The military situation for Germany is not only bad, it's a catastrophe after the failed NATO proxy-war against Russia in Ukraine. Many people do not realise what the situation actually means for one of Europe's largest industrial nations. In this talk, Dr. Erich Vad exposes in detail the many flaws of German and European security.
Original video in German: • Ukrainekrieg Ist Nicht...
Dr. Erich Vad was an advisor for security and defense policy in the Bundestag from 2000 to 2006, and from 2006 to 2013, he was a department head in the Federal Chancellery, Secretary of the Federal Security Council, and military advisor to Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Recently, Dr. Vad authored a new book in German titled “Abschreckend oder erschreckend? Europa ohne Sicherheit” ("Deterring or Frightening? Europe Without Security") and it is a book with a clear message: Europe must strengthen its military and achieve economic emancipation. Germany should be a driving force in this effort.
While I do not fully or even partially agree with some of Mr. Vad’s recommendations, I find his analysis of current events very worthwhile, as it comes clearly from realism, coupled with strong military considerations for European security.

This is how cringe worthy and low Germany has become.

Every time the Cuban missile crisis is mentioned, the westerners present it in a way that USSR was the aggressor, placing it's missiles in Cuba, while in reality it was USA that placed it's missiles in Turkey in 1962, and USSR - in retaliation - placed it's missiles in Cuba in 1963.

Yes, but that is not really the fault of common western citizens, but due to the same exceptionally dangerous mechanisms as we are victims of today; massive, continuous propaganda demonizing our so called "adversaries" and presenting a insanely spinned variant of "reality". Media being no real media, in sense of scrutinizing the power apparatus of a nation , are nothing but puppets of the political elite, thus being the ultimate war mongers of our time.

…so when Ukraine was attacking ethnic Russians in the Donbas that was perfectly ok? Germany did not feel it should have intervened militarily. He tries to cover up his bias but his hatred for Russia is apparent. An interesting conversation and important; his book I think should be read, but I stress there is an egotism hiding in the shadows; he (or rather the bourgeois centre he admits to be a product of ) simply thinks Russians are inferior to the rest of Western Europe. This theme, very subtle runs through his entire analysis. Now I disagree, this conflict will end in a military solution. It does not have to be a humiliating defeat and Russia gloats but the message has to be clear…don’t come over here and arrogantly urinate on our doorstep. This the only way to drive the Americans out who seem to think they have the god given right to emasculate the globe. This cancer, localised in Ukraine which admittedly Russia allowed to fester will be cut out. Russia will be patient but it will prevail.

Crimea was cut off of the Russian SSR (Russia) and ceded to the Ukrainian SSR by Nikita Khrushchev the Soviet dictator - willy-nilly - in 1954. At that time it had NO Ukrainian ethnic/language population whatsoever - virtually zilch. Even in 2014 - when Russia TOOK it BACK, 80% of the population was non-Ukrainian; mainly Russian and Crimean Tatars. And... Russia's primary reason to take it back wasn't the majority Russian population. It was that the Russian Navy base, Sevastopol was to be handed over to the US Navy, by the coup-installed US puppets of Kiev. FYI: I even know the building and can show on the map, which was to be converted to be the US Navy's headquarters. The US Navy even had a tender on its website, for the renovation/conversion.

Pascal your guest appears to have a very short and selective memory about aggression. Germany was a fascist country and had aggressively invaded Russia and caused millions of deaths. Now, it is a joke that he sees Russia as an aggressor. As to the hostility to China, it is more bizarre. He should consult his history book about Germany’s agression in China in the 19 century- burning down the Summer Palace and the scramble for concessions in the Eastern part of China. China is thousands miles away from Germany. What had the people done to deserve to be killed because the allies just fancied trading their wares there? This ex-military is absurdly uneducated and swallowed the propaganda of the collective west. Since he is retired, he should use his time to re-educate himself.

