We are on the way to the fifth general European war in less than 400 years. And we are not sleepwalking. We are running towards disaster with our eyes wide open, seeingly, willingly, ambitiously, to be the next to jump into the abyss—like the Ukrainians. How can we explain this trans-European death-wish? Today I discuss the European war mentality with Mr. Patrik Baab, one of Germany's most important journalists and intellectuals, who has been publicly dealing with the issue of the Ukraine conflict as well as the role of the media in it for years. Patrik Baab is the author of the Spiegel bestseller “On Both Sides of the Front” (), in which he reports on his experiences traveling in the Donbas, and he was also an editor for Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) for many years, as well as a lecturer at two universities in Germany. His latest book is called “Propaganda Press, How Media and Paid Writers Drive Us to War” (). Follow Mr. Baab here:
