Your reply is as nonsensical as it is dishonest. If you were opposed to war, you would have written a column calling on Germany to reject US threats against Russia and the expansion of NATO into Ukraine. 1/

Instead, your column cynically mocks the persistent and deep-rooted anti-war sentiments among the German people, and refers to opposition to the use of German weapons against Russians as a "catechism." 2/
You reject references to the horrors of World War II - in which Germany killed tens of millions of people - "as not particularly useful in the 21st century." You should be ashamed of yourself for writing such words. 3/
Though they may be of no interest to you, "historical arguments" about the crimes committed by the Nazis and the Wehrmacht will remain relevant and haunt the memory of mankind throughout this new century and for centuries to come. 4/
The United States & NATO are not interested in "helping Ukraine to defend itself." This is sheer propaganda that conceals the geopolitical, economic and social interests that motivate its threats against Russia. 5/
The United States - which blatantly violated international law when it invaded Iraq and Afghanistan - is no more interested in the fate of Ukrainians than Hitler was in the fate of Sudeten Germans. 6/
Before issuing further demands for a more aggressive German foreign policy, perhaps you should spend time studying the history of World War I and II. The works of the great historian Fritz Fischer would be a good place for you to begin your education. 7/7
