👉 Investments in Ukraine's freedom are leading to an enormous reconstruction program with paybacks in the future. The realization should finally be that dependence on non-democratic states is a significant risk and that unfortunately sanctions cannot be used effectively as an alternative to armed conflict. Companies with individual goals are not the benchmark here; politics - harmonized at European and transatlantic levels - must provide the framework.

Klare Kante gegen Aussagen der AfD: "Wenn Sie das für Deutschland gelten lassen, dann würden wir noch die gleiche Regierung haben wie 1944. Denn mit dieser Begründung hätte kein Alliierter dafür gekämpft, diese nationalsozialistische Diktatur auszulöschen." Siegfried Russwurm Danke
