Speaking to what this council is about to do in relation to the idea of a "Federal Republic"
Was aber das Gebilde von echter demokratisch legitimierter Staatlichkeit unterscheidet, ist, daß es im Grunde nichts anderes ist als die Organisationsform einer Modalität der Fremdherrschaft; denn die trotz mangelnder voller Freiheit erfolgende Selbstorganisation setzt die Anerkennung der fremden Gewalt als übergeordneter und legitimierter Gewalt voraus.
Translation
[What distinguishes this structure from a truly democratically legitimized state, however, is that it is essentially nothing more than the organizational form of a mode of foreign rule; for self-organization, which takes place despite the absence of full freedom, presupposes the recognition of foreign authority as a superior and legitimate power.]
Meaning .... the Federal Republic of Germany (BundesRepublik) is still just an administrative organization without any legitimacy to act as a people's organization.
It follows, that a peace treaty has to be signed by the German people with the 4 powers:
USA
Russian Federation
UK
France
And of course the other "Allies.
Meaning, the occupation continues, even if it is on the level of optics. In essence, it also means that the EU cannot progress to statehood, as there is a major cog in the wheel: Germany cannot act as a representation of the will of the people under international law.
It seems to me, given the fact that South Korea, Japan and Australia were also among the at the sidelines watching "allies", the real signal seems to be the retreat of a 100.000 man and equipment spanning force to keep these countries save.
The calculus changes the moment the threat to invasion evaporates. Especially when the CCP military cannot execute a large invasion due to lacking fuel. Meaning, there toys are nothing but decoration.
You'd have to solve the German Feindklausel.
