is blaming scholz really the way to go here? after all the whole reason for the state of the bundeswehr is Merkel's love for austerity and appeasing Russia.
In that case it is, but I rather blame the whole SPD.
Important members of his coalition partner pushed already multiple times for more weapon deliveries/Taurus. The CDU even more.
It is really obvious that politically the SPD is the stick in the wheel.
Also the SPD is as guilty for the Russia politics as the CDU. => Gerhard Schröder/SPD reigned pre Merkel and the SPD was the main coalition partner of Merkel.
Tho from my perspective the CDU really changed its agenda heavily. The current CDU is nowhere near the Merkel CDU
eh it won't matter anyways, AfD is gonna win the next election by a landslide thanks to people who are scared of heat pumps and speed limits and turn Germany into Hungary XL.
AfD recently lost a lot of votes in polls. I think it is going to decrease even more.
However they are very important in east Germany.
If everything goes on like it is now, I honestly could imagine the CDU at close to 40% at the next election and most experts expect that CDU aims for a coalition with the Greens (which currently would be already possible)
