Government report estimates 28,000 of Alternative for Germany's 70,000 members have potential for right-wing extremism, as far-right party outstrips chancellor's in national polls
And that is precisely why its neighbors should view Germany’s rearmament with suspicion.
I don’t know if this was your intention, but “with suspicion” reads like "it’s being done for the AfD rather than “with concern” which would be read like not for the AfD but with potential effect/gain for the AfD.
At least I read it like that.
If the AfD remains this popular, it is more likely that the German armed forces will be used in the near future to help Russia than to defend Europe against a new Russian invasion.
Or the future French armed forces under their extreme right-wing party. Also the extreme extreme right wing in Poland (Konfederacja) would help Russia. Trust nobody.
As for the French, it may well be true that the RN is capable of winning the next elections, yes. But Poland’s Konfederacja is still far from attaining power.
Yes, after the Germans and the Russians, they are the ones with a track record of causing severe damage across vast areas of the European continent in the relatively recent past.
The last major war Portugal had to fight defensively on its own soil was during the Napoleonic invasions. We have not forgotten.
Indeed, it is France we need to watch out for. AfD and Konfederacja are both far from attaining power. AfD and Konfederacja will never have a majority or is unlikely find coalition partners.
Because CDU will continue trying to win over voters further to the right, and to that end, they will tend to keep adopting positions further to the right until they become increasingly indistinguishable from the far-right.
It is known. That is why 30% of the German people want them in power. Old habits.

Same for the French, Swedish, Polish people. Their neighbors should treat their armament with great suspicion.

Old French habits then?

CDU will welcome AfD with open arms as soon as they secure a minority majority, just as their predecessors did.
Why are the so likely to do that? I’m not am expert.

and thats why russia supports them, old habbits. I mean they can reuse their old maps to split eastern europe
