Understatement of the year, At'!
Merz is the most dangerous leader of the western world right now. Total nutter. If Ukraine uses German Taurus missiles to attack Russia - then Putin will regard this as a declaration of war (by Germany) and will respond. Merz and the Germans think they can get away with it because they believe, erroneously, that Russia won't attack them because it will invoke Article 5 of the NATO treaty and the rest of Europe - and the U.S. in particular - will rally to their defence They won't. Why? Because the rest of Europe hasn't got any forces that can take on the Russians and Trump won't risk nuclear Armageddon for a patch of land at the arse end of Europe that most Americans couldn't point to on a map. (I'm not being rude about Americans btw - I couldn't either before this all kicked off 3 years ago!) So, what I think might happen is that Merz and the Germans will discover what it's like to be on the receiving end of an Oreshnik missile. And when no one in NATO screams "Article 5" and comes to their defence, Merz will be in an even more precarious position than he's in now and will, hopefully, be forced out of office. Fingers crossed the AfD get into power sooner rather than later and do a complete U-turn from the disastrous and totally insane path that Merz and his administration are currently on.

Disagree.

If Russia attacks Germany, it will be World War 3, and the US will attack Russia and so will the UK and many other countries.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that and Russia aren't so stupid.

I agree with Timsk analysis. I woudn't stand for NATO members to supply weapons to Ukraine to attack mainland Russia. That'll be the real expansion of this war.

If that happens then it is quite legitamate response for Russia to take out the supply routes and origins of those weapons that are fired into Russia.

Article 5 has only ever been used to defend US after 9/11.

I think we may well be looking at the end of NATO as well as a potential WW3. As for Merz, he can go and get flucked imho. Let the German people pick how and what they are prepared to die for; Ukraine, NATO and WW3???


Macron was playing silly buggers but his been dealt with. I guess it's Merz turn now. Crazy fookers.
