“At some point, Ukraine will sign a ceasefire agreement; at some point, hopefully, a peace treaty with Russia. Then it may ​be that part of Ukraine’s territory is no longer Ukrainian,” Merz ​told students at the Carolus-Magnus-Gymnasium in Marsberg, a town in ⁠North Rhine-Westphalia, on Monday.

    Merz was specifically bred and educated by the german conservative upper class to represent the wants and wishes of his rich associates.

    And I absolutely do mean it exactly like that. The guy joined the party as a student back in highschool and had the party’s Konrad Adenauer Stiftung pay for his university education. He has never known anything outside of his rich conservative background, flush with networking and the insider relationships of his coterie. All he ever achieved, he did through people who helped him up in the anticipation of him paying them back with taxpayer money or getting them cushy corporate jobs, like his when he was the chairman of the supervisory board of BlackRock Germany where he worked two days per week and received a six-figure salary for it.

      Kind of reminds me of how people breed and raise show dogs… and not in a good, normal well adjusted way.

      Indeed, he is the personified will of the US and German industrial interests.

      Nothing he does is his own agenda and he is paid enough to not care.

        Not even industrial interests, but the interests of the financial “industry” that does fuck all for the actual economy, because it contents itself with increasing rich people’s yacht money.
