Germany’s Next Chancellor Merz Ready to Supply Taurus Missiles to Ukraine

I specifically made sure to word my comment so that Merz is just someone who would be thrown out, not the first one. Because shockingly, even now there are dozens of people I'd rather not have in politics.

Yeah, he and his party have steadily talked about delivering Taurus, to then initiated votes in parliament that did get much less yes votes in total then just Merz' party alone had. He talked loudly about how he would totally send Taurus if he had to decide. Now he has to decide so he moved to goalposts to "Europeans need to decide it". And he will continue like this.

He was also very steady on the absolute non-negotiability of Germany's debt brake for years and through the last election campaign... until he negotiated the biggest debt package in Germany's history days after the election, then pushed it through with the still existing old parliament (and with the exact same parties he refused to even discuss this for years) as he doesn't have the majority in the new parliament.

Speaking of the new parliament... with right-wing morons now the second biggest party because Merz spend years parroting their talking points. All while steadily rejecting the idea to ever work with them. Until he tried to push an anti-immigration package through with their votes just two weeks before the election. Then he turned around and pretended that he did not cooperate with them as he would obviously never do this... oh and the 100 thousands of protesters spontaneously taking to the streets all over the country because of that massive breach of his word and the historical precedence of voting through legislation with the far right were called insane lefties and paid actors (also insinuating that they should not ahve their consitutional right to protest).

In short: Merz lies when he opens his mouth. He's basically what you get when you order Trump on Wish (not coincidently his inner circle spend a lot of time in the last years forging good connections to MAGA morons, learning from them how to campaign on culture war bullshit and lies... also in a similar vein those same people are -now that speaking too favorable about Trump would cost them votes for now- already advocating a normalisation of that other group of Putin puppets, the far-right AfD).

More or less, but he's been dithering in much the same way that Scholz did, albeit accompanied by harsher rhetoric v/ Russia:

“This must be jointly agreed. And if it is agreed, then Germany should take part,” he added.

However, so far, Merz just needed to voice contrarian viewpoints. He needs to come up with own ideas now.

He has also been fairly steady on the topic of new goverment dept, would you like to take a wild guess what he did right after the election?

No. It is not. Ukrainian proletarians kill Russian proletarians and the other way around. Surely, Russia invaded the Ukraine. And they target civilian infrastructure. However, the EU has an interest in the war continuing to justify armament and to export capital to the Ukrain. That is why the EU countries did not do anything when China and Brasil wanted to stop the war by diplomacy. And that is the only way: China needs to perusade Russia into ending the war. If there really was a moral reason to help the Ukraine defend itself than the same would be applied to Palastine whoever somehow here the one g3n0c1ding is aided.

True, they would make so much money if China does not trade with them... But diplomacy does not work, right? That's why we don't try it and it is not us or rather our proletariat that is sacrificed to protect our capital interest and a nation freed from Russia by Nazis using the slogan by the fascists. And yes China is interested, which is why they initiated talkes, but the "peacekeeping west" ignored.
