European rearmament is a foolish plan of war – Mongering elites – ft. Michael von der Schulenburg

In today’s interview, we sit down with Michael Von Der Schulenburg, MEP for Germany’s BSW and former longtime UN diplomat. This is the first of a two-part series on the Russo-Ukrainian conflict: in this episode, we dig into the european political leadership’s approach – highlighting the path-dependent, often militarized decisions of an elite seemingly fixated on confrontation with Russia. Michael doesn’t hold back, also commenting on the missteps of European leaders like Kaja Kallas and von der Leyen, whose decisions he sees as shortsighted and reckless; we also tackle current european rearmament, starting with Germany’s new conscription law. Is it a return to compulsory service? How are young germans reacting? Michael gives us his perspective. Stay tuned for part 2, where we go deeper into the roots of the proxy war in Ukraine and the broader West–Russia dynamics.
