If Iran were not protected by international law, then there would be no reason for them to not break international law, and do things that we all wish we could do to billionaires and Western politicians.

Can't wait for this to backfire when the US comes for Germany inevitably.

Vassals will follow the hegemon into the hell, but never once question whether their actions are in the interests of their population.

Germany is literally deindustrializing in real time. Their manufacturing output keeps dropping every month. And that was before gas prices shot up even more.

Hopefully Germany implodes soon and is no longer a blight on the rest of the world. Good riddance.

Merz von Hindenberg sucking up to Trump. "I'll go along with him, what could go wrong?"

He went on to say that “now is not the time” for Europeans to “lecture” the United States and Israel about legality, as he turned a blind eye to accusations that their attacks on Iran broke international law.

The wannabe tough guy posturing vs.

On Monday, the German government clarified that it had no intention of joining the Iran war, despite Mr Merz giving it his broad approval – caveated with some doubts as to what President Trump’s long-term goals were.

Johann Wadephul, the German foreign minister, admitted that in any case the country’s army lacked the “military resources” to go to war with Iran. The revealing moment underscored how Mr Merz’s dream of becoming the mightiest man in Europe still has a long way to go.

the sobering reality of not being what you once were.

I mean, one could walk past briskly and the breeze generated would bowl him over?

The most honest he has ever been. It's less cognitively taxing when the fascists say the quiet bit out aloud.

It was naive to assume that Germans can be trusted with a state

I wonder if he would be saying this when Greenland (Denmark) gets invaded, or Canada, or Germany, it is this because its a not white country?

Looks to me like plenty of Iranians are white. Is because they defy the bully?

Merz should not be protected by international law

Germany shan't be protected by international law, ffs...

It would be a shame if an Oreshnik landed on Merz's house due to such exemptions in international law.

Something something a law that binds some and offers no protection to, and a law that protects some while not binding them

[–] Trioxin@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 day ago

But, of course, they should be bound by it...

Cause cracker said so?
