German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made clear: “This war can only end with Ukraine’s full consent. It cannot be resolved by great powers over the heads of those under attack.” He stressed that Europe must be part of any solution and warned that Ukraine’s defeat would destabilize the entire continent.

This 👇🏼 was very clarifying analysis for me because I have been in the “but we *all* knew he was a rapist money laundering human trafficking adjacent thug already” camp. No so if you were brainwashed by the Q crap.
