The AfD and Transatlantic Tensions
This chapter explores the implications of a provocative speech advocating for the inclusion of Germany's far-right AfD party in politics, and the ensuing unrest among pro-Americans in Germany. It examines the complex interplay of historical context, electoral prospects, and the challenges of safeguarding democracy amid rising populism. The conversation underscores the need for a strong transatlantic alliance and proactive leadership to confront the deteriorating shared values between the U.S. and Europe.
