The left leaning, accused of corruption, paid by the Democrats news outlet Politico makes a destructive comment on both leaders, Starmer and Merz.
Politico’s opinion is: “Despite sitting on different sides of the political spectrum, the two men have more in common than initially meets the eye. Crucially, center-left Prime Minister Starmer and conservative Merz have a shared ambition to provide leadership on Europe’s defense.
A lawyer in his 60s who ascended to Germany’s top job with relatively little political experience, Merz has a fair few things in common with his British counterpart.
While Starmer has endeavored to match the previous U.K. government’s strong backing for Ukraine, Merz is seen as more hawkish than his predecessor Olaf Scholz, bringing the UK and Germany into closer alignment. ”
Politico is quiet harsh when commenting the qualifications of Merz for the top job. Even harsher is the comment that Merz and Starmer have one thing in common: war i Ukraine.
The German media is now more and more pointing to the fact that Merz is neglecting the interior politics, which he leaves almost entirely to the junior partner of hiscoalition SPD and instead Merz is said to focus almost exclusively on foreign politics, which for him is essentially war and Ukraine.
Politico is know for media corruption, paid for journalism, since it became public that Politico was hugely paid by the Drmocrats for producing anti-Trump pieces.
Now, Politico is raising attention to the fact that UK and German elites are using the security of their countries as prime matter for their rule, which allows to take difficult decisions, almost creating a scenario like war time, to raise money, taxes and debts and reduce social spending. Starmer, Merz and Macron are those who push the idea of a war with Russia, as well the EU is partner in it. The rhetoric helps to cover home made problems and allow for huge deficit spending with crazy tax increases – neglecting their ailing home economies. War was always good enough to keep power and to destroy a political opponent, but also to suppress the masses and their demands.
Merz should take a view on the UK which was very unlucky with its passport wars: All the latest wars where the UK took part ended in failors or disasters, financially and geopolitically. In Afghanistan the Taliban are back in power, the UK had enormous costs and losses, during the war and afterwards resettling tens of thousands Afghans to the UK. Libya was a failure, just costs. The Irak war was based on lies and its destruction did not bring advantages, except for occupying Irak’s oil. In Syria, luckily the UK had a small exposure only. And Ukraine develops into a mass grave also for billions and billions of tax payers’ money without any advantage, geopolitical or economic, what so ever.
Merz, as Starmer can see the direct consequences of wars in the huge migration flows ending in their respective countries. The inherent security risks of this immigration, both countries refuse to quantify, even though the public must feel it on a daily basis.
Maybe Merz shall return to the good old German post-WWII tradition: “From German soil shall never start a war against.”
