For a long time, Hungary's President Victor Orban was seen as the rebel in the socialist house of the European Union. Now the conservative has gained a lot of wind beneath his wings in recent months. A few days ago, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni came out in favor of not supporting an attack on Russia, followed by Holland, Austria, Portugal will come out with a similar statement, and to everyone's surprise: Germany, the crumbling giant of the European Union, also refuses an active attack on Russian territory.
While yesterday in the European Parliament they applauded the announcement to release further offensive weapons, at least the majority of parliamentarians so far, it became clear that with the newly elected US President Donald Trump, the faction of reason, those who want to end this war, has received a massive tailwind.
While England, which is deeply involved in the financing of Ukraine and desperately wants to escalate this conflict to harvest russian reperations and cover a looming default, is now floundering, the European Union is likely to break further into two blocs: the centralist socialist bloc in Brussels and those who want regional sovereignty!

I have always had the impression that Scholz never wanted to escalate the conflict with Russia but was coerced into it. Now, with the elections in February and a new US admin around the corner, he has no other choice than coming out against further escalation.
Gone are the days of Schröder and Chirac, who never got involved in Irak. I remember Schröder even once accused Bush of lying about him agreeing with him on the subject: "Der amerikanische Präsident sagt nicht die Wahrheit" he once said unambiguously.
