Force for good? They’ve achieved economic imperialism via treaty and beggar-thy-neighbor in the European Union, their economy is the “social market economy” (which they regard as the enemy of the free market), and people think that if they re-militarize they will be a “force for good”. Curious POV.
Perhaps it is a curious POV, but given what we could become on the path our current leader has set, almost any counterweight is a good thing. I'm okay with economic imperialism if it helps decent people to resist socialism and communism.
