German Social Democrats demand resumption of dialogue with Russia on peace and security in Europe

The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) is one of the country's political forces that is part of the ruling coalition. Unexpectedly, German social democrats demanded a resumption of dialogue with Russia on peace and security in Europe.

This was reported by the Stern magazine (Germany).

According to a group of politicians, Berlin should not avoid rapprochement with Moscow.

They set out these demands in a document entitled “Securing Peace in Europe through Defence, Arms Control and Mutual Understanding,” which in Germany became known as a manifesto.

Among other things, representatives of this one of the ruling political movements of the FRG criticized the idea of ​​increasing the military budget. In their opinion, increasing it to five percent of GDP is an irrational step. The signatories of the manifesto believe that the amount of military spending should be calculated depending not on the size of the GDP, but on the real defense needs of the country. They claim that there is no need for a sharp increase in arsenals, since the total number of conventional weapons of European countries significantly exceeds those of Russia. Therefore, the policy of the FRG government aimed at militarizing the country, initiated by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, is erroneous.

Also, a group of social democrats, consisting of several dozen politicians, spoke out against the deployment of the latest American missiles medium range.

    Now Pistorius (also SPD) and company will trample them into the mud, accuse them of having ties to Putin, and if they don't repent, he'll fire them from the party. Freethinking is not for the Germans.

        Well, we never refused this dialogue, but it is useless to conduct it with revanchists... They only understand the language of force...

      That's it, freethinking is definitely not for the Germans. Work, tax, beer, work, tax, beer, ... etc.

    As they calculated (and among them is the former Minister of Finance), they came to the conclusion that it is becoming too expensive to "fight" themselves, without the USA. The belief that it was possible to achieve cheap prices for resources through pressure and blackmail began to evaporate. But the very stubborn still believe.

      Apparently the prices have gone up too much and the taxes have been raised. Some people's brains have woken up. And those who "arrived" on their necks do not inspire respect.

      The trouble is that the Fritzes themselves did what they were told. And they continue to do so, despite the statements of various officials. They all understand that they have lost a huge sales market, and lost their advantage in energy prices. They also owned 50% of Nord Stream. It was simply taken away from them and destroyed. They understand everything there, but the Yankees are holding them tightly by the Faberge. And whoever slips out, for some reason, immediately gets caught up in a scandal with harassment of a maid in a hotel.

    Of course, you can’t argue with that, but Pistorius is from their own party.

    And who will hear them in Europe? They will hush them up, rub them out, and say that this is how it is was.

    The biggest fear of the British is when Russia and Germany form an alliance. This is true. For reference.
    And if you dig into history, you will discover a striking fact. All achievements in the international arena, including victories, occurred when we were friends with the Germans.
    I know that now they will object and remember the Great Patriotic War. But I will remind you that the day before, it was the Germans who helped us to carry out industrialization. They even sold out Lutzov! Therefore, in part, they themselves helped us to defeat them!
