“A world where only power matters is a dangerous place. First for small states, then for the middle powers, and ultimately for the great ones. I do not say this lightly. In the 20th century, my country Germany went down this road to its bitter end. It pulled the world into a black abyss.”
Not great, not terrible. Won’t go down as historic speech.
He won’t go down as a notable chancellor either, that’s for sure.
Looking at what is currently happening, he probably will. For better or worse, he is one of the most powerful men in Europe and right now especially the EU has to make some big decisions, which will likely have consequences decades from now. Hell Chamberlain went down in history too.
“How would I be remembered in history?”
“You won’t.”
Oh he will. Just not his speeches
For being the most spineless German chancellor in history, I guess.
No. That was Scholz. But for being the first chancler to actively help the nazis come to power again AND needing two attempts to be voted into chanclery
Merz - Gaza genocide enabler.
As he said:
,Israel does the dirty work for us (the right wing)“.
His grandfather was a Nazi, member of the NSDAP and SA.
Guess why Merz is proud of his grandfather.
People who don’t have 4 German grandparents don’t fit into his cityscape.
Netanyahu and his military cleanse it for him.
The CDU/CSU are so Christian, they would deport Jesus.
