el reflexive control de putin puede llevarse por delante a "los verdes"

Many Greens have been major drivers of 🇩🇪 support for Ukraine, incl. weapons,
& for stronger 🇩🇪 defence.
This combines values-based foreign policy + clear understanding that:
- 🇺🇦 victory is key for European security
- defence is vital to🇩🇪national Interest.
Now, they face pressure -from inside the party!- to throw this away, capitulate & ‘stop talking about weapons’ in the face of the supposed electoral threat from false ‘peace’ parties like the Kremlin-friendly Wagenknecht BSW. (estos son los "podemos" rojipardos que hicieron buen resultado en turingia y tal)
This would be a huge mistake for the Greens. It would harm Ukraine & European security, let down key European allies (who would clearly understand they are also being thrown under the bus) & undermine Greens reputation for understanding national security - including as a necessary foundation for delivering their other agendas on climate, growth & social justice.
It would also be unlikely to deliver electoral gain and would look like a cheap, unprincipled & opportunistic move to a position in which greens cannot be convincing.
Exactly the kind of mixed messaging that has unsurprisingly failed so badly for Olaf Scholz.
Instead, the Green leadership needs to recover its strategic moorings, realise its strength, and put it to the principled purpose of national interest & national renewal (which 🇩🇪 so badly needs).
Using the ongoing changes in the party as a springboard, the Greens can renew their commitment to real security in Europe - to a lasting, genuine & just peace through strength.
This will only come about by backing Ukraine & ensuring that we can defend ourselves and our allies. And yes, that means weapons - thoughts, prayers & cowardly weakness have proven grossly ineffective at deterring Putin & have only emboldened deadly Russian imperial aggression.
The Greens should get on the front foot & explain tirelessly to voters why Germany & Ukraine need weapons to defend themselves & how this fits into their bigger vision for a positive German future.
They must do the hard work of explaining why rewarding Putin’s aggression would not lead to sustainable or just ‘peace’ - & would, rather, invite authoritarian coercion & make it more difficult to deliver that secure, prosperous, green future.
If Ukraine decides to negotiate, the Greens should, In line with European allies, back Ukraine’s NATO membership as a key condition for any negotiated end to the war - an arrangement of the kind that West Germany benefitted from in the Cold War - and make sure that Germany and Europe, including Ukraine, are armed to defend our people, our interests & our values from dictatorial aggression & imperial coercion.
This is how the Greens can play to their strengths, serve the national interest & European security by sticking to their principles.
