Germany is on a steady decline, decisions like this increase the pace.
Why?
Because nobody needs to support their partners! The only thing that counts is OUR country and OUR freedom !!!!
/s
This position is natural, I wouldn't criticize people for that. What people fail to understand is that "OUR" country and "THEIR" country exist on the same globe. "OUR" country will feel consequences too if Russia doesn't lose.
Thats the point. Beimg nationalist is not completly wrong, because you still live in your country.
But I a country just looks for itself, it doesnt blend out all the other countries and the problem they have. Our world is interconnected like in no time before, wd cant just shut our eyes and try to be happy.
And as germany is the biggest economy in Europe, we should be more supportive than economically smaller countries
Ah yes, supporting partners the way US supported Germany by blowing up their gas pipeline.
Was it the US? I though it was zelensky...
Does anybody actually buy that story?
Elaborate please
Germany is now running deficits to support a war that's already been decided. Ukraine is a corrupt country where many weapons given to it find their way onto the international black market. The standard of living in Germany is getting worse. Using deficit spending on a non-productive good like weapons to a foreign country that is corrupt will accelerate Germany's decline.
So you think its better to dont support our partners, and let autocrats take what they want, bc we have bad money management?
The standard of living is declining everywhere on the world. Germany is still havimg it really good. We are just nagging, but we have really much. in my opinion we have to help other countries which have it bad.
If you're going to stop Russia from invading Ukraine why aren't you putting German troops in Ukraine? You're not helping your partner your killing Ukranians to weaken America's enemy. Tell me what the difference between Israel and Russia is and what they're doing to their smaller neighbours is. And then tell me why Germany condemns one atrocity but supports the other. It's not about supporting a partner and I think you're being naive or disingeneous if you think so.
We dont send troops, because it would be an intervemtion of foreign forces, in this situation its NATO forces. I think the rest needs no explanation.
Germany condemns Israels human rights violation PUBLICLY from ministers to chancellors nobody says its good.
And we send support to palestine too so I dont know what you are talking.
Germany doesnt give Israel tanks and weapons. Please enlighten my naiveness and tell me how germany supports one and not the other...
