“While Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s announcement that Germany is stopping arms deliveries to Israel made international headlines as a shocking policy reversal, the details tell a different story.”

    Typical leftist not understanding what winning looks like.

    it is really bloody stupid to claim that it is “worse then nothing”

    Not sure where to go from here, as you frame your whole comment like that and through that deconstruct any veneer of seriousness you thought you might have.

    Nothing of what I said is untrue and I also assured you, that I understand your angle and laid out reasons for why I disagree with your conclusion.

    But your reaction is repeating your point, ignoring the arguments laid out and adding a bit of ridicule. Really, fabulous substance.

    I even agree with you, that what you proclaim as a win has a small potential to end up having a positive effect in some fictional future.

    What I‘m saying is that using that possibility as foundation to call that a win (for whom, anyway? Surely not for the Palestinians) or to feel some kind of relief, because it emits that appearance that yes, finally, something has been done, is naive.

    Although, with candidates like you, I also have to wonder, if it‘s really naivety or rather malice.

    There is no working mechanism to hold any lying politician accountable through the nature of them having used the morally bad thing called „lie“. It really does not matter if Merz lies. Merz is a deeply insincere person, anyway, always was. How „really fucking stupid“ is it, to think that his dishonesty is a „win“, sorely because of the mere possibility, that he could end up looking like a liar. lol.

    If Merz actually stopped anything, then you would have a case. What happened until now, is political maneuvering to appease the critical populus. It‘s cute that you feel like that‘s a win, I‘m saddened by your ignorance to actually call this a win.

    But winning seems to be a very important aspect of your inner workings, so w/e. Have a good day.
