Either the correlation of Germany's political institutions to Silicon Valley is so obvious it needs no further elaboration or this is sloppy journalism. Aside from this statement I can't derive the intent of the author's analogy. "When it comes to politics and political institutions, Germany’s record since the end of World War II as an innovator is virtually without parallel, akin to the role of Silicon Valley in tech.... If Germany will now be more proactive in NATO, and ponder what kind of innovation might be required to save the day, that sounds to me like Silicon Valley working on a new tech product." Sounds like to me the author tried to stitch together some clickbaity concepts: Germany/Innovation/SV.
