How to start a war with Russia in these easy steps: Just ask Merz’s Germany
RTJUN 2
Germany is taking the lead in defending Europe. Russia’s aggression in Ukraine shows that peace cannot be taken for granted. With the U.S. now a less reliable security partner, Berlin must build the strongest army in Europe, bolster NATO, encourage further action by its continental neighbours, and show Moscow that any further expansionism will be met with strength, unity, and resolve.
Germany’s continued support for escalating conflict serves neither peace nor its own interests. Decades of diplomacy with Russia is being replaced by militarism and blind loyalty to Washington. This path harms Europe’s security, economy, and sovereignty. It’s time for Berlin to prioritize peace, dialogue, and an independent foreign policy instead of fear mongering and hostility.
