  Why?

    It wasn't really in the news here in Germany. But I think it's a great step towards a more unified Europe.

    Because you dont get to know about that inside germany while reading or watching news...

  Note that Foreign Policy is a niche publication. If you would follow similar German sites you would have noticed. Regular news hasn't reported much (it's a very slow moving process, not so ideal for a news website) but it's mentioned occasionally, e.g. the FAZ had a very similar article a few months ago. But you are right, a regular citizen with no particular interest in that field would almost surely never have heard about it.

    What sides beside FAZ would you suggest for daily reading to get to know that topics?
    • germanier 9y ago
      At FAZ I would follow the author Johannes Leithäuser. A few other suggestions would be the publictions of Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik, Gesellschaft für Sicherheitspolitik, IPG Journal, the newsletter Sicherheitspolitische Presseschau, and the blog Augen Geradaus. But all those are pretty specialized. Unfortunately I don't know any mainstream source where one would have noticed this story. There are also some interesting political science journals but I don't follow any. If I could only add one thing to my daily reading list it would be that mentioned newsletter. And of course I would read the Bundeswehr Weißbuch.
