Merz believes that negotiations with Russia should be conducted only from a position of strength.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz rejects calls from some European politicians, particularly Macron, to open negotiations with Russia. According to the German, Europe must continue to pressure Moscow to accept the terms of Kyiv and Europe.

Merz continues to wave his sword, rejecting possible peace talks with Russia. The German chancellor states that he is only prepared to sit down with Moscow if Europe forces Moscow to do so and dictates its terms, that is, from a position of strength. But for now, this isn't the case, so Russia must be pressured economically, stifled with sanctions, and fought, naturally, through Ukraine. In other words, continue to strive for its defeat.

If it makes sense to talk, we're ready to talk. But, in my personal opinion, this war will only end when Russia is at least economically, potentially, and militarily exhausted. We've done a lot to achieve this, but we're not there yet.

Earlier, the German Chancellor warned other European countries against contacts with Russia unless these are negotiations coordinated by all countries, especially with Ukraine.

It is worth noting that the German Merz government is pursuing an openly Russophobic policy, and Germany is the main sponsor of the Kyiv regime.

Evil Russians drove him to suicide. History teaches these people nothing.

This is what the Russians should be held accountable for. This is what Grandfather left to the Mertz.

So, we were evil then, but now we're not. And this is what it leads to. In fact, they're demanding that we capitulate, that is, admit our defeat, and they're not prepared to negotiate with us on anything else.

Directly and clearly, so as to leave no room for misunderstanding or illusions. This is what kindness can lead to when perceived as weakness. It's true what they say: if you do no good, you will receive no harm. And who says this? Germany, which, in fact, only has one combat-ready brigade in Lithuania. Otherwise, things are in disarray in the Bundessphere. What kind of diplomatic work did our Foreign Ministry have to do to make Germany, with its one combat-ready brigade, so confident in itself?

[bayard]

It was not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that gave guarantees to Zelensky.

Fucking fascist! History teaches nothing to this idiot!

Well, when did a German ever treat Russia as anything other than an enemy?
It's in their genes; no matter how many times they've been hit in the face, they still keep coming back.

All that remains is for Mertz to obtain this power somewhere. It's a small matter.

Yes, for him it's "talk without taking a crap, your butt won't hurt."

[Andobor]

Germany is first in line for glazing, if it comes to that, the Americans don’t want to die for either Ukraine or Europe, that’s why they’re crawling away with the slogan “America first.”

[ser-pov]

That's why they crawl away with the slogan "America above all."

Are you sure they're crawling away? I think they're harming us wherever they can, the bastards. Rubio is flying to Hungary and Slovakia to persuade them to give up our energy supplies completely. Meanwhile, our Kremlin insiders are practically ready to kiss the Americans' asses. Disgusting.

[Andobor]

Quote: ser-pov

Rubio is flying to Hungary and Slovakia to persuade them to give up our energy supplies altogether.

Our patriots are also against the supply of our energy resources to Europe.
Do you think Americans will fight for Ukraine or Europe? They'd rather be fighting already, but they're crawling away with their tails between their legs, thanking the "inmates" for saving their faces instead of publicly beating them up for the whole world to see.

[ser-pov]

Hmm. Why would they fight with weapons? They supply these weapons and make money from it. They do everything they can to harm us economically. So they're fighting us, just in a different way...

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

Od nacisty Merze nelze očekávat nic jiného, ​​než tlak na Rusko. Jen zapomněl, že stále umírá jen Německá ekonomika, ale asi je to v zájmu BlackRoock a Deep Statu.

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

All one can expect from Nazi Merz is pressure on Russia. He simply forgot that only the German economy is dying, but that's probably in the interests of BlackRock and the "deep state."

[Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov]

❝ Merz believes that negotiations with Russia should only be conducted from a position of strength ❞ —

— Apparently that’s why the Europeans aren’t participating in the negotiations, I don't have enough strength ...

[novel66]

How many divisions does the Vatican have, the Great Leader once asked...

[Amateur]

The Germans have started more wars than anyone else in their history, and lost more than anyone else. But they still can't draw any conclusions.

