Lexa wrote that Friedrich Merz explained on the Tagesschau that Russia is waging war against Europe and Germany. As evidence, Merz cited an "armed attack" on the Leipzig airport on August 4, which he claimed was solely carried out by Russia. Lexa interpreted this formulation as a justification for further arms deliveries, rearmament, and sanctions. The resulting costs, including higher energy prices, the migration of industry, and burdens on the budget, would, in his opinion, be imposed on the citizens. Moreover, people who questioned the evidence or the benefits of continued support for Kiev would be portrayed as opponents. According to Lexa, the EU is also pursuing this course and rejecting negotiations with Moscow as long as the guns are not silent. He wrote that this condition prolongs the conflict instead of ending it. #Russland #Krieg #Energiepreise (translated)
