The ECA once again provides an indication of the consequences of geostrategic motivated military operations, such as the aggression over Kosovo. To vanquish its enemy, Germany has regularly cooperated with forces, which were powerful enough to win wars, but whose social qualities are diametrically opposed to a humane development in the region targeted by German interventions. This had been the case in Afghanistan in the 1980s when, within the framework of the western alliance, the Federal Republic of Germany helped support the Afghan Mujahedeen fighting pro-Soviet forces in Kabul and the Soviet army. The consequences are well known. Cooperation with the KLA, which, together with NATO, was strong enough to tear Kosovo away from Yugoslavia, has ultimately led to the rule of Mafiosi clans, provoking complaints now from the ECA. A similar outcome can be expected from Berlin's current cooperation with Afghan warlords to maintain control at the Hindu Kush, (
german-foreign-policy.com reported,[6]) or in Syria, where Islamist militia are fighting on the side of the West.[7] This brutalization of social relations corresponds to the logic of warfare, in as much as, not the most humane, but the most barbaric forces are the more promising allies, who, in the long run, become the most influential forces shaping the future.
