I said a lot of bad things about Germany in 2022.
But they did a huge leap from offering 5000 helmets (not a joke, it was a real offer) in 2022 to be one of the most important proponents of European defense.
He Is not a pawn in the hands of major powers. He is the major power
If trump listens to this….
Germany is confirmed to be a pawn in the hands of major powers then
As an Englishman with one German and one French grandparent, I truly hope that this year will push us in the direction of truly combining our powers. In the 19th century, we were superpowers on our own. In the 21st, we can only be a superpower if we are together.
Nice.
Now, how about we get some nuclear weapons, plz? Seems like the currently most important omission in Germanys defense architecture.
Only pawns feel the need to say this.
Germany is an occupied vassal state that always does what it is told.
Of course it isn’t a pawn. It’s a knight. Moves slowly and in mysterious ways, can only check, but not mate (without help of other pieces), but still is one of the most powerful figures.
I like Merz and I like his message: fuck you Putin and fuck you Trump. Germany will stand with Europe and we will prevail.
Merz :…….. But I need some f-35 tho
We are no pawns?
What is Ramstein then, I wonder.
I’m sorry to report: you are. You’ve left ur defenses to wither, but hey it was grand for a couple decades.
Narrator: They are

And I mean, not just Germany.
I read somewhere that the real reason the USA tries to accommodate Russia while ignoring Europe is that Russia is a threat while Europe tries very hard to appease.
I wish so much that Europe just fucking woke up.
The fuck you aren’t
pawnhub
Wasn’t German one of the great powers? I just woke up so I couldn’t catch news. What happened?
>“We are not the victims of extraneous circumstances. We are not at the mercy of great powers. Our hands are not tied,“ Merz said
It’s a red flag when you have to tell people directly because they can’t figure it out based on actions.
The Blackrock puppet says it’s not a pawn.
Aye, lmao
Then make unilateral decisions FFS. Trump has had the initiative for a fucking year in military, diplomavy, and trade.
People in this sub often have the illusion that Europe is still powerful, while in reality, Europe is just an insignificant, declining continent compared to the United States (as Mark Rutte said, the United States is Europe’s daddy) and China.
