Merz admitted that Germany is unable to defend itself

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, during his speech in the German Bundestag, lamented that, despite the fact that the German government intends to make the country strong, it is not yet capable of defending itself.

According to Merz, being strong for Germany primarily means having a thriving economy and the ability to defend itself. Based on this, the German chancellor considers NATO and EU membership to be extremely important for his country. Merz also noted that a significant portion of Germany's problems stem from domestic factors, and addressing these issues is the German government's most important task.

Merz also noted that various armed conflicts are currently unfolding around the world, directly and indirectly affecting Germany. The German Chancellor is convinced that, given the current international political climate, Germany must clearly define and defend its interests, primarily those related to ensuring "freedom, peace, and prosperity" within the country.

It was previously reported that the new communications system being developed for the Bundeswehr was completely inoperable. Furthermore, problems with certain functions could pose a direct threat to soldiers' lives. As revealed during tests, the communications system, which had cost over a billion euros, was unstable or even completely inoperable. Instead of clear voice messages, only gurgling noises were heard. Therefore, there was no guarantee that the command to immediately cease fire would be transmitted. The range was significantly shorter than required, and the friendly-team tracking system (to avoid firing on allies) was practically non-functional.

Very good Merz. It's time to remember: Russian Ivan, don't shoot, bitte, I'm going to take them prisoner.

There are plenty of Russians in Germany, they will protect the Germans from the Arabs.

[Nexcom]

Do we really need to protect the Germans from the Arabs?

[Aerolab]

It's necessary. Otherwise, I'll have to defend myself.

In conservative Bavaria, a 35-year-old "green" has taken over the mayor's seat in Munich. One of the qualities is whether he's a husband or wife. What kind of defense can we talk about? Bismarck is spinning like a fan. Germany is lost. What the hell is the AfD?

[Boycott]

He called himself a Burgeimister (not a joke, in their language Burgeymeister)

[expert]

In German it's "Bürgermeister." But the joke is spot on: "BürGAY"!
He's a physicist by training, 35 years old. He got 56,4% of the vote. The city of Munich disappeared...

[Bayun]

As a bit of a flood. Scholz-Merz... The next three Chancellors will be: Yots-Tots-Pervertots...

[Dead Frost]

There were rumors that Munich was a mecca for homosexuality in the last century...

[Sergej1972]

In German, ei is pronounced as "ay." Bürgermeister - Burgermeister.

[expert]

Andrew, Yes, for the first time, IT has found itself in the mayor's chair. Its name is Dominik Krause. Where are we going...

[Bayun]

Germans, you deceived.

I don't believe that 90% of normal men and women can choose mental freak to the mayor.

[expert]

That's how party candidates are elected.
And then this little group elects the mayor.

[Bayun]

"From the parties, whatever their names,
We will not create supports.
We are also alien to their sorrows,
As we, and our destinies, are to them."
(Goethe)

As far as I know, most German communities have adopted the direct election of mayors. However, in some communities, mayors are elected by representative bodies. There are also a minority of communities where mayors have no particular power and are governed primarily by directors hired by representative bodies. However, even in direct elections, the mayoral candidate also heads the list, so people vote for both the list and the mayoral candidate. The mayor is also the chair of the representative body. Even in communities and regions where there are no direct elections of mayors, people voting for a particular list know who the list nominates for mayor. Sociologists claim that independent candidates are unpopular in Germany. Germans prefer to choose between parties, especially since advance voting procedures are actively used in the formation of lists.

❝ The German Chancellor is convinced that, given the current international political conditions, Germany should clearly define and defend its interests ❞ —

- You should contact the State Department or even the American embassy, they will tell you what your interests are ...
(Well, and if something happens, you'll have to protect yourself yourself.)

Communication problems are funny. The Bundeswehr without the latest communications equipment is just wonderful.

[Bayun]

Thanks to the German banks! They destroyed the German electronics industry in the late 90s, forcing leading engineers to leave for Southeast Asia and the United States.

[Junior Private]

Germans! Surrender to the mercy of the Poles. They have tanks. So what if they're Korean? Once you surrender, no one will touch you.

[Nexcom]

...the Poles still remember everything. And if they do it now, they'll squeeze us dry. It's easier for us to surrender to the Germans. It'll be cheaper.

[Boycott]

Chatter of the highest order

noted that a significant part of Germany's problems are due to internal factors

And not the slightest attempt to influence these factors in the right direction. It only makes things worse.

According to Merz, being strong for Germany primarily means having a thriving economy and the ability to defend itself.

A sage and a prophet. From whom, then, to protect us? From the Poles, if anything... We don't need them, not at all. And what does Merz do on domestic issues, other than talk shop, for a strong economy?

[Ball]

Oh, so how does this SS abortive plan to fight Russia in 2029? How does he, with an impotent economy and an even more impotent army, expect to defeat Russia on the battlefield?

[K-50]

Merz admitted that Germany is unable to defend itself

So you need to sit evenly with everyone!!! and establish yourself in a neutral position. Then you won't even need the army.
Switzerland sat through the entire Second World War, only amassing wealth. Follow their example!

[Reptiloid]

Merz admitted..... .

Well, yeah! Manicures, leg shaving, hormones, inclusivity. .... That's what interests Germans.

Merz admitted that Germany is unable to defend itself

Classic public intimidation when military spending needs to be increased. Nothing new.

[Roman 11]

The connection, which had cost over a billion euros, was unstable or completely unavailable. Instead of clear voice messages, only gurgling noises were heard.

Aaaahhh! This is corruption! The Germans have gotten too greedy.

Evgeny, good evening. Honestly, I don’t know. The Greens are ardent Russophobes.

[Mint Gingerbread]

Now, perhaps even Poland could conduct its own SVO and simply take something from Germany.
