Germany’s bid for missile purchases comes at a difficult time.

The stereotypes associated with the German people may be an exaggeration and a generalization, but when we think about ‘aloof and cold’, ‘overly critical’ and ‘way too direct’, we can picture failing Chancellor Friedrich Merz in our minds.

Surely, as a Euro-Globalist ‘leader’, Merz is implementing the suicidal policies emanating from Brussels – notably the unchecked mass migration, that has frayed the German social fabric, and the green ‘net-zero’ lunacy that has made energy much more expensive, shattering the population’s standards of living and killing the industry.

Let’s also not forget about the obsession with footing the bill for the Ukrainian war effort.

But the most recent unforced error came due to Merz’s personality: he decided to run his mouth in an offensive – and absurd – way, saying that Iran had ‘humiliated’ the US militarily.

Donald J. Trump reacted in a forceful way announcing the withdrawal of 5,000+ troops from Germany, leaving Merz and other top officials trying to undo the heavy damage.

Yesterday (10), a Financial Times report has arisen that Germany is reviving efforts to buy Tomahawk cruise missiles from the ​US.

Reuters reported:

“Berlin hopes to persuade the Trump administration to agree to the ​sale of the Tomahawks together with their ​Typhon ground launchers.

The White House, ⁠the U.S. Department of Defense and the ​German Ministry of Defense did not immediately respond ​to Reuters requests for comment.

Germany’s Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius is planning a trip to Washington, the report ​said, in a bid to revive Berlin’s ​proposal to purchase long-range systems, which was first submitted in ‌July ⁠last year. The U.S. has yet to respond.”