the former general keeps insisting NATO is a defensive alliance against threats. This begs the question, defense for what, and against which threats? If we go down the list of NATO operations, it would be quite clear that the object for defense is US hegemony and interest, in whatever shape or form it might be, from political to material like oil. As for threat, anything or anyone who threatens the said object is considered a threat. Take China for example. its not even in the same continent. Same as Russia, and yet they are the greatest threat to the US hegemony and interest, so they are a threat, despite the fact that they had deep economic ties with Europe and severing those is simply going to lead Europe down the path of economic stagnation. yet here we are, europe killing itself to ensure the actual object of defense remains intact. There is clear cause for concern that Russia can invade europe, given the past, however, this is also true that reason why this can happen is due to a lack of diplomacy. Now they are all scared that trump will come and they'll be left to their own devices. Question you should be asking is, why should it matter to Europe who becomes president in another continent? You will have Russia on your border regardless. It's common sense to have a strong diplomatic team for that. Won't work now though. This is another reason why USA and NATO is so bad for Europe. To appease them, you antagonize Russia and China who are close by, to the point where there is active animosity now. Such a bizarre case of shortsightedness its baffling.

This is the part that gets to me. The part of immigration. You cannot complain about illegal migration when you are the main contributor to the reason for that. You go to these countries and destabilize the place because you want your way and you want your resources without paying a fair cent for it. You turn the place into a hellhole for the locals and then you expect them to stay in that hellhole while you go live in the heaven you created WITH THEIR RESOURCES. What do you think was going to happen? Every human being wants comfort so if you deny others of it, don't expect to have it for yourself. Imagine sanctioning a country for trying to start an agricultural program so they can feed themselves without importing food. You want them to either buy food from you or die. You have no right to complain about illegal immigration. You caused it and still denying it. Own your faults, acknowledge them, and correct them and you will have peace.

Certainly we are the bad guys!) We attacked only 2 countries - Georgia and Ukraine - and only because there was a NATO decision in 2008 to expand to these countries. War with Georgia was a week long - almost zero civilians died - and it was enough to change its policy towards NATO. Since then - we have good relationship. Then the Ukraine. We were telling hundreds of times from 2008 to 2021 that there will be no NATO there. Explaining our concerns, trying all the different ways to negotiate. Zero result. Our strong desire to avoid war was seen as weakness. So now we are explaining our position with other means.

At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, President Kennedy was surprised to discover that the U.S. had nuclear missiles in Turkey since 1958 aimed at the Soviet Union. President Kennedy ordered the removal of U.S. nuclear missiles from Turkey, as part of the deal he struck with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to resolve the Cuban Missile Crisis. Oct 19 2019: As Washington attempted to find a diplomatic way of responding to the Turkey’s invasion of Syria, an estimated 50 to 90 US nuclear tactic bombs B-61 are effectively stored in Turkey. Turkey was not allowed its own supply of the weapons under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty the country signed in 1980.

The objective of the war in Ukraine, from a western government prospective, is actually pretty evident: to weaken Russia, cause a regime change that puts into power someone amenable to western interests (as in mainly US interests), break the collaboration between Russia and China and (for Poland and the Baltic states at least) Balkanize Russia turning it into a minor power. Is this realistic? Facts on the ground say it is not and even that war strengthened Russia’s ties with China, but the people who want and support war are to committed (better: have got us too committed) to their project to admit its failure.

It's interesting how all the West sees Cuban crisis. They all are confusing cause and consequence. I'm surprised that even people like him don't know. Probably he knows, but won't admitt it because of their bias or are taking orders from the boss. Cuban crisis didn't start because Soviets wanted to put their missiles on Cuba. It started because Soviets wanted missiles removed from Turkey. Soviets shipped missiles on the decks of the ships, clearly visible..... Why? So Americans could see them. Do you think Soviets didn't have capacities to transport them secretly? They could do that an when they would have been installed, they ciuld just present the fact and US could do squat. US, and consequentially the whole obedient West portray Cuban crisis as Kennedy's victory, but, in fact, it was more Khruschev's victory. US did what Soviets wanted, they removed missiles from Turkey. But US will never admitt that, they claim they removed them because they were already obsolete and they already planned to remove them... That's b.s. If that were the case, they would just replace them with new ones, but didn't.

When he talks about Russia as a future threat to Europe, he is completely wrong, when did Russia attack a Western European country unless it itself was attacked?

