More of it, translated:

"In the current phase of "war preparation," the ranks between government, military, and media appear to be closing even more tightly in order to further fuel the speed and intensity of militarization in this country—and to encourage each other in the process. The incumbent (and probably "new") Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) is quoted in the most widely used German news medium, the ARD "Tagesschau," when announcing the next German arms delivery to the Ukrainian army: "We are at the beginning of a new era, and we will have to prove ourselves in the coming years (...). It depends on whether we succeed in becoming capable of deterrence and defense—and in doing so as a united front and in a correspondingly short time." If the media, especially leading media, took their public duty of monitoring and criticizing those in power seriously, journalistic inquiry would be necessary here: Such statements are apparently intended to create a certain mood (fear, enemy image, guilt), but are at the same time at least contradictory: If Germany had not long ago and to a considerable extent If Russia were "capable of deterrence and defense," and if Putin were as aggressive as many political, military, and media figures claim here—why hasn't a corresponding attack against NATO territory, against Germany, happened long ago? And if the aggression isn't happening now—why should it happen later, if Germany would then be more "war-ready" than it is today?"
