Former German Foreign Minister Questions NATO's Survival: Why Was the

In an interview with DER SPIEGEL magazine, Joschka Fischer firmly defends his 1999 decision to intervene militarily against the regime of Slobodan Milošević, describing it as a historical necessity to prevent a new genocide on European soil.

Former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer gave a lengthy interview to the German magazine DER SPIEGEL.

Fischer displays deep skepticism about the future of the geopolitical order, questioning NATO's survival as a transatlantic alliance under the influence of Donald Trump.

Fischer describes the American president as a deeply unsympathetic figure and argues that his policy towards Iran has failed, further empowering radical elements in Tehran.

According to him, trust in the US as a defensive power has been irreparably broken and Europe can no longer rely on security coming from across the Atlantic, regardless of who may be in the White House in the future.

This new situation forces Germany and Europe to radically review their military power, including strengthening conventional capabilities and opening the inevitable debate on a European nuclear alternative in cooperation with France and Great Britain.

Fischer devotes the most emotional part of the interview to the Kosovo issue, which he considers the turning point that changed Germany's military role after World War II.

He staunchly defends his 1999 decision to intervene militarily against the regime of Slobodan Milosevic, describing it as a historical necessity to prevent a new genocide on European soil.

Fischer explains that the bitter experience of the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia was the decisive factor that made him realize that diplomacy was not enough in the face of a ferocious nationalism that was ready for mass terror and systematic murder.

He emphasizes that if the Milosevic regime were allowed to implement its agenda in Kosovo, not only would the Albanian population be exterminated, but the idea of ​​a united Europe and the enlargement process in the Balkans would be destroyed forever.

Although criticized at the time, even within his own party, Fischer insists that the comparison to the horrors of Nazism was fair in the context of preventing a crime against humanity.

He admits that it took him time to understand the true nature of the conflict, but denies that he was hasty, stating that the mass expulsions and Serbian violence in Kosovo were an undeniable reality that required an immediate military response.

As for Russia, Fischer admits that the West harbored illusions of a lasting peace after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but adds that he personally never trusted Vladimir Putin. He recalls that the brutality of the war in Chechnya and Putin's harsh response to the Orange Revolution in Ukraine were clear signals of the looming danger.

Today, he sees with satisfaction the fact that the Green Party has maintained a realistic course and solidarity with Ukraine, moving away from dogmatic pacifism.

At the end of the conversation, Fischer leaves a clear message for his nation: Germany must grow within the European framework and take on military responsibility, without falling into the trap of nationalism, but becoming the defensive pillar of a continent that must now learn to walk without America's help.
