What the Greens politician means exactly remains unclear. Above all, she has a tip for her successor, whom she only indirectly expresses: Germany should continue to do an active foreign policy and stand for international rule -based order.
In fact, the task for your successor is not easy. Wade phulic will not be able to take long familiarization time, for him it goes upside down into crisis mode. In the end, not only the future federal government benefits from a careful and trusting handover of the office, but also the whole country.
Because the geopolitical situation is dramatic, which also shows the meeting of the eleven NATO countries in Denmark. Bornholm is strategically important, the Baltic Sea area is threatened by Russia’s hybrid war against the European countries. “We will advise Bornholm how we can further increase the security on the water,” says Baerbock in her press statement. On the one hand, it is about the protection of critical infrastructure, on the seabed and above the water surface. Even before the meeting, the Greens politician had declared that the hybrid threat situation had exacerbated. Subject cables would be cut, data lines are interrupted or damaged power cables.
However, more cooperation is also important with a view to Trump. Baerbock rejects a dictation peace as well as most other EU countries and Ukraine itself. “It cannot be in the interests of the United States that a deal is closed that leads to further aggression. But we need a reliable and permanent peace and we are Europeans for that,” she says on Tuesday. There should not only be a stronger support from Ukraine, but also other sanctions against Russia. The message behind it seems clear: Trump only reacts to strength and the EU and the European NATO countries have to present their own political proposals in order to be heard in Washington.
