Oh, and once they start to develop their own jets each, France will suddenly realize that they want all the capabilities and options they vehemently denied when Germany mentioned them. We have seen this happen so often now, it isn't even funny anymore.

My personal highlight still is the APACHE desaster that brought us too conceptionally identical cruise missile produced by two different subsidiaries of the same company, just because German ideas about the warhead's capabilities were totally insane... until about 1min after they walked away from the project and France decided to actually want that sophisticated bunker-busting warhead now that there are no stupid Germans with the same idea anymore.

the CDU stayed, which makes “right-wing populists” a jab.

Do you really want to pretend that the C*U is doing anything else nowadays but populism? They are basically parroting every culture war bullshit the AfD brings up with some delay.

They campaigned on "hard work needs to pay off again" before screwing workers, "no new depts, the country doesn't have a problem of revenue but on of expenses" before taking on a historic amount of dept, just to waste it all on tax cuts and subsidies for the ultra-rich and actually create a revenue problem, while also loudly announcing to reverse all policies of their predecessors (which usually meant just renaming them without much change - normally just removing all measures making them socially acceptable).

All while rotating so quickly through different groups to blame that the only people they did not insult by now are toddlers and their rich patrons.

They are the posterchilds of promising everything their voters produce in empty bar talk, yet not delivering anything but platitudes and finger-pointing.

Weil sie sich zum FDGO des Landes bekennen, aber das Grundgesetz so schwierig zu schwenken ist?

Und wer klingelt wird aufs aggressivste von Fußgängern angegangen, die sich dadurch erschrecken oder persönlich angegriffen fühlen. Also umfahr ich die auch eher langsam, als zu klingeln. So gern prügel ich mich nämlich einfach nicht.

Nicht im echten Deutschland geborene deutsche Führer haben halt Tradition...

~~Germany~~ the German government doesn’t want to build up an alternative

Still wrong. German politicians and parties have in big parts fled those far-right cesspools. It's just the right-wing populists that stay there because that's where they have an audience cheering for their insanity.

So no, it's not some unwillingness to build an alternative. They are straight out appeasing fascists and staying on that platform because they want to copy their ideas on how to keep in power by dividing the population with a permanent stream of bullshit.

There is only exactly one right-wing playbook and everyone is copying from it.

Meanwhile european politicians continue to post on X.

The same politicians also like to constantly appease US fascists while trying to normalise genocides in the Middle East and copying moves from the exact same playbook of 'how to destroy democracy with right-wing populism and culture war'.

So maybe, just maybe, it's not the lack of alternatives (or even the need to have one) but their intentions that make them flock to and stay on that platform.

Why would we need European alternatives to bot-infested, troll-operated platforms for far-right propaganda and destroying civilised public discourse?

Also ich bin ja prinzipiell dafür, dass Deutschland da jetzt was eigenes baut, und sei es nur aus dem Grund, zu sehen, wie Frankreich dann wiedermal alle ihre Planungen umwirft, um plötzlich Spezifikationenumsetzen zu wollen, die sie in Kooperation mit Deutschland noch angelehnt haben (siehe: APACHE -> Taurus/SCALP-EG, MAV -> Boxer/VBCI, ECF -> Typhoon/Rafale etc.)

"gerne wieder die Kanone bauen wollen" heißt in dem Fall aber ein sinnvolleres Kaliber als das, was KNDS nur deshalb plant, weil Nexter da schon was passendes in Entwicklung hat...

Nachricht einfach auf den Titel reduzieren, Instrumentalisierung erledigt. Gegenargumente, und sei es nur, "ließ den nächsten Satz auch mit", lässt die kognitive Dissonanz eh nicht zu.
