War in Europe: Who benefits from armament? Interview on WDR-Mittagsecho

The global arms industry generates record profits – but what does this mean for peace and security in Europe? In an interview with WDR 5 “Mittagsecho”, Dr. Ulrich Kühn talks about the global arms build-up. This is initially a bad sign, says Ulrich Kühn, because it means that we are living in a world with more and bigger wars. The war in Ukraine, for example, is the largest land war since World War II and it is not yet clear how it will continue in the coming year. “We will see more armament in Europe, Russia will continue to view the West as an enemy, the U.S. will turn away from Europe and focus more on China,” Ulrich Kühn’s predicts. Germany has neglected armament in recent years because there was no reason to do otherwise.

You can listen to the interview with Dr. Ulrich Kühn on WDR 5 “Mittagsecho” from 02.12.2024 in the ARD media library.
