DW is the only public funded media which spends more time criticising their own country than any other. I really respect it.

Really only american news does not. Journalism is supposed to criticise. Not wave flags. But US news is corporate. And therefore has to be angled, packaged, marketed and sold to a target customer. And that targeted customer may not want criticism.

DW News is actually tax funded as part of foreign relations. The other broadcasters are publicly funded, but not tax based, so they are financially even more independent.

Germany needs to get real about geopolitics. The world is changing, and they are getting left. Behind.

@eddgrs9193 Ай бұрын

They did get real about geopolitics. But they need to get real about the way they conduct it. They should get to Realpolitik principles. And this applies to all Western countries. It's the reason France was kicked out of the Sahel region by Russia.

Geopolitics first is about diplomacy, war is bankruptcy of politics.

@@Kartoffelsuppe_m_Wursteinlage You speak in absolutes , but things are more nuanced than that. "Speak softly, but carry a big stick." Diplomacy only works if you have something to back it up with. While the West wants to believe that all people have the same values , the truth is they don't. Most people are not impressed by kind words, and are sick and tired by moral lessons coming from the West. Most people respect power. You have to project power, if you want to be taken seriously. Only way to do that is to be militarily powerful. "If you want peace, prepare for war." - This is the reason we have war in Europe now, because Europe was not prepared for it.

This is so embarrassing… Germany needs to be giving 15-20 billion to Ukraine this year to proportionally support then compared to the US. Not slashing support. Insane to wait for the war to reach your doorstep instead of crushing Putin in Ukraine now. The lack of intelligence is so alarming I practically have a panic attack.

Ukraine is the EUs problem, yet you have all this European countries cowardly allowing the Russians to dictate the outcome of things.
