Rüttgen: Scholz isolates Germany - a dramatic turn in security policy!
The conflict in Ukraine takes dramatic twists! Norbert Röttgen (CDU), deputy chairman of the Atlantic Bridge, has a clear position. He sees the most recent decision by the US government to allow Ukraine to use ATACMS rockets against Russian goals behind the front as a pure campaign maneuver. "Tactics have now ended for bidges, for biden this is now foreign policy," says Röttgen at the television station Phoenix. This decision is interpreted as a direct reaction to the threat by 10,000 North Korean soldiers who sent Russia to the Ukraine War.
But what consequences could Donald Trump be won in future elections for the support of Ukraine? "It is expected from him - everything else would be a surprise - that there is no more American help after the end of the administration of Biden for Ukraine," warns Röttgen. A Trump deal with Putin would be the "worst variant of all variants", which could end at the expense of Ukraine and European security. Röttgen now sees Europe responsibility to ensure its own security, since US support is no longer a matter of course.
Scholz in criticism
Chancellor Olaf Scholz is also under pressure! His phone call with Putin has not only isolated him, but all of Germany. Röttgen has to say it clearly: "The Chancellor is now completely isolated." This isolation is criticized by the French President and the Polish and British Prime Minister. Scholz 'decision not to deliver long -range missiles stands out clearly from the American line and leads to a worrying increase in Russian attacks on Ukraine.
The situation is tense than ever before! European security is at stake and Röttgen appeals to the European nations not to underestimate their role in the conflict. The security of Europe not only depends on the United States, but also on a strong and determined European answer to the current challenges.
