“At some point, Ukraine will sign a ceasefire agreement; at some point, hopefully, a peace treaty with Russia. Then it may be that part of Ukraine’s territory is no longer Ukrainian,” Merz told students at the Carolus-Magnus-Gymnasium in Marsberg, a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, on Monday.
WHY! THE! FLYING! FUCK! would he say that publicly? Doing so significantly weakens Ukraine’s (and the West’s) negotiating position. If the opponent knows that this is on the table from the get-go, they’ll start with even bigger demands. It’s terrible enough that Traitor Donnie has backstabbed Ukraine at the behest of his handlers in the Kremlin. It befuddles me, however, why even Merz now takes pages from “The Fart of the Deal”.