He dares not cross that line in the current climate. It's called a general's instinct for self-preservation. At least he set forth the cold reality of it all, which takes a lot of courage in Germany. I am baffled by how a highly cultured nation, with such a profound abundance of native intelligence, can so easily be manipulated by the elite party line in any given year.

​@ivetajo71 Well, he also had some criticism of Nato policy, lack of diplomacy, etc... That led to conflict. Yes, he was very much part of the Nato establishment. But one of the more saner voices. So one can go after him... and then there will be no conversation, but sure, everyone in their respective echo chambers will be happy...

Europe is undefendable. Any bomb anywhere is a catastrophy. In the USA they still think they are safe, but that's no longer the case. The USA may lose this war without a single bullet: digitally and financially. Innovation will come from Asia, the Dollar will no longer be dominant. The Rust Belt is spreading out in many other sectors of society, in different forms. The USA is done. They can no longer do what they did 55 years ago: fly to the moon and come back. Bankrupt. Finito. Europe should disconnect and concentrate on Eurasia.

Panowie Kukuła, Hołownia, Kosiniak-Kamysz, Skrzypczak, Sikorski-Applebaum... - to samozwańczy "eksperci" od Wschodu, którzy cierpią na wielkopańsko-sarmackie kompleksy wyższości wobec Rosji i Rosjan czego nawet nie ukrywają. Ten "prometeizm", zaściankowa mania wielkości śmieszy i jednocześnie przeraża. Ich bohaterska buńczuczność i zakrapiana drwiną arogancja przypomina mi wypowiedzenie wojny Japonii przez Polski Rząd Emigracyjny w Londynie 11 grudnia 1941. Iście szwoleżerska brawura tej decyzji zapisała się złotymi zgłoskami w historii II WŚ obok deklaracji wojny Stanom Zjednoczonym i Wielkiej Brytanii przez pozbawione dostępu do morza Węgry czy Słowację w 1941 roku, akt wojny wypowiedziany III Rzeszy przez rząd San Marino w 1944 roku bądź przyłączenie się plemienia Kwazulu w RPA do koalicji antyhitlerowskiej w 1943 roku. Spodziewałem się, że w imieniu prezydenta Dudy... i prezydenta Zeleńskiego - będziemy zaproszeni na uroczyste podpisanie aktu kapitulacji Rosji w... Perejesławiu. Nie chcę nikogo rozczarowywać ale obecnie Polska jest traktowana w politycznych elitach Rosji nie jako podmiot ale instrument Waszyngtonu. Nic więcej. Polscy politycy zanim zaczniecie wnikać w istotę stosunków Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej i Rosji, proszę się uważnie przyjrzeć naszym POPiSowym mężom stanu "po kelnersku" stojącym na baczność nie tylko przed (nie mniej karykaturalnym od Breżniewa) Bidenem ale nawet przed drugorzędnymi, leniwie żującumi gumę anglojęzycznymi urzędasami. Przytoczę "ekspertom" humorystyczną i otrzeźwiającą metaforę: Idzie mrówka przez most u boku słonia i z dumą krzyczy: "Słoniu, ale ten most się pod nami ugina!" Trudno nazwać Polskę krajem niepodległym, skoro na naszym terytorium znajdują się obce bazy wojskowe (pamiętacie jeszcze "Fort Trump"? :-) ... o eksterytorialnym "ośrodku krzewienia zachodnich wartości cywilizacyjnych" i klasycznym przykładzie naszej suwerenności w Kiejkutach nie wspominając. Ponoć Putin nigdy nie wybaczy Polsce pomarańczowej rewolucji??? Nie zajęcie Moskwy przez Żółkiewskiego w 1610 roku? Nie wojny napoleońskie? Nie ”Cud nad Wisłą”? A ja myślałem, że do dziś Putin nie wybaczył Polakom ”gestu Kozakiewicza” na Olimpiadzie w Moskwie w 1980 roku. Mówią oni o Rosji w oderwaniu od ogólnej sytuacji geopolitycznej na świecie. Nie dociera do nich oczywista prawda, że - z moralnego punktu widzenia - cynizm i wyrachowanie Putina w niczym się nie różni od hypokryzji Bidena i jego minionów w Paryżu, Londynie , Berlinie a nawet w Brukseli. Nasi eksperci lubują się w wylewaniu wszelakich pomyjów na Rosję/Rosjan. Jeżeli chcecie ujrzeć ludzi walających się "w gównie" zapraszam nie, nie, nie do Moskwy czy St Petersburga ale do nowojorskiego metra, na ulice Chicago, Seatle czy nawet San Francisco. Uwielbiają oni przeginać "przysłowiowa pałę" w kwestii Katynia. Film Wajdy "Katyń" był w szerokiej dystrybucji w "totalitarnej" Rosji, natomiast film Smarzowskiego "Wołyń" do dziś jest zakazany w naszej "braterskiej" Ukrainie. Wszyscy bez wyjątku ani słowem nie wspominają o przeszytych na wskroś nazistowską ideologią herosach z "Azova", "Ajdara", "S14", "Тоrnado"... i banderowcach z "Prawego Sektora". Ci wytatuowani od stóp do głów hitlerowskimi symbolami siepacze leczą się dziś... nie uwierzycie... w niemieckich i izraelskich szpitalach. Synkowie ukraińskich patriotów-prominentów, którzy nie opuścili jeszcze Ukrainy zapytani dlaczego nie wstąpili do wojska odpowiadają, że - w przeciwieństwie do wcielanych prosto z ulicy - on “nie mają wojskowych nawyków i nie nadają do służby w amii. Ukraińskie "elity" wraz z członkami programu ”Kwartał 95” dziś topią swoją depresję i... ukraiński fatalizm w alkoholu z domieszką amfetaminy na tonącym banderowskim "Titanicu". To rosyjskojęzyczne towarzystwo wzajemnej adoracji tworzy rdzeń Partii prezydenta Zieleńskiego, który - tak jak większość z nich - nadal uczy się języka ukraińskiego w trybie przyśpieszonym. Na zakończenie przypomnę polskim politykom... i nie tylko , że tym rosyjskim imperialistom my Polacy (wraz z innymi wschodnioeuropejskimi "untermensch'ami") zawdzięczmy swoje biologiczne istnienie. Mamy 600 000 powodów aby o tym zawsze pamiętać przechadzając się i rozmawiając po polsku na ulicach malowniczych prastarych piastowskich miast: Litzmannstadt, Allenstein, Elbing, Danzig, Gotenhafen, Zoppot, Kolberg, Stolp, Swinemünde, Misdroy, Stettin, Küstrin, Bromberg, Posen, Graudenz, Breslau, Ohlau, Oppeln, Görlitz, Königshütte, Gleiwitz, Kattowitz, Beuthen, Thorn, Glogau, Hirschberg, Liegnitz, Schweidnitz, Glatz, Waldenburg, Grünberg, Hindenburg... tak wspaniałomyślnie przekazanych nam po 1945 roku przez naszych zachodnich sąsiadów.