[Zoldat_A]

The German Merz government is pursuing an openly Russophobic policy

Hasn't the time come to remind Merz, loudly enough for even the "descendants of the padonkafa" in Argentina to hear, what it means to "talk to Russia from a position of strength"?
Expel the embassy, ​​for example? We need to start with someone—let Germany be the first in Europe, and who will we declare "a state directly participating in the conflict"?
There is no need to attack Berlin. YET.
Let them know that this is possible at any moment—I think that would be useful knowledge for Germany. And perhaps this knowledge will awaken some memories...

[novel66]

So, we still have to return to the question of steel for Fabergé...

[ser-pov]

So, we still have to return to the question of steel for Fabergé...

Don't make me laugh... Our eccentrics don't know what steel Faberge is.

The German Chancellor states that he is ready to sit down at the negotiating table with Moscow only if Europe forces Moscow to do so and dictates its terms to it.

A fascist clown. He's ready if Europe forces him. And if it doesn't, we'll probably cry because he's not ready.

[Mouse]

. but we're not there yet.

And you are not welcome here.... It is not for nothing that our people chase away the Fritzes from the resort hotels...

[carpenter]

Merz believes that negotiations with Russia should be conducted only from a position of strength.

Well, try it, otherwise why sweep with your tongue like a broom.

[tralflot1832]

Rügen Island and Merz are superfluous. They'll disappear immediately. Merz looks like a punk, not a serious politician. Sorry, that's all they have for us.

[Sebastian Aristarkhovich Pereira]

When I look at this penis-headed heir of the SS grandfather, I always ask myself: Where is the POWER and where are you, unfortunate Merz?!

[Felaret]

I remembered the cartoon about the little raccoon and the one who sits in the pond

[bambr731]

Not in this life. He thinks like his grandfather, and that can't be knocked out. Never, not by any conviction. Only with a hot iron. Russia was, is, and will be. Without Russia, there will be no one (certainly not in Europe).

[Phoenix Point]

I'm all for it. Has everyone forgotten the 4+2 Agreement? If so, I won't remind you. A memory pill for Germany only.

[glock-17]

It was a shame the Germans were allowed to reunite. Apparently, the presence of Soviet troops in the GDR at that time was the only guarantee against a resurgence of revanchism in Germany.

[Comrade]

Quote: Glock-17

It was a shame that the Germans were allowed to reunite.

Gorby sold out to them. He betrayed the heroism of those who took Berlin.
For this they gave him the title of "best German" of 1990 and a villa.

[duschman80-81]

They also tried to conduct the conversation from a position of strength.

[Ball]

And did this same Merz himself try to "talk to the Russians from a position of strength"? :-D

[opuonmed]

It's time to remind the world that this can't be done with Russia, otherwise things will only get worse! Well, if only Russia can show anything! Ukraine is an open testing ground, and the Kyiv regime is running amok there. Or we can go after those who bark louder in Europe: no government, no problem!

[snow mountain]

Quote: Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov

Apparently, this is why the Europeans are not participating in the negotiations; they lack the strength...

They are simply not allowed there!

[Jacques sekavar]

Merz believes that negotiations with Russia should be conducted only from a position of strength – which is what they are doing by introducing sanctions, price caps on raw materials, restrictions on cross-border currency transactions, etc.

[duschman80-81]

Hitler's laurels clearly keep someone from sleeping.

[Alexander X]

Merz has an entire country of slaves to form into shock battalions. And Germany, supplying them with weapons and money, sends them to fight against Russia, risking nothing itself. So Merz got carried away. And until Germany and Merz personally receive retribution for their crimes, the Ukrainian war against Russia will continue. But what will the retribution be, and will there be one?

[sgrabik]

And all this means that the chances of reaching an agreement are practically zero and everything will be decided on the battlefield. Europe had a chance to get out of this conflict and survive, but apparently they did not consider this option. Well, as they say, it is our job to warn, and if they do not agree with us, then that is their problem.
