Berlin's Baltic Shift

Following a recent federal election and the approval of substantial war credits, Germany's ruling elite is actively escalating its war agenda, primarily focused on eastward military expansion and preparing for potential conflict with Russia. The article highlights the historical context, drawing parallels to Germany's World War II aggression against the Soviet Union. It accuses the current government, a coalition led by the Social Democrats, Greens, and Free Democrats, of reviving this dangerous policy. A key aspect of this escalation is the significant increase in military spending, deemed the largest since the Nazi era. The author sees this as a clear sign of Germany's aggressive intentions. The article emphasizes the threat posed by Germany's military build-up, particularly targeting Russia, a nuclear power. It suggests that this policy is deeply rooted in German imperialism and is driven by a desire for geopolitical dominance in Eastern Europe. find the original article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/04/03/qqos-a03.html
