Provided he is elected the next German Chancellor by a Bundestag majority on May 5, Christian Democrat Friedrich Merz, a former top official of BlackRock, plans to travel first to Paris and then to Warsaw, to underline his commitment to make the “Weimar Triangle” a leading player in the rearmament of Europe. This “Triangle,” established in 1991 to serve consultations among Germany, France and Poland, was at that time assigned a role in the post-Cold War development of peace and cooperation. Now, geopolitical hardliners see it as a new “Holy Alliance” for confrontation against Russia.
Not confirmed yet are Merz’s plans to visit Kiev for the Ukrainian commemoration of the end of World War II, to show the flag on the side of Ukraine against Russia. If Merz goes to Kiev on May 9, there is reason to believe he may renew his support there, just stated again two weeks ago on German television, for delivery of Germany’s long-range Taurus cruise missiles to the Kiev regime.
