As weird as this sounds, I would hope that is the reason because it would mean Germany acts for understandable reasons. However, my discussions with other Germans and broader public sentiment suggest to me that Germans are insanely pacifistic. Even things like sending troops to stabilize a region when asked by the respective country are seen as critical by many. https://twitter.com/RikeFranke a German IR researcher/pundit seems to share my belief. Maybe you should check out her twitter.

That’s interesting, and if true a very disappointing and convenient delusion. Thanks!
