1. It’s completely non-typical for him to express himself in such a euphoric, philosophical way. That’s why I posted it.

2. What is Germany’s game plan here …somebody pls shed a light. Tq

3. In this ten minute interview he said more concrete stuff than in 2 months as chancellor in all his German statements which are always totally meaningless

4. He is absolutely right. Democracy arises because it is the will of the people. The will of the people will always, eventually prevail.

   Therefore authoritarian regimes have limited survivability in the current times. Authoritarian regimes may collapse when leadership vanishes and becomes disrupted and when the people oppose the regime. The chance that it may lead to the end of a political ideology in contrast to democracies is much higher.

5. Meanwhile all intelligences in the west predict a rise of authoritarian regims in the 21st century.

6. Our chancellor is more eloquent in english than in german.
   We truely live in bizzaro world

7. I was low-key expecting he would shout “Russia did nothing wrong!”

   And then run away

   😅
