It is in Germany’s security interest to keep Russian as a mayor military power as far away as possible

In times of Hypersonic missiles, ICBMs and fast transport aircraft distance is not a good shield. Germany must be able to defend itself, and it must reach that point FAST. I, personally, would not put too much trust in any ally willing to fight for germany - in this way i absolutely agree with de Gaulle who wanted a France that can stand up for itself - we need this for germany. Okay, it may be advantageous to let the Ukrainians bleed Russia a bit, but this is no guarantee for our national security.

It is also in Germany’s interest to build a rules based international order, where wars of aggression are punished

The “rules based international order” is dead since Bush invaded Iraq. We are now back in a situation more reminiscent to the time before the first world war, where shaky international support treaties and the age old concept of “might makes right” defines who rules what part of the world. We may not like it, but it is a fact… the faster we accept that, the better.

Why? Teslas are quiet the fine cars… ok, the CEO is a moron, but nevertheless…

Why should Merz stand in for Ukraine? He should stand in for Germany first, the EU second and anybody other than that a far distant third.

Dear Sir,

please regard my humble suggestion to fornicate with a skunk.

Do i say otherwise Yank?

Easy, just arm them to the teeth.

Or pull out entirely and prepare the remaining NATO for what it was founded: Protecting NATO territory, not engaging in this bullshit in ukraine.

I have this little pet theory:

What if the memory is simply overwritten? A toddler, having not much experienced much in life may remember some stuff but as soon as new memories are formed the “old” memories are overwritten…

I mean, it at least would explain why my 2 year old has recently run an eerily convincing musket drill and bayonett charge with a stick while i am pretty sure he never has seen something like that on TV…

Fuck Hamas

The nuclear arsenal and perhaps just a few conventional balistic missiles targeted at major population centers of the guest country are usually enough to guarantee the safety of politicians of major military powers.
