Whether you agree or disagree with this statement, Merz is usually smart enough not to say something like this about a nation Germany relies on for its defense. One of the worst verbal gaffes I can recall from him.

Whether he meant to say it or not, Germany gains nothing by virtue of him saying it and could potentially lose a US armored division protecting it. Or more, given Trump's temperment.

Europe would just start buying Ukrainian drones to defend themselves instead of Ukraine. Besides, most of the Russian men of military age who want to fight are dead. You don't see the kind of fanatical attacks that Wagner Group made on Bakhmut anymore.

that's trump's fetish. he loves to see girthy persian cock stretch melania out. similarly, he loves seeing the irgc push americans forces to their limits. he loves to hide the results though!

I think this signals that Europe no longer feels it needs to appease Trump. Everyone knows Trump is a vindictive egomaniac. There's no way Merz would mistakenly make that comment.

That's the day-after interpretation from Germany. Merz's poll numbers are rock bottom, and the most reliable cure for that among European politicians has proven to be confronting Trump. Has helped Starmer's poll numbers a good bit. Of course, Trump could pull our troops from Germany in retaliation, but that's apparently a risk Merz is willing to take.

just an INSANE thing to say. iran/hormuz has revealed how reliant european energy is on the pax americana, on how important america is to protecting their way of life. and instead of appreciating it, they lecture us and talk shit about our many deficiencies

Is this a troll? Iran/Hormuz has revealed how vulnerable Europe is to America's erratic policy decisions, and any reasonable country would be looking to seek alternative stable relationships

it could secure reasonably priced oil from the east or the south if not tied to American foreign policy. in fact i believe they spent years building a major new pipeline recently for that purpose that the US helped to blow up.
