Think I'm nuts? It's the official platform of SPD:

The SPD leaders, whose party is lagging Merkel’s Christian Democrats in the polls by 15 percentage points, said Germany would have to nearly double current defense spending from 37 billion euros to meet the NATO target. That would make it the largest military power in Europe - a goal they said “no one could want” given Germany’s Nazi history.

Instead, they said, Germany should focus on building a strong European defense union and, ultimately, a European army - a stance that may resonate with a deeply pacifist German public that remains skeptical of military engagements.

Keep in mind, they laughed at Churchill, proudly declaring he was a warmongering eccentric, if not downright delusional, literally right up until the Sudentenland. And all the Liberals of the day claimed "Peace in Our Time."

We really should be thinking about how to divide Germany into Saxony, Prussia, Bavaria, Hannover, etc.and if Morganthau was right all along.

Germany: Iraqi migrant on trial for raping an 82-year-old woman in her apartment, twice

An Iraqi man allegedly raped an a pensioner twice and he doesn’t even have to serve his detention period in prison. Instead, he’s in a “therapeutic institution”

German schools are holding mock elections. The AfD are winning every single one by a massive majority.

This is one of my favorite pictures.

My other one is Trump leaning back arms folded with Abe standing next to him while Mutti the Nag is lecturing him.

And the one of Trump sitting calmly at the Mar A Lago while people run around blurry in the background.

the German national election was today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_German_federal_election#Opinion_polls

will see how well the German Right (center left and conservative right) does today

before today's election, the German Right was CDU, FDP, and AfD, and is 362 seats (out of a total of 733 seats in German Parliament)

About 52.8% votes for the German Right which is CDU, FDP, and AfD with about 83% of the votes counted. It was a clear rebuke of the German Left and especially their open border policies.

Ironic, since the British general who wrote the novel "The Third World War" way back in the 1970s predicted that West Germany would never want to reunite with East Germany since the West Germans did not want a massive influx of leftist voters.

Too much unjustified dooming all over.

AfD is the 2nd biggest party in Germany now, 20+% more seats than the biggest left party, SPD .

Both SPD and the Greens lost a shitload of seats, and Die Linke's gains didn't offset the losses of the other two left parties.

In a NORMAL State, CDU/CSU would be bringing in AfD for a Right Government.

Or stealing AfD's platform in the next election.

The real question is how scared CDU/CSU is and how that weighs against neoliberal devotion.

each German terrorist act like a car driving into a crowd or a stabbing in public equated to at least a 2% drop in the polls for them

AfD has 20% of the Bundestag.

The only potential alternative to a coalition with AfD as junior partner to CDU is a "Kenya Coalition": Red-Black-Green.

Which will piss off many CDU/CSU voters as the government will increase taxes, regulation, etc.

GERMANY RESTARTS AFGHAN REFUGEE FLIGHTS IN POST ELECTION U-TURN

Germany’s back in the Afghan refugee game, landing 155 in Berlin yesterday after a sly election-time pause.

The CDU and SPD, fresh off dodging an AfD surge, greenlit the move, with 3,000 more queued up in Islamabad - part of 48,000 taken since 2021, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions.

The halt came after brutal attacks by Afghan nationals - like the rampage in Munich, killing 2 and injuring 28, or the Aschaffenburg daycare stabbings that killed a toddler.

The Interior Ministry blamed 'logistics,' but critics smell political optics.

Ex-Interior Minister Horst Seehofer once admitted some evacuees were rapists and on terror watchlists.

Yet, CDU’s Friedrich Merz, once hawkish, now shrugs, 'No one wants closed borders.'

CDU, FDP


Those two are about as 'right' as some young fool who answers pollsters 'yes' to 'Do you support socialism'.

Germany's Overton Window is quite different.
