How Militarization & War broke the German government

In this episode of The Source, our senior editor Zain Raza interviews Reiner Braun, former executive director of the International Peace Bureau and peace activist, in-depth about German domestic politics. They also explore the role that militarization and war support played in the collapse of the coalition government of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Green Party, and the Free Democratic Party (FDP). They also examine the upcoming federal elections in Germany in the context of the Ukraine conflict and assess the rise and impact of the pro-peace and NATO-critical party of Sahra Wagenknecht called Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance – Reason and Justice (BSW). Finally, they discuss Germany's reaction to the International Criminal Court's recent arrest warrant issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, charging them with war crimes and crimes against humanity.
