Warmongering Suddenly at an End – A Cable Fire, a Blackout – and the End of German War FantasiesA single arson attack on a Berlin cable bridge was enough to cut off tens of thousands of households from electricity, heating, and normal life for days. In the middle of winter. In the capital. In a country whose political leadership has been talking for months about wanting to become "war-ready." What is now happening in Berlin is more than a local infrastructure problem. It is a political revelation. 
Because while politicians fantasize on talk shows about deterrence, arms deliveries, and geopolitical strength, the state fails in a real crisis over something as mundane as a few destroyed power cables. Days go by while authorities explain why everything is so complicated, why patience is needed, why it simply takes time. That may all be technically correct – politically, it is a declaration of failure. If a single act of sabotage is enough to paralyze large parts of a metropolis, this is not an accident; it is structural failure. Ironically, this lesson comes precisely from a left-wing extremist group that has claimed responsibility for the act. Of course, this attack is criminal, dangerous, and must be condemned. But it exposes something that the federal government is desperately trying to suppress: Germany is not even remotely prepared for serious attacks on its critical infrastructure. Not for sabotage. Not for coordinated terror. And certainly not for a military conflict with a heavily armed state. One does not need to be a military strategist to understand what this means. If repairs at a single, known point of damage take several days, what would the situation look like after coordinated drone attacks on substations, cable lines, or data centers? Hours of crisis management would seamlessly turn into days-long blackouts, days would become weeks, and outages would bring societal paralysis. Anyone who believes such a country can be "war-ready" is confusing political rhetoric with reality. In this light, the current grandiose foreign policy stance appears almost grotesque. While emergency generators are still humming in Berlin and authorities struggle to limit the damage, at the federal level, Germany is portrayed as a stable pillar of military deterrence. One can easily imagine how such conditions are perceived in Moscow. Not with fear, but with mockery. A country that cannot promptly repair its own power grid after an attack wants to play a geopolitical role? The Russians are probably laughing themselves to sleep. Cynical as it sounds: this attack acts like an involuntary peace demonstration. Not because the perpetrators did anything good, but because they brutally reveal to politicians how illusory their war rhetoric is. Perhaps this reality will ensure that in Berlin, people speak a little more quietly about escalation and a little more loudly about resilience, redundancy, and the actual state of the country. If a damaged cable is enough to put a major city into a state of emergency, restraint is not cowardice, but reason. And perhaps that is the only positive lesson from this disaster: Germany is currently unable to wage a war – and should therefore do everything possible not to provoke one.
