Germany: Election Weekend Comes With a Bang, Ends With a Whimper
Russia's parliamentary election has confirmed Putin's political dominance just as Moscow's air defenses crushed Ukraine's largest ever drone and missile strike on the Russian capital. Alexander breaks down why the Kremlin emerges stronger while Germany's Merz becomes a dead man walking after catastrophic CDU losses, and traces how Ukraine's collapsing Kharkov front and a hundred fifty million dollar failed strike are fueling growing panic across Europe. With the drone offensive faltering and the battlefield turning further against Kiev, how much longer can the West's strategy hold together?
Simplicius | ‘Tis what the Faustian BlackRock Bargain brings you, Herr Reichskanzler | Before the ‘shock’ of the Saxony-Anhalt state elections several weeks ago had time to wear off, Germany’s Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern round proceeded to deliver a double gut-punch to the Brussels-aligned establishment. ● AfD again dominated in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and though it was to be expected it nonetheless caused another round of shock waves through the fretting German state. The ruling CDU party plunged by around 8% from the ~13% it enjoyed the last time. In fact, CDU has now fallen below the 5% threshold to even be represented in the state parliament at all, which means they will not be accorded even a single seat. This has never before happened to the party in any state election; an historic downfall.
