The Horizon Audiofiles - Ep 066 - Deterrence And The Need For Strategic Culture In Germany

This essay examines Germany's lack of strategic culture and its
implications for deterrence and security policy. Written in the
aftermath of the MSC 2025 and the context of growing geopolitical
instability, it highlights how Europe’s reliance on the United
States, combined with a weak defence mindset, undermines the
ability to deter adversaries. The analysis compares Germany’s
approach to security with that of France, the UK and smaller
European states, demonstrating how strategic autonomy, societal
resilience and military readiness contribute to credible
deterrence. Additionally, it emphasises the need for a more
proactive and engaged public discourse on security matters.
