Announcement: Lecture during the Munich Peace Weeks
Where: EineWeltHaus, Room 211/212
When: Monday, November 17, 2025, 7:00 PM
Who: Erwin Schelbert, Project Group “Changing the Munich Security Conference” e.V.
Topic: “Danger of war for the EU and Germany?”
All just a threat lie or dangerous escalation by Russia?
Are more armaments and new conscription therefore unavoidable?
Three and a half years of war in Ukraine and Russia with increased arms deliveries by the USA and EU countries, especially Germany, military maneuvers by NATO and Russia, drone landings in Poland and Lithuania, discussion about stationing troops in Ukraine from NATO countries up to threats of the use of nuclear weapons, massive armaments of the EU (“Rearm Europe”), gigantic militarization in Germany (“Fit for war”, “Whatever it takes”), stationing of new medium-range missiles and planning the reintroduction of conscription – on which level of the conflict escalation spiral (Friedrich Glasl) are we already, that there is actually a danger of war and therefore shelters must be built and food supplies should be created (“Prepper”, Green Book)? And who is actually threatening whom here? Is there still a chance to reach a peace order in Europe and what would have to be undertaken by the Nobel Peace Prize winner EU (2012) and by Germany?
These and further questions will be clarified and discussed on the basis of the realistic facts, whereby it is also demanded that the Munich Security Conference, if it is really about peace in the world, provides a discussion forum for this, on which different voices from East and West can also be heard.
