👏👏👏

well said that man! after today's BS between Trump & Putin ... time to go it alone as a European block with Canada, Turkey, Japan, Australia & any other decent countries ... forget the USA people ...

Glad to see Germany back 👍

So true!

Accurately predicting Europe’s future

Thank God this guy is replacing Neville Sholz as Chancellor. Merz gets it and with him, Starmer and Macron we can fight back against the evil empire.

This is incomplete. Please, See Haßelmann‘s reminder of Merz‘ tactics.

Dear Anton, you should also add the speech of Mrs. Hasselmann (GRÜNE), who put Merz‘ tactics in perspective.

Draw your conclusions about how reliable Merz might be - or not.

Thank you

I must admit: One good minute.

However, the proof is in the pudding ...

Merz knows the score..... thank god....

100%. In UK Russia has brought biological and radiological poisons and killed people, run spies, funded right wing parties including the Tories, and Brexit. Why were we so slow to respond.

I wish all European PMs and Presidents were just as clear. In Norway, we have a PM (Jonas Gahr Støre) who still hasn't grasped the seriousness of the situation. He wavers and is completely unclear—a roadblock when it comes to support for Ukraine. The man seems terrified of Putin and Trump.

Trump’s Art of the Deal playbook seems to be: Hand Putin everything he wants, call it “negotiation,” and then distract the media with a hockey tournament. The sad reality?

I like this Herr Merz

⚖️🇺🇦🎯💯🎯🇺🇦⚖️

Dude, this man about to become leader of the free world.

I love when leaders are jacked.

It doesn’t mean everything, but it means something! 💪🏻

Hook it to my veins.

Democratic Germany needs a strong, democratic leader.

Who would have thunk that I'd ever agree with this man?

Trump: “We have a beautiful ocean separating us.” This is the kind of nonsense that even a three-year-old wouldn’t say.

Russia GO HOME 🗣️

Good to hear

Ausgezeichnet! Vielen Dank, Merz!

I like this guy

Trump's phone call with Putin...
"you hang up, no you hang up, after you, no after you, you hang up (silence), are you still there? yes hang up then (silence), okay I'll hang up, go on then, okay, love you..."

This would have been a huge speech even if it had been some random parliamentarian. But this is the future chancellor of Germany. Huge. The glove is thrown.

Sie sind unsere Star Herr Merz

👍

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank God!

Do not let Trump negotiate any deals with putin. Trumps and putin not to be trusted. Canada should be involved with European to negotiate. Ukraine will gat screwed royal

Also note how he points to the AfD contingent of the Bundestag when he mentions the disinformation campaign that some in Germany are a part of.

No need to tell you what I think about it, I've been waiting for 3 years, like you, for these wise words.

We need to get Twitter, Telegram et all off European networks immediately. The poison floods into our democracy through these channels.

Ik zou willen dat we ons in NL zo duidelijk zouden uitspreken, maar onze MP zit aan de halsband.

Coming out very strong against Putin and Trump. Merz also happens to be 100% correct.

#Ukraine

Germany will be back within a European power house!

1 - "Die Umstände werden vor allem von Putins Angriffskrieg gegen Europa bestimmt. Es ist nämlich ein Krieg gegen Europa und nicht nur ein Krieg gegen die territoriale Integrität der Ukraine. Es ist, auch wenn Sie das dort und dort anders sehen, es ist ein Krieg auch gegen unser Land, der ...

DESTROY PUTIN AND MAKE EUROPE SAFE!

Finally. Germany is awake. I think Putin's biggest strategic mistake is that he totally ignores the mood and determination of the Germans.

This is the first burst of real, emotional appeal I've seen from a German chancellor (to be) - long overdue. I get it - emotions and politics in Germany are a fraught combination, but surgically directed, appropriate and logical emotional outpourings like this are necessary to wake people up.

Big words.
Copied from Olaf.
We'll see what he'll DO.

Finally !!

After 25 years of Putin's subterfuge and espionage and murder on foreign soils .. the Europeans have had enough !!

Putin is an ideoligical artifact. He needs to be housed in Civilizations Museum of Failures.

Maybe that's it !!

Immutable ideas must pupate or suffer an agonizing demise.

Hear hear!

Merz is really our new European hope and leader together with Macron

Calling out the Afd like that was

This is excellent. Starmer next please!

Just in time for T-P call 👏

It maddens me no end that so many were and are still blind to this simple, obvious thing. It was obvious from the very start. Ukraine, then Europe.

Big question: Should we call this the "De-merkel-ization" or "De-cuck-ification" of Germany? 😁

Wake the Giant … unprecedented military budget for Germany.

WORD!

ACTION

In other words, "Bring. it. on!!"

Republicans, You took power with lawbreaking, violating our constitution, lying, KGB brainwashing, ignoring rules & policies, being obstructionists & saboteurs, ginning up hate & violence and generally being flaming disrespectful assholes. Hence, we are declaring you & your authority NULL & VOID..

👏👏

This new leadership emerging in Germany must be a welcome sign to Europe and Ukraine. After a long hibernation after the WW2, it is time for this economic giant to shoulder the weight of Europe now facing a new reality of aggression from Putin's Russia.

A new Europe is emerging.

#StandWithUkraine

Even if you see it differently here and there, it is a war against our country that takes place every day, with attacks on our data networks, with the destruction of supply lines, with arson attacks, with contract killings in the middle of our country, with spying on barracks,

🎯💥👊🏼🇩🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺👊🏼💥

We agree with Merz, and it is a very strong message to make Trump and his MAGA irrelevant in Europe and not a solution to the Ukraine war.

Right on spot! Time for democratic countries to fight back! Now Europe has waken up from its sleep!

Absolutely. So get your troops over there and smash Russia

They will be judged by their actions

"It is a war against Europe and not just a war against the territorial integrity of Ukraine"

It still baffles me that there are politicians on the West who STILL believe that Russian aggression on Ukraine is not also aggression on the EU! Some of them are STILL begging Trump (Putin) to save them.

He’s good at sounding impressive but will inevitably fail to deliver.

Why Europeans insist it’s also a war against them and only Ukrainians? Because Sauron and his minions have been explicit in considering them like the real enemy (NATO, EU). It would be foolish to ignore that and what history teaches.

This Churchillian defiance of Putin is impressive. We see it from Kallas, Tusk too.
