@Sunshine he already backpaddled. He will not send them.

Wow. The same “we’ll easily end this war” bullshit that Trump is spewing. That didn’t take long.
When this moron takes over (and he will), it’s gonna get real bad.
Please.
Don’t get your hopes up. Merz would sell his own mother if it raised his chances of getting elected. He’s just listening to what’s unpopular about the current government and claiming to do whatever is the exact opposite. A lot of it is just hot air from yet another populist.
I expect him to continue support for Ukraine though, so that’s good at least.
Hell, I’m in support of Merz selling his own mother if it means more support for Ukraine.
… I may be in a dark place right now.
Plot twist: his mom is the youth sweetheart of Putin from his vacations in East Germany, the break up is what turned him into a violent autocrat, her return could heal his little broken heart and make him the tsar of love and harmony.
Space opera material
without the space
or opera
immaterial then, but space opera nonetheless.
Finally some leadership. Biden has been slow walking aid this entire war, to Russia’s benefit.
Let’s see how big on words he is once he’s out of opposition. Either way his leadership comes at the cost of him being a 90s style neo libertarian with his own private plane. Other than that he is conservative through and through.
So (I) expect no big investments into health care, education, green technology or public transport but more in tax cuts for the wealthy and investments into “new and revolutionary technologies that will solve all our problems for sure bro” and individual transport infrastructure (which tbh would actually be needed since the German infrastructure is in a pretty bad state with a lot of highway bridges being at the end of their life cycle but on the other hand schools and healthcare are in dire need of investments too). And for all the problems we just blame migrants and strengthen right wing populist positions.
Soo yeah, not really happy with him, not really happy with anyone else atm.
ah, wasnt aware he was a conservative. Thats unfortunate. Lately it seems like all the conservatives are paid off by Putin-- this one seems to have not gotten his check.
Germans actually have a great ideological variety to choose from:
Pro West right wing conservatives
Anti West right wing conservative fascists
Pro West right wing progressives
Pro West left wing progressive social democrats
Pro West left wing progressive greens
Neutral but more anti west leaning left wing progressives (I think they are pro EU but anti NATO and anti war)
Anti West left wing conservative putin dickriders
Too bad they are either unsympathetic or have proven to be incompetent.
