60 Prominent Germans Appeal Against Another War In Europe: “It Is Not About Putin. What Is At Stake Is Europe” | Zero Hedge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago, as the S&P was preparing to surge on the latest round of\u00a0all time high\u00a0<\/em>market-goosing\u00a0algo trickery<\/a>by the FOMC, 60 prominent German personalities from the realms of politics, economics, culture and the media were less concerned with blinking red and green stock quotes and were focused on something far more serious to the future of the world: the threat of war with Russia.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0letter published by Germany’s Die Zeit<\/a>, numerous famous and respected Germans including a former president and former prime minister write “Wieder Krieg in Europa? Nicht in unserem Namen!”,<\/em>\u00a0or, roughly translated, “War in Europe Again? Not in Our Names!<\/em>“<\/strong><\/p>\n

The open letter to the German government, parliament, and media,\u00a0excerpted here<\/a>, was signed by more than 60 prominent German personalities and published in the weekly Die Zeit on Dec. 5. The initiators were Horst Teltschik (CDU), advisor to then-Chancellor Helmut Kohl at the time German of reunification; Walther St\u00fctzle (SPD), former Secretary of State for the Ministry of Defense; and Antje Vollmer (Greens), former Bundestag Vice President. Teltschik said, in motivating the appeal, \u201cWe are giving a political signal that the justified criticism of Russia\u2019s Ukraine policy should not wipe out all the progress that we have made in the past 25 years in relations with Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Below is an excerpted translation (source<\/a>) of the original letter\u00a0found here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
