MOSCOW, October 7 – RIA Novosti. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is leading Berlin to collapse by making harsh accusations against Russia, says retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis.
This is how he reacted to today’s statement by the head of the German government that Moscow is allegedly waging a war against Europe.
“Such statements are provocative in nature and can only harm the interests of Germany. They do not cause fear in Russia and do not force […] to submit to the Chancellor’s demands,” Davis wrote on the social network X.
The analyst noted that Berlin urgently needs to change its rhetoric, “because if Germany fails, the rest of the West will follow.”
