Merz is dreaming of German troops in Ukraine.
Among the many sticking issues under discussion in the Russia-Ukraine peace process, is the matter of ‘security guarantees’ for Kiev.
The US administration of Donald J. Trump has offered Volodymyr Zelensky what they term as ‘platinum’ guarantees, a ‘Article-5 level’ security guarantees – but only if they choose peace soon.
In the meantime, the European ‘powers’, led by failing liberal-Globalist leaders, have been insisting in the presence of ‘peacekeeping troops’ after the peace agreement.
The problem is, of course, that Russia will never accept ‘peacekeepers’ from openly hostile western European nations, though in the past they’ve signaled openness to discuss a peacekeeping force formed by neutral nations.
Failing German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has found some protagonism among Europeans in the recent rounds of talks, to the chagrin of France’s Emmanuel Macron.
Now, emboldened by the last events, he has opined that German troops ‘could participate in a coalition to secure a demilitarized zone in Ukraine’.
That is patently absurd, since Moscow has not only rejected European troops, but also has not agreed to any demilitarized zone.
But the kicker is: Merz wants his German boots in the ground under rules allowing them to ‘retaliate against corresponding Russian incursions and attacks’.
Leader in the polls, AfD’s Alice Weidel called Merz crazy.
Bloomberg reported:
“’We are not there yet’, Merz told public broadcaster ZDF in Berlin Tuesday evening. The chancellor expressed optimism that Russian President Vladimir Putin would eventually have to agree to a settlement. ‘Putin has said ‘nyet’ to many things, at some point he will also have to say ‘yes’ to something when it’s about ending this war’, he said.”
Merz’s remarks show that he views German troops as ‘playing a central role in giving security guarantees to Ukraine’.
