Medvedev calls for the killing of Germans: Putin’s game with “German Fear”. But we shouldn't allow ourselves to be intimidated, comments Georg Anastasiadis.
Prudence is good, but fear does not make our country safer. On the contrary, only strength deters Putin, says Merkur editor-in-chief Georg Anastsiadis, who is also editor of the German newspaper Die Presse. He adds that the Peace Chancellor and his SPD also have to ask themselves whether they should really get involved in Russia's threatening rhetoric.
