The co-leader of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Alice Weidel, has said that she will oppose any arms supplies to Ukraine if she succeeds Olaf Scholz as the country’s chancellor.

The AfD nominated Weidel as its candidate for the post on Saturday, in the party’s first bid for the chancellery in its 11-year history. It has steadily risen in popularity since its founding in 2013, and is currently Germany’s second-strongest political party.

Speaking to reporters after the nomination, Weidel promised to introduce drastic immigration restrictions, to roll back Scholz’s climate policies, and to cut off military aid to Ukraine.

I hardly doubt it, Germany is having it's MAGA moment, promising and not delivering would be a terrible blow for it's GDP. Scholz mastigated the German Bitcoin reserves (liquidity) 3 months ago. This is my general opinion, I don't see EU woke policies pleasing Trump or Germans anymore, we could even witness a GEREXIT or a long term defense/climate cooperation agreement between Germany and the US from which Germany would pay lower energy fees than the rest of Europe. Germany could even become the world's largest producer of robotics and electric vehicles.

That would be a somewhat surprising turn of events…
