18 – Freedom is a Duty – Why Germany Needs to Go From Zeitenwende to Grand Strategy
Description
In BerlinsideOut’s first season finale, Ben and Aaron identify key themes and talk through their highlights from the last few months focusing on how Germany’s Zeitenwende has progressed - or not - in that time, how allies see that, and why Germany needs a real grand strategy. We also have a look back at some of the most memorable lines and lessons from the first season, look ahead to season two – and answer listener questions on everything from German commitment to NATO and preparedness for war, to trying to explain the thinking of Olaf Scholz.
