  1. I know he’s probably just posturing, because it’s a good way to contrast himself with Scholz, but I am huffing that hopium…

  2. Don’t believe him. He can change his stance faster than you can think. He’s doing everything to get the power even if it needs a destroyed Germany.

  3. He is of that opinion up until opinium polls (especially in eastern germany) say otherwise.

  4. We have elections next month in Germany so most things said by the chancellor candidates should be taken with a grain of salt for the next weeks.

    …if not in general and not just in times of election…

  9. If his face is in the news for big political subjects, he is happy. That is all.

  10. This is only possible by sending troops. You can’t say you want something while opposing the only way to do it.

  11. The only candidate for chancellorship in Germany I‘d actually trust to support Ukraine by whatever means necessary is Habeck. His party actually proposing policies based on scientific data is also something that is sadly rarely found these days, with all to many making promises they could never keep and proposing populist policies that are known to be harmful in the long term.

  12. “Must” is one thing.

    Sending young Germans to fight to achieve it is quite a different matter.

    All politicians are happy rattling swords but not so happy wielding one.

    If he feels strongly about it he can join the International brigade.

  14. Easy to talk big when you’re not in power. Will Merz supply Taurus to Ukraine if he gets into power?

  15. i don’t understand this guy… not at all. first the “Brandmauer”, then he wants to close the borders with the help of the AfD, which wants russia to win… what now, Herr Merz?

  17. And at this point it can only be achieved with boots on the ground. UA is exhausted and i fear unwilling to fight any longer.

    They fought like lions tho. I hope Putin dies soon so he cant see any gains. The prick.

  18. And I want a pony. Are we just wishing for things now? Or is he going to commit German troops to this goal?

  22. Soon Scholz will be ousted and Merz is taking the seat. However I do think Merz is quite sneaky and unpredictable.

  23. Fuck him 1000 times, but he’s absolutely right. Ukraine must win this war.

  24. Vote for this man. Or the greens. Whoever has the best chance to win your riding.

  26. Merz will be the next Chancellor, and we will watch Germany self-destruct even faster than now.

  27. i wish them the very best but this is not happening. unless you want to start a ww3 with NATO troops going there. just being objective. the best time for signing a peace treaty has sadly passed and ukraine fooled by USA promises went on fighting a losing war.

  28. Ukraine is fighting a barbarian horse on EU doorstep. Of course we need to help it to defend.

    If Ukraine cannot get all it’s land it needs to be able to defend itself Russia otherwise thia madnesses can spread to Baltics, Poland, Finland, Moldova and Romania and eventually destabilize the entire European and world order.

    I don’t like where it is going at the moment and hopefully Germans who are the backbone of EU can understand that very well.

  29. You have to hit them where it hurts. As longest Russia has money it will continue to subvert Europe and other countries. Either cut the head of the snake off or keep trying to just cure yourself from the bites. But eventually it will kill you.
