(30 May 2022) As we mark the 77th anniversary of the victory of Allied troops over Nazi Germany, the United States still has tens of thousands of troops stationed in Europe.

(22 May 2022) upg. Klaus von Dohnanyi is a political legend. In January 2022 he published his latest book “Nationale Interessen. Orientierung für deutsche und europäische Politik in Zeiten von globalen Umbrüchen“ (“National Interests. Orientation for German and European politicies in times of global upheaval”). In it, he warned against a war in Ukraine. On 22 April, two months after the outbreak of war, the Norddeutscher Rundfunk NDR interviewed him.
