The United States has significantly delayed the provision of military aid to Ukraine due to bipartisan disputes, and it has become impossible to even eliminate aid altogether. However, Britain and Germany are now standing up. Britain plans to increase military assistance to Ukraine, and even provide ** and form a joint fleet to support Ukraine's struggle for sea supremacy in the Black Sea and inflict significant damage on Russian forces. Britain intends to lead a military alliance against Ukraine. At the same time, Germany has shown its full willingness to support Ukraine, and it plans to increase military aid to Ukraine by raising domestic income taxes, even at the expense of ordinary Germans. German ministries and industries will cut budgets to provide military aid to Ukraine.
As a result of these moves, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was seen as the biggest loser at home and his political status declined. But what is Scholz's motives?Does he have great ambitions to make Germany an influential country in the world?In fact, Scholz is just a politician and cannot be a great statesman like Merkel. He is characterized by swaying from side to side and always trying to maintain balance. In the Merkel era, he was also an important ** trying to maintain balance. At present, Scholz's ruling coalition consists of center, left and right factions, so he can only try to find a balance. Since providing military aid to Ukraine is more in the interests of minorities within the alliance, such as the Greens, the Free Democrats, etc., Scholz can only try to strike a balance.
Thus, Ukraine may currently receive even more benefits from Germany than from the United States. Germany must be well aware that once the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates, Germany will become one of the countries that will suffer the most. Investing a lot of money will eventually lead to a series of problems, which will be extremely unfavorable for Germany. In addition, Germany will have to bear a heavy price, that is, a large number of Ukrainian refugees will pour into Germany, which will bring more serious challenges to social security in Germany. As a result, Germany is in a thankless situation, and now that it is already involved in the whirlpool of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Germany cannot easily get out, while the United States can get out of it all ways.
Scholz is known as a politician precisely because of his lack of vision and strategic vision, which will put Germany in an even more difficult situation.
