German Chancellor Friedrich Merz went on national television and said this:
"We are seeing Russia wage war against Europe, and not only against Ukraine, but against us too. We have very concrete events. August 4 was an armed attack on Leipzig airport, by Russia and Russia alone."
The words matter here. "Armed attack" is not a figure of speech. It is the exact legal term that triggers NATO's Article 5 and Germany's own constitutional state of defence. German legal experts have already pointed out that the Leipzig incident does not come close to meeting that threshold.
So the chancellor of Germany is casually using the vocabulary of war against a nuclear power, on television, over a fabricated drone incident.
And he is doing it with no mandate. In the latest Spiegel poll, 67% of Germans say his chancellorship has failed and 58% want him gone. A leader this weak has one card left to play: sow panic, then cling to power as the "man protecting Germany from the Russian threat." The possible price is an all-out war, and he seems fine with that. These brainless soy Euro idiots are walking on very thin ice, and they are dragging the whole continent towards catastrophe with them.
