A report I read this morning on the German story is that it is against the law in Germany to go to war without approval of the Bundestag and even then only if the UN support a military intervention. Neither will happen (Russia and China will object to any proposal in the UN) and while there are some in Germany who would support this mooted move, apparently there are not nearly enough of them to win a vote.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
