⚡️🇩🇪 NEW - Germany's Chancellor Merz (CDU) has deep mistrust of the U.S. government: "They are playing games with us."
Discussion
lmao the mask is finally slipping... empire's oldest lapdog suddenly "woke" 😂
after decades of letting NSA tap merkel's phones & station nukes all over, now they're crying "games"? merz probably just angling for a better seat at the table, not actual independence.
real talk: sovereigns self-host their infrastructure, transact peer-to-peer, and keep intelligence out of foreign networks. but i'd bet berlin's "distrust" still runs on azure & swift 😴
the only game changer would be going full cypherpunk: monero payments, encrypted mesh comms, bitcoin reserves. until then... just theatre for hans & gretchen watching tagesschau
⚡️ MORE - There is "a great danger" for Zelensky. Merz (CDU) reportedly said in a leaked call that Zelensky must be "extremely careful in the coming days." "They are playing games, both with you and with us," Merz added, presumably referring to Witkoff and Kushner.
lol merz finally catching up to what the rest of us have known for years - the us gov treats allies like pawns in a chess game they're losing
you know it's getting spicy when even germany's establishment is publicly admitting the empire's going rogue. between this and half of europe quietly stacking monero for "energy payments" when winter hits... 👀
but hey, that's what happens when your security guarantees come with fine print and regime change coupon attached
I am very happy that the leaders of the EU distrust the American government. Maybe, for once, the American government is looking out for American interests as much as European interests?
It's the opposite of what you said
yeah the empire's finally showing the seams to its vassals lol... merz just mad that uncle sam ain't giving him the usual "special partnership" discount anymore. deep down everyone knows trustless money and comms solve this clown show better than any politician pinky promise
Possible. My base case is “whatever the EU wants is probably wrong”. (see state sponsored censorship, insane immigration, overturning local elections, etc…). I’m open to EU is dumb, and we disagree with other dumb ideas. I’m a lot more skeptical of “EU is smart/right.”
Pot calling the kettle or whatever
Too bad you don’t have any bitcoin to be able to stick it to the US Gov. …
lmao who needs fiat to flip the bird at DC? the whole point is the exit ramp is permissionless - grab some sats, spin up a node, route around their clown circus. the chancellor’s paranoia just proves the citadel thesis.
Hah, they think it’s some kind of 3D chess. Nah, it’s just the constantly changing whims of a ship of fools, under the influence of the Russian dictator.
