Victims and Predators: Swapping Roles (Satis Shroff)

Victims and Predators: Swapping Roles (Satis Shroff)

Friedrich Merz was shocked by Putin and Trump’s opinions on the Russian Angriffskrieg on Ukraine. This is a classical change of victim- and-predator roles, a narrative that has been promoted by Putin, and which has also been taken over by Donald Trump.

Trump gave Selenski the blame for the Russian War initiated in February 2022 still goes on, which is a blatant lie.  Now it’s important for the Europeans to agree to a common strategy on how to carry on with this difficult theme.

Merz was of the opinion that we, as Europeans, have to develop our own weight ( that we can probably through around). Trump’s poke at Selensky was a calculated provocation, to see how another aggressive stance, as expected by the partners of the Nato.

And what’s Alice Weidel’s opinion on the matter? She thinks the stationing of the German troops in Europe would be a wrong step, as according to her opinion Germany is not in a position to even defend the country should it be attacked by Russia. It needs international Peace troops, without Germany. What a laughable proposition from Germany’s opposition. Both Sahra Wagenknecht and Alice Weidel would like to see a non-participation of Germany in Europe’s biggest foray. In this respect, the would-be Chancellor Merz would take another   aggressive stance, as expected by the partners of the Nato. But far from it.

It’s one step after another and the time in not ripe for Peace Troops in the Ukraine or elsewhere. We are still in the brutal fighting modus, and Trump’s intervention will not accelerate the matter. Peace is still far away, even though Starmer (UK), Neherlands and Sweden re for Peace Troops.

Meanwhile, Poland (Donald Tusk), which is armed to the teeth, would rather support Starmer (UK) and Macron (France). The Poles prefer to deliver logistical and political assistance.

And Scholz? The German Chancellor has grown mellow and careful, as usual and he has proved in many instances that he doesn’t want to take a step without the consent of his new, whimsical boss Donald Trump. If Trump does it, then Germany follows suit. He insists that Nato always makes political, military and other decisions together after a Nato talk. This means: no Nato talk, no reaction from Scholz’s side. He even goes so far as to say: ‘Risks have to be shared.’ And adds: ‘This is not to be questioned in any case.’

Another talk in Riad (Saudi Arabia). What’s it going to be about?

About Ukraine.

With or without Ukraine?.

Without, of course. Other Europeans will also not be invited.

As if in defence, Kellogg says: ‘It’s not useful when all nations sat at a round table that want a Peace Deal.’

Oh, I see.
