As Russian aggression continues and Trump’s US threatens NATO, it is even more vital for a unified defence of the continent.

Are you ignorant or a Russian bot?
Look at the countries bordering Russia and count the number of invasions over the last 15 years.
Talk to Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians.
Educate yourself!!
I’m gonna ask again when the strong German military is firmly in the hands of an AfD government, which will be directly controlled by Putin. That’s gonna be so fun 🎉
Realistically, if AfD is in control and starts doing shenanigans militarily, Germans are gonna politely drag them out of office. I mean, this is a country where only a minority would take up arms to defend their own house, they are not going to attack anyone if they need to be dragged kicking and screaming to defend.
Weidel is supposedly more on the US side. If she manages to pull a Merkel and silence Putin’s men then other bad things can happen.
Weidel is the Röhm of our times. She will be the first victim of the night of the long knives.
History only rhymes. Lucke is dead. Petry is half dead. Weidel is too clever to be the third person making the same mistake.
The AfD won’t get 50% soon in Berlin. Weidel will be head of opposition for years to come. This allows the CDU to do whatever they want because the remaining opposition has less than 25% for a parliamentary inquiry committee.
In the last 15 years?? 2. Ukraine and the Caucasus. Zero baltic state invasions. But I’m not here to defend Putin whatsoever.
Look at the countries in the middle east and count the number of invasions that the German military has been part of or supported with weapons and military technology in the last 15 years. I can promise it’s more than 2. And don’t forget one of those involves a genocide.
Can you tell us the number of invasions over the last 15 years, please? I checked, but I call bullshit from your side.
Did you talk to Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians or are you pulling that shit out of your ass to discredit your discussion partner, in the same way you do, when you ask, if they are a Russian bot?
