Service thread with some observations on the draft election platform of #Germany|s #Green Party @Die_Gruenen (published 19 March)
gruene.de/artikel/wahlpr…
#Greens call for a more active #German foreign policy & above all for a strengthening of the #EU. Franco-German cooperation πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ referenced along mside a #transatlantic approach. Issue of systemic rivalry with authoritarians highlighted.
#Greens describe the #transatlantic partnership as pillar of πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ foreign policy, with #climate as core element. Recognition that #US will be less focused on European #security & that @Europe will need to do more. Good to see specific mention of security of
#Poland & πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ͺπŸ‡±πŸ‡»πŸ‡±πŸ‡Ή

Having read through the #UK #IntegratedReview a few personal observations from a πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ perspective, focusing on just a few key points - short thread
Very good to see how clearly the #IntegratedReview prioritizes #Europe & the #UK role via #NATO
Also good to see that cooperation with the #EU in the area of #security is specifically referenced.
The #IntegratedReview appropriately highlights #geopolitical & #geoeconomic shifts and the importance of the #IndoPacific while being realistic about what #UK #capabilities can achieve in that part of the world (emphasis on diplomacy & partnerships).

On this day, 75 years ago, #Stauffenberg and others risked all to decapitate the Nazi regime and end the war. Those involved were soldiers and civilians. They came from the left and the right of the political spectrum.
We will remember them.
#20Juli1944
Since the question was asked: The photo is of my grandfather, Fritz Count von der Schulenburg, his wife Charlotte, and their six children. He was arrested on 20 July and excuted on 10 August 1944.
Many thnx for the replies. My grandfather was hardly flawless. But:
- He was involved in plans for a coup from 1938 onward
- He was a liaison to socialdemocrats (Julius Leber)
- He knew chances of success were slim in 44
-He knew what was at risk if the coup failed and went ahead
