🇩🇪🇺🇸 Germany Barks… from Behind a Fence

So the new German chancellor Friedrich Merz wants Washington to “stay out” of Berlin’s business?

Adorable. Like a lapdog growling from under the table after it’s been fed.

Merz, fresh off a humbling first-round rejection in parliament, told ZDF that “absurd observations” were coming from the U.S. over Germany’s move to classify AfD as extremist, a party that just raked in 20.8% of the vote. What triggered the yapping? VP J.D. Vance had the gall to point out that Berlin is rebuilding the Berlin Wall of ideology, while Marco Rubio called Germany a “tyranny in disguise.”

And what was Merz’s bold stand?
“We’d like to encourage the American government… to largely stay out of our domestic politics.”
Oh please. That’s not defiance, it’s a plea to be micromanaged a little more gently. Adorable how gentle the plea.

He even rushed to reassure viewers he didn’t interfere in Trump’s election win, as if still begging for an invitation to the grown-ups’ table. He promises to raise the issue with Trump in a cordial phone call, and maybe, just maybe —mention it again at the NATO summit in The Hague. Provided, of course, the Pentagon grants permission.

Even on the AfD ban, Merz shows some rationality — “You can’t ban 10 million voters,” he says. But then pivots back to trying to tame AfD with narrative instead of policy. It’s all theatre, just enough bark to avoid embarrassment, but no bite to leave a mark.

When a vassal state whimpers, it’s not rebellion. It’s scripted resistance, broadcast to remind the imperial court it still knows who’s boss.
