A Great Power in Trouble: What's Wrong with Germany? | To The Point
Oct 5, 2023 | What's happening to the world's fourth-largest economy? In contrast to other large industrial nations and in comparison to Europe, Germany’s economy is weakening.
Companies are complaining about poor business conditions, such as high energy prices. There is already talk of creeping de-industrialization, and some economists and politicians believe that Germany is once again, “the sick man of Europe.”
At the same time, right-wing populist attitudes are on the rise, and more people are critical of democracy. Are prosperity and democracy in danger? We are discussing: “A great power in trouble: What's wrong with Germany?”

Pariah Putin: Isolated and Angry? | To the Point
Mar 4, 2022 • Russian forces continue their advance on the Ukrainian capital Kiev and other key cities. The onslaught has had an unexpected side effect: Vladimir Putin’s war is uniting an often-divided world. In New York the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly condemned the brutal onslaught. A slew of companies have closed down operations in Russia or divested themselves of Russian-related holdings elsewhere. With harsh sanctions in place, Joe Biden says Putin is more isolated than ever before.

Ukraine under Attack: Is Europe Powerless against Putin? | To the Point
Feb 24, 2022 • The world looks on as Russian President Vladimir Putin launches a full-scale attack on Ukraine. And now it’s becoming clear that he intends to use his country’s military might in a bid to re-write European history.
The West, meanwhile, has been imposing what have been described as the toughest sanctions ever. But Putin is clearly not impressed.
So, is it time for Europe’s democracies to face up to some new and uncomfortable truths and, perhaps, fight for their future?
On ‘To the Point’, we ask: Ukraine under attack: Is Europe powerless against Putin?

Putin and Xi against the West: Democracy under Pressure? | To the Point
Feb 10, 2022 • Have Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping joined forces against the West?
Certainly, China has been using the Winter Olympics for a massive display of its political and economic might. Russia, meanwhile, continues to flex its muscles in the war of words over the future of Ukraine. Diplomatic efforts to ease the situation are in overdrive, including missions to Moscow and Washington.
So, this time round on TO THE POINT, we ask: Putin and Xi against the West: Democracy under pressure?

Boris's Brexit Boomerang: Is the UK Spiraling into Chaos? | To the Point
Brexit is, and will continue to be, a disaster. BoJo is not qualified for the high position he holds: He doesn’t have any understanding of economics and he is not interested in the hard work that governing entails. Britain is on its way to becoming the ‘Sick Man of Europe’ yet again. We’ve been there before and we had to enter Europe to solve it. BoJo and his silly ideas will only compound the problem. – © Mark

Guests: Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson (KCRW Radio Berlin), Matthew Karnitschnig (Politico), Daniel Hamilton (Johns Hopkins University)
Daniel Hamilton is a professor for Poltical Science at Johns Hopkins University. Currently he is a Robert Bosch-Fellow in Berlin. He says: "Pandemic, recession, systemic racism -- all made worse by Donald Trump. It's a combustible brew."
Matthew Karnitschnig is chief Europe correspondent for „Politico“. His view: „The pandemic is Trump’s Waterloo. The main question now is not if he will lose, but rather by how much.” Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson is program director at KCRW, a Radio station based here in Berlin and affiliated with the US broadcaster NPR. And she says: „Donald Trump’s performance regarding COVID-19 may not matter, because recessions lead to reelection losers.“
