CAVOKGermany’s Merz sits powerless as Trump attacks European allies in Oval Office
FoniAs a Spaniard (the country he threatened) I have to say that this is really disappointing. Not only Germany continues to accept any violation of Israel’s international law and no longer has the courage to tell the USA what it told it during the Iraq war. Now they don’t even want to plant him towards abuse by threatening a friend. I expected much more from Germany
EtnapheleWords have less and less relevance in this political chaos driven by the US: in a week the Trumpet will sing praise of Spain, then again criticize it. Merz is a hollow man, but it’s a moot point to argue in the White House. Let facts speak (I’m not saying facts will draw a better picture, unfortunately, just look at where money and contracts go and not what farts these lowly men exchange in their high thrones)
You might be right—confronting Trump there might have only made things worse—but the image of Trump attacking Spain while the German Chancellor stays silent in the room is damning. I expected more from a man who, at least on paper, keeps talking about strengthening European unity. Is it only to protect the east from Russia? The rest of us can get lost?
I despise this German government and was let down by the previous one. In a time when Spain shows courage and stands by sane principles on the international field, other EU countries “average out” the blocks diplomacy to a middling damage reduction at all costs (which actual costs in the long run are to be seen…). As said, what comes out of their mouth is just distraction: facts show what they are really accomplishing (or not).
trollercoasterGerman politicians will never let an opportunity to disappoint and betray pass unused. They haven’t for decades, and they are very good at it.
