The newly elected German Chancellor Merz came to the Oval Office of the White House. Many people in Zelensky have suffered losses here. Faced with Trump's various difficulties, how are Merz performing now? In a word, Mertz performed very well.
Some netizens also interpreted that this was an indirect demonstration by Mertz to Trump. You see, your grandfather was born here, you are just the grandson of us Germans. Is there a way to express this tragic abuse? Maybe it can't be said that there is no. In short, this is a general act of kindness, which promotes bilateral relations by bringing closer relationships between families, which is a common thing, especially in ancient European countries. There are more than a dozen royal families in Europe who intermarry each other and often use the relationship between relatives as an example to regulate disputes between countries, etc. This may be the legacy of modern European aristocrats.
So when talking about the Russian-Ukraine War, Mertz and his friends gave the meeting time to No. 5 in the United States. He stated that June 6th is d day, and d day is the day when Normandy landed. On June 6th, 1944, d day opened up the second battlefield in full swing. He said that the United States liberated us, the United States ended this war, and now we are here to discuss with the Americans what measures to take and what tools to take to end another terrible war. The main means are in our hands, especially in your hands. Mertz is also very straightforward, saying that the United States and Europe cooperate with each other will definitely end this war by taking measures and means, and the United States will definitely play a more important role. His statement seems to be neither arrogant nor humble, which is quite good.
Trump then picked on the trick, saying that you said d day, it was a disastrous day for you, and he was satirizing Germany as a defeated Nazi country in World War II. He said, when we went to log in on D-day, didn’t we defeat you? Merz said, no, D-day Normandy landed freeing the German people from the Nazis, he liberated us, a great day of victory worth remembering for us. As Germans, we are still grateful to the Americans for opening up the second battlefield.
This is a very good thing. Now we need to cooperate with the Americans to end this terrible Russian-Ukrainian war. So let’s evaluate it. From his Merz’s style of speaking, his leadership style, and his personal characteristics, you will find that the last German Chancellor, Merkel, did a very good job. Why? How to promote European integration in an era of peace? In different eras of a country, he needs different types of leaders. The reason why Merkel did so well was that she adapted to the era of peace in the rapid development of European integration. With her wise political wisdom, relatively moderate political means, and affinity, she successfully united Europe together, which was a bit like the European grandmother.
Then now Europe's agenda has changed, from economic integration to military integration, from relying on the United States to relative independence and autonomy. Do you think you must get rid of the United States 100%? This is not necessarily the case. In the future, we will move towards relative independence and autonomy. Europe's mission is changing, and Europe's role is changing. As Europe's largest country in population and economy, Germany's leadership role will also change. Just look at Merz's style of conduct. In all aspects, he seems to be more adaptable to today's rhythm than Scholz. Scholz is more like a fine tuning of Merkel's policy, more like a continuation of Merkel's traditional policy, more like a transitional prime minister from Merkel to Mertz. At present, at least in terms of his attitude, the rationalist style can better adapt to Europe's needs today.
