Political leadership in the EU is flailing in an attempt to distract attention from its own incompetence and pending economic disaster; but more importantly, they must keep the war in Ukraine on hot boil by any means necessary. Only a major war with Russia can hide the collapse of the Euro and delay a dissolution of the EU. There simply is no way for the AFU to keep fighting beyond 2025, and once the hot war ends, all of Ukraine's foreign debt becomes insolvent. The US can weather this storm, the EU cannot.

We Germans are, apparently, the most stupid people on earth, slavishly following authority wherever it will lead us - into the political, economic and social abyss, usually. Think about the 30 years war, Kaiser Wilhelm II & WW I, Nationalsocialism & WW II, "real" socialism & GDR, and now the green/left/woke internationalists and their hidden masters. I wonder whether I should ask for asylum in the USA...

America's upper echelons saw the terrible state of the country and decided that enough was enough. The German leadership "elite" have just doubled down. Just amazing to watch in real time.

A professional army is obedient to whoever cuts the cheques, a conscription army not so sure.

I wonder if AI will do the personality profiling.

Did any group vote explicitly for more mass immigration though? Merz is diseased. I don't know how the German public can take it anymore. Merz lied through his teeth. It's a stab in the back to the electorate.

Merkel voted for it. And hers was the only vote that counted.
