Germany’s election winner pledges ‘independence from US’
Friedrich Merz says the Trump administration is ‘largely indifferent’ to Europe’s fate
If he means it, it is good. But it can't mean dependence from China or Russia.
Its always what they don't say
Merz has shown that he will say one thing and then do the exact opposite. He is probably already greasing his bald head at this very moment.
My day would have been just fine without that mental image.
Pledges and promises from Friedrich Merz are worth less than pledges and promises from any other politician, this vile character is a serial liar who would sell his own grandmother for a seat at the table and a fistful of dollars.
Merz' word is worthless. Give it time.
It's less than worthless. A dog turd on the sidewalk is worth more than the word of Friedrich Merz. That guy is a pathological opportunistic liar.
Very good. The whole of Europe should endeavor to wean itself from the US' protection racket asap.
You are right, but not with this fucking guy in the driver seat.
Wasn't NATO supposed to offer protection?
If you still haven't noticed, NATO really is mostly an US tool for power projection in Europe and the surrounding areas. It does cosplay as a defensive alliance against Russia, but without the US, there isn't that much to it. Especially as long as the US is a member and can prevent NATO from actually defending against Russia.
