The country’s most popular politician frightens the Germans: Defense Minister Boris Pistorius calls for “war-readiness.” How it came to this.
Probably only he could allow himself to use that word. Boris Pistorius – the defense minister that Germany almost never got. The politically sure-footed successor to a stumbling predecessor. Got in late, got up in no time. Pistorius said Germany must become “war-ready”. Before that, he was the most popular politician in the country. Still after that.
“Warworthy”. The word alone conjures up images of death and destruction, and for the elderly, fears and memories. For the younger ones, it brings the possibility of the misery you see on TV every night into real life. “Warworthy” – why does he say something like that?
