This is why people turn into tankies

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.
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?
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.
You know what the center positions are?
Social democrats and reform democratic socialists.
From a Ukrainian point of view he’s better than Scholtz.
Really? First he says all limitations are off the table, and next that Taurus will not be sent.
First he says all limitations are off the table
Tbf, he did not.
One of the many failings of Merz is, that he is a terrible communicator.
What he said was: “All range restrictions have been lifted”, which was understood by most to be the announcement of a new policy change.
But actually he was just referring to something that had already happened half a year earlier under Scholz.His defenders will point out, that what he said was factually true and that he did not announce anything new. But once again, Merz seems incapable of considering the context under which such questions are asked and how his words would be interpreted.
Scholtz said no right from the start.
And saying no later is better because … ?
Because there is a chance that Mertz actually considered doing something, but something went wrong (Trump, probably).
He formed a coalition with Scholz’s party after the election to become chancellor. That’s what went “wrong.” But he said “no limitations” AFTER forming this coalition, knowing full well that Taurus will never be sent as long as he needs the SPD (Scholz’s party) to stay in power.
Merz or Scholtz… It’s absolutely heartbreaking that more is not being done to bring justice to the Ukranian people. Help should be delivered and should have been for a long time.
Instead it’s this constant geopolitcal dance from weak people in power
Good for Ukrainians.
I didn’t think I could feel more contempt for the German political establishment but here we are.
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.
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 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”
