"Habeck" und "emotionaler Aufpeitscher" in einem Satz.

Jo, genau meine erste Assoziation bei Habeck: charismatischer, sprühender Teufel, der listig die Mengen zur äußersten Extase marionettiert. Ein wirklicher Scharfmacher und Rattenfänger, dieser Habeck! Sollte man aufpassen!!1

Nicht die Zwiebel :S

Jeder kennt den Namen, keiner weiß wo :)

Ich habe mir einfach einen passenden über iFixit gekauft. Der war zwar etwas teurer als die günstigsten Angebote und sicherlich ebenfalls aus China, aber ich vertraue denen mehr als einem Amazon-Dropshipper, zumal sie zusichern, dass er die Hersteller-Specs einhält. Es ist zwar erst ein halbes Jahr her, aber noch tut er wie gewünscht.

Which is why someone in Finland shouldn’t be making statements limiting Ukraines decision space. If Ukranians decide to continue the war so they can join NATO, then that is their decision and should be supported.

I read you talking about establishing a buffer zone between Russia and NATO. If this isn't limiting Ukraine's decision space over the head of Ukrainians, what is?

..which is why we urgently need to dump the general rule of "frozen conflicts prevent accession into NATO" and change them into tailormade agreements. Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine: so far, Russia has an incentive for frozen conflicts to steer these countries on the course it wants. We should no longer allow this.

Russia is not going for a direct confrontation with NATO as it would loose that for sure.

This is what everyone was saying looking at those 100kish Russian soldiers at the Ukrainian border at the beginning of 2022. "They won't do it, that is not enough men".

And who says it is going to be a open escalation? Remember Crimea? Hacking attacks? Russia is all about destabilisation just below the threshold of clear and open aggression. Them stirring up some bullshit in for example Narva will put the west to the test. And I'm sure there will be a lot of voices on our side warning against an open conflict with Russia just because they seized a small border town in a small country.

It's the same as in Ukraine: if Putin has enough reason to believe it might work, he will try it.

A Ukraine with nukes is as bad for Russia as a Ukraine in NATO. Russia wants to rule again over "its" (aka Soviet) lost "sphere of influence". This is textbook imperialism and if that's what you want to defend here, fine. Just don't expect me to agree.

and permanently integrating it into one geopolitical side

I like how you talk about it as if it's about game pieces on a game board. What about the people from Ukraine? How about letting them decide on which "geopolitical side" they want to live?

I forgot the Baltics! How could I forget NATO members Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (since 2004)?

Don't worry. Everyone does.

Wundert dich wirklich, dass Merz (und seine Partei) das Gegenteil davon machen, was in der Situation angebracht wäre?
