In my foreigner's eyes Scholz always seemed too meak and weak, gray and without any presence, to lead the largest European economy in a situation like this. Of course he got to shoulder a terrible legacy since Germany was even deeper in Moscow's energy pocket than great many other nations. But especially so, the chancellor should have been a person of zero hesitation and a lot of strength. Germany has supported Ukraine the most after the USA, as individual countries, but due to Scholz's personality and lack of presence, Germany is often remembered for what it didn't do, rather than everything it did. It's quite sad. That being said, with a stronger person than Scholz leading Germany, I reckon Germany wouldn't be lagging behind so much in the aid measured in GDP percentage. But at least Scholz can be proud he achieved a whole lot more than Macron, who has been nothing but pitiful.

Scholz was a very weak chancellor, especially compared to his vice-chancellor Habek, who is also hated by low-iq social media fearmongers and hate driven people.
But it's just so unbelievable that we live in a time where Trump can be president (a second time!) and extreme right wing parties use propaganda and misinformation to gain traction and votes to the point where they might become, or already are, a mainstream party.
It's especially saddening in America's case, because how can a "normal" human being not see that Trump is a complete joke of a narcissist and sociapath character.

Fuck me, this is just scary as hell

What-the-actual-fuck.
And people really go there and say "yup, this person should have the most power in my country" and vote for a party out of spite for the other party.

Just.. fuck.
It's not like Biden was "much" better btw. (well.. much better compared to him, but still very bad) BUT THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT.
The "greatest country" only had the choice between two, almost dead guys with barely anything left in the brain? I know that the people behind him in the video are paid actors but what the hell.
