In our first Episode Dr. Claudia Major and Dr. Magdalena Kirchner explain how the United States worked together during their time in Afghanistan. What were the reasons, Germany joined the U.S. in their mission back in 2001?  Were Germany and other European countries dependent on US-Troups? Should Europe improve their military autonomy? 
These are only some of the questions our Host Anne McElvoy discussed with our two guests in this episode.
