I reckon Trump thinks the AfD & CDU/CSU are the same thing
Merz still needs to form a coalition, which is technically possible with the AfD at this stage.
However thereâs no chance that Trump comprehends this, let alone understands how the German electoral processes work.
Merz has ruled out a coalition with Afd, looks like SPD, possibly Greens. Far left Die Linke performed very well. Business as usual in the relatively grown up country of Germany, but the hobgoblins of fascism are making themselves visible in a big way. Donât have to hide anymore is the universal message.
WHAT A GREAT DAY, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF ME, THE KING
Doubled their vote share, most popular among those under 25, and won Berlin.
Great result
Merz: âAbsolutely no illusionsâ about Trump. Goal needs to be step by step independence from a US who âpretty much no longer cares about fate of Europeâ
âUnclear whether we will still speak of NATO in present shapeâ by time of June summit or we need to come up with European alternative.
âLook at these recent interventions into Germany by a Mr Elon Musk. Interventions from DC no less dramatic, drastic & brazen than those from Moscow. We are massively under pressure from two sidesâ
Merz: âAbsolute priority needs to be European unityâ in the face of these challenges. Says he had never thought heâd have to say these things about the US
Donnie might be the most geopolitically inept leader since Chamberlain
New leader of Germany, Merz in his first words makes the situation very clear. Merz hero is Reagan as a conservative. One thing Reagan had as his core message was democracy for the globe. So even though conservative centrist party won⌠Germany will be very much coming from a united Europe for anyone not wanting democracy. Its why Merz slammed Vance comments in his country and has heavily criticised and distanced himself from Trump. They are opposites when it comes to dictatorship and power grabs
Important win for the globe
Please overlay East/West Germany borders?
the way musk is attacking the PS in the states , this must be causing enormous stress and anxiety .
there might be a lot of desperate people who might feel like they will be on the brink of they lose their job with no notice
on a side note, there are a lot of guns in America
He prefers âa gentleman named Donald J Trumpâ.
Leave out poor old Neville. At least he didnât actively destabilise people opposing Hitler.
East is blue and west is black
âA GENTLEMAN NAMED DONALD J. TRUMP.â
Interesting to see the measles outbreak in Texas expanding , and the CDC more or less paralysed by the new administration edicts.
Itâs a good thing no one was dumb enough to put an idiot vaccine sceptic in charge of the health system.
Donât be an idiot. Three days is hardly enough time to persuade the hardline right wingers to surrender, rather than turn against the softer faction in government or to perform seppuku.
oh â â â â SAJ?
we are so back
This strong message about a united Europe to tackle Russia and potentially new missles is fantastic news. Now distribute the frozen $300bn to Ukraine and tell Putin to GAGF.
