Now it might be too late as Ukraine ran out of soldiers due to insufficient military aid. But had we equipped them sooner they might have brought themselves into a much better position for negotiations. Why are you trying to impose an ideology onto me? Never said anything about migrants/ps. 1/2 - ThreadSky

True, you didn’t mention that. My point was about parties like the CDU, parts of the Greens, and FDP, which strongly push for more weapons but ironically neglect Ukrainians’ needs here revealing, in my view, the economic "Lobby" motives behind their advocacy.

So parties supporting Ukraine are just lobbying for the military complex? That is a bit one-sided don't you think? Especially since we also have BSW that is directly reiterating Kreml Propaganda and the current head of SPD also seems very keen on cozying up to Putin.

That’s not a conspiracy, it’s a fact that the parties I mentioned, with interests in military supplies, are deeply tied to the military sector. This isn’t a generalization, as you suggest, but a glaring truth. Especially when weapons are used to gain voters we need to consider their various motives

Of course it is a conspiracy when you say that parties in support of Ukraine are just pushing lobby agenda, Jesus. So you are against weapon delivery to Ukraine?

I didn’t generalize in my last tweet. I was very clear on that. I wasn’t against delivering weapons initially, but now I’d rather focus on offering Ukrainians a chance for a peaceful life in EU countries than prolonging years of war. Something impossible with any coalition with the CDU. 1/2

This isn’t because I think Russia is right, but because I don’t want more people to die. As a pacifist, I’d always prefer leaving a territory to save the lives of myself and my family. I understand that I can’t expect Ukrainians to share this personal belief. 2/2

it just sickens me that western security guarantees apparently are worthless and that we somehow "escalate" things. F* that narrative, its just cowardice paired with hypocrisy. And Scholz patting his own back every opportunity for the measly support we give is so tiring and embarrassing. 2/2
