“We must never forget one thing: a world in which only power counts is a dangerous place — first for small states, then for middle powers, and ultimately for the great ones.”– German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the World Economic Forum in Davos
But “fuck Gaza”, amirite, you fucking hypocrite?
@aral Even hypocrites can speak the truth, & - in this case - he is, which doesn't excuse his hypocrisy.
@rmblaber1956 It’s speaking the truth in one area and living the lie in another that makes you a hypocrite.
@aral came here to say this⏫
@aral I see he was lowballing Carney's "international rules based order is dead" speech too.
Whatever the German version is of a Dad's Army "Don't panic" skit.
Also 🤦to:
"We must substantially reduce bureaucracy in Europe. The single market was once created to form the most competitive economic area in the world.
Instead, we have become the world champion of overregulation. That has to end."
Hadn't realized how far right economically Germany had slipped.
@aral
,You are right; power speaks in this world now, not international law.
