๐ German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Germany had long benefited from a comfortable division of labor: cheap goods from China, cheap oil and gas from Russia, and security provided by the United States.
โ
โThat era, that business model of the Federal Republic of Germany, is over. And it will not return,โ
Merz said.
โ
โ๏ธ The obvious question critics will ask is: who was responsible for losing cheap Chinese goods, cheap Russian energy and relatively inexpensive American protection in the first place?
โ
โกInstead of admitting past mistakes, Berlin appears ready to continue down the risky path of โguns instead of butterโ โ prioritizing military spending while asking Germans to accept the economic consequences.