I heard it was MILLIONS OF UKRAINIANS including surrounding countries altogether like Poland says they have more than that. They left to avoid the forced kidnapping/conscription off the streets and where about 500,000 are presumed dead and twice that injured. Many are Ukrainian and Russian speaking even though Zelensky BANNED THAT RUSSIAN LANGUAGE, BANNED THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX and even passed a Bill to allow unapproved by relatives, organ harvesting. Yeah!

Too difficult for all of Nato to acknowledge that the US, - Biden, Nuland, and even Trump wanted it destroyed. To acknowledge it would be to accuse your boss of an act of war against you. Like rape. The US resented Germany getting cheap Russian gas which created a mega industrial powerful state. Couldn't be abided by the US hegemon. None of the Baltic states, Norway, Sweden, Denmark came up with any conclusions, but they all know, but can't say - yet.

Germany would probably benefit more than any other European nation from the Asian Silk Road initiative (upon full completion). An overland transport system designed for high volume is less costly than ocean shipping. Germany's talent for designing and manufacturing high-end products of quality will always result in global trade advantages, including that which could stem from the Eurasian masses in their billions. The German dilemma is fundamentally one of being caught in the past, with a deep political animus against Russia, as voiced by General Vad. To regain the high status it once held, Germany's near-vassal status should be transcended in order to maximize its national potential. It's been long enough.
