‘We will soon be next’: German leaders sound alarm on Trump’s Ukraine plan
-
German political leaders have reacted with alarm to U.S. President Donald Trump’s bombshell announcement that his administration will conduct peace negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the head of European leaders.
“To be clear, peace must last over the long term. It must secure Ukraine’s sovereignty,” said German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Thursday. “That is why we will never support a dictated peace. Nor will we accept any solution that leads to a decoupling of European and American security. Only one person would benefit from that. President Putin.”
Scholz, whose Social Democratic Party (SPD) is in third place according to polls ahead of a Feb. 23 national election, called for more spending on Germany’s defense and military aid for Ukraine, and urged conservatives to relax the country’s strict spending rules — a theme he has touched on repeatedly during the election campaign — in order to do so.

Yeah idk how this is being taken so tamely by fucking everyone. It’s insane.

This time Germany may need to save the world from America. Please don’t fall like we did.

Any chance yall can turn back on your reactors so you can actually be energy independent again?
We've got tons of uranium over in Canada and you're welcome to it.
-
And that's why you didn't want to provide tanks, opposed strikes into russia and didn't provide Taurus missiles.
-
Yeah man. That's always been Trump's deal. Those of us warning against him are left with nothing to say but "we told you so" and to ask "hey you got any of those civil liberties? We'd like some please"
-
Does Trump want the Sudetenland?
-
Everyone is calm because any analyst worth the name should have seen this coming since November, and its far too late to stop at this point.
I dont know why Europe didnt start rearming eight years ago, but now they are going to suffer for that oversight.
-
We don't need to.
But nice try.
-
Because we can't do anything about it.
Europe needs to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. You need to stop this now.
-
Can't wait to see whether we'll get the corrupt clown again as the next chancellor or the other corrupt clown who hates foreigners.
Or maybe even the lesbian clown who hates foreigners and thinks women belong in the kitchen.
Such visionaries. So inspiring. So smart.
And yes, that is why. The corrupt clown thinks not poking the bear will appease him.
-
Europe won't though, since they expect US/UK/AUS to do all the military heavy lifting and always have.
-
Literal propaganda
-
Germany does not need reactors to be independent. Where did you get this weird information from.
-
Turning the existing reactors back on is not an option anymore, they are already being dismantled. Building new ones would not be worth it when investing in renewables is cheaper
-
Because eight years ago nobody really cared about russia.
-
The lesbian clown would also rather deliver tanks to russia than to ukraine.
-
Because nobody believes it can actually happen. 70 years of continuous peace makes people complacent. Which is good in itself, but when shit hits the fan we just sit back and expect it to blow over.
-
When did European leaders ever say that the US should put boots on the ground in Ukraine?

From Swedes that are paying noticeably higher energy prices because the German grid went from a net exporter to a mixed grid that can have a surplus when winds are high but usually needs to burn gas that's imported indirectly from Russia when it's low driving up energy prices in nearby regions.
Germans love to talk about how they never needed Nuclear power and there seems to be an irrational hatred of an incredibly clean form of power but it's clearly a problem:
