#US, are indeed set. In my opinion, the chief open point is where the frontline will be frozen.
#FriedrichMerz and other #European leaders uttered surprise about the possibility of #US security guarantees for #Ukraine if a deal is struck. He mustn't be.

Offensichtlich hat #JensSpahn Spahn es immer noch nicht begriffen: Die Bedenken waren nie fundiert, sondern von Rechtsextemen konstruiert.
Mit dem "wir" kann er nur noch #FriedrichMerz und #CarstenLinnemann meinen. Er verteilt die Verantwortung bewusst auf andere.
