This article is available for the first time in German - it was first published by the German Foreign Policy magazine on April 10, 2024. The article was originally published in the German edition of the magazine, which is now on sale in the U.S. and other countries. The German version of this article has been updated to make clear that the article was published in German and not in English as previously thought. The English version has been amended to reflect the fact that the German version was published on the 10th of April 2024, rather than 10th March 2024, when the German magazine was on sale.
