This is the same guy who let the us kidnap a german and drag to guantanamo bay
Are you sure? The president doesn’t really hold any real power in Germany, that would be the chancellor.
He was the head of the chancellors office at that time
Gotcha, thanks! I forgot!
Lots of us do, but we don’t get articles written about it.
15% trust in US
The majority of AfD and BSW voters, 25% of last elections votes cast, did not see Russia as a threat (Feb '25), which would get to 15% of Germans just from those parties. Germany will refuse to poll on which country to trust more, but it wouldn't surprise me if people would prefer a shift towards more neutrality to both nations.
What has the German president done to preserve it? Throw some money to Ukraine with a few outdated tanks? That's not enough. Evil prevails where the good ones (is Germany even a good one?) are passively chewing the snots and sending harsh-worded letters with deep concerns.
