Merz is a disaster on so many levels ...
- Centrist neolibs like him are the plague of a society. They chafe away at people's hope, doing more for big corporations than for the people, throwing some bones of social benifits. Long run though.. Long run their policies degrade standards of living and erode moral fiber until the desperation creeps in and extremism of any flavour becomes the dominant path.
  Then all act like they didn't see the Spanish Inquisition coming.
  
  He's not a centrist, he's proper right wing.
- Really? First he says all limitations are off the table, and next that Taurus will not be sent.
  
  Good for Ukrainians.
I don't know what Merz got told during his visit to the White House, but boy, has he turned his back on victims of aggressor states since. The US better have video of him on Epstein's Island in full action, because anything less and he's rolling over like a thumbleweed to US interests.
In the following sentence, Merz told all the respect he has for the IDF.
Meanwhile, in Gaza, the IDF starves everybody in a medieval siège, lures people with a little food, watch them fight among them for a few grains of Rice, then bombs them with drones and tanks. Litteraly everyday.
It´s all fine, they got Merz' respect.
I didn't think I could feel more contempt for the German political establishment but here we are.
What the fuck kind of statement is that eh? Fucking hell man
- A prep statement for the next one that will say more or less "look Israel helped us with Iran so they can do what they want in Gaza"
The most charitable interpretation: "These strikes are the only thing preventing the development of Iranian nukes"
You know, ignoring the facts that the only thing saying those are coming very soon is Israel, that there was a meeting planned that was actively sabotaged, and that if Merz is such a big fan of the non proliferation treaty that is so necessary for peace in the region, he should insist Israel go sign it first before worrying about its enforcement in Iran.
What's Germany's plan to secure the EU merchant fleet against Iranian anti-ship missiles, fired by Iranian proxies in Yemen, without help from USA or Israel?
