    You have to understand Merz has a natural desire to be a laughing stock. With Donny throwing a tantrum over the midterms, he has to reestablish himself as the most unqualified western head of state.

    I mean, it’s not wrong to speak to Putin if he comes to G20. But you really shouldn’t expect anything here. Speaking to Putin really won’t stop the war

      Considering how often Putin has shown that he doesn’t care about any promises he made, talking with him is just a waste of oxygen.

    Well, please don’t tell him we’re going back to licking boots of dictators.

    And bonus points for complaining about the breakfast. You (Merz) shouldn’t just mock African nations. Pretty sure the bread in Miami sucks as well?!

      As a German myself i can say: If you want good bread, there is only Germany (and perhaps Austria) everywhere else bread just sucks.

        There is really good bread in other countries, too, just not in the USA. Instead of their “bread”, you could just as well eat a sponge.

        Yeah, guess the good old “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” applies. There’s plenty of pancakes to be had (for breakfast), omelette, soup, pastry, porridge, vegetables…
