German Foreign Minister Believes Deploying Troops to Ukraine Would be “Too Much”

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has come under fire for stating that it would be unwise to send troops into Ukraine. “We are the only European troop contributor to station a combat-ready brigade in Lithuania. Doing that and also stationing troops in Ukraine would probably be too much for us,” Wadephul told the Table Today Podcast.

Sending troops to Ukraine is highly unpopular in Germany among the citizens, despite the government’s eagerness to support Ukraine with manpower. The foreign minister suggested that Germany could provide military and technical support without entering Ukraine.

Critics claim he is simply attempting to appease the people and betraying Ukraine by not offering to send men into combat. He also voiced another unpopular opinion—working with the United States to potentially provide security guarantees.

“We are now hearing signals from Washington that they are prepared to do so [provide security guarantees], and this must then be worked out together with the Europeans, with Germany naturally having to play an important role,” Wadephul said in the interview, adding Berlin could provide military and technical help, among other things.

The Bundeswehr deployed 4,800 troops to Lithuania, and again, critics believe it is ridiculous to say that the military is stretched too thinly to deploy others directly to Ukraine. It will cost Germany an estimated 800 million euros annually to maintain their current presence in Lithuania.

No one thinks of the cost involved with sending troops into Ukraine, which is of little importance compared to the broader implications of sending troops and then actively forcing the entire nation and the European Union to fight on behalf of Ukraine.

The neocons are waiting for that “push comes to shove” moment. The people are extremely vocal about their point of view on the matter. Those looking at the numbers and logic alone are warning against deployment. Anyone who understands history is keenly aware that German is on the brink of completely entering a war against Russia that it is unprepared to fight.

The entire EU will become involved in the war if Germany sets foot into Ukraine, as Germany is the economic powerhouse supporting the bloc, and France, the second most powerful in terms of finance, has similar wartime ambitions. It appears that push will come to shove by next year on 2026.45 when our computer indicates a central turning point between the EU and Russia.

“I don’t give a rat’s ass about Armstrong Economics”

The your only reason for being on his thread is to troll me with infantile name calling.
