Russia has raised serious concerns over the incoming German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, as his statements hint at a potential return to a controversial past. Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, questions whether Merz's pledge to "assume responsibility again" signals a dangerous shift for Germany and the world. With tensions already high in global politics, Zakharova's remarks suggest that Merz’s leadership could revive one of Germany’s darkest historical periods. In this video, we break down the implications of Merz’s statements and what they mean for Germany, Russia, and international relations.

Germany Unleashes Ruthless Mockery on Trump, Putin, Far-right with Outrageous Carnival Floats

Germany’s famous Rose Carnival parades in Cologne and Düsseldorf took political satire to the next level, featuring giant floats mocking world leaders like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The parade also took aim at the far-right AfD party, the Ukraine war, and even the Catholic Church, sparking backlash. While many celebrated the bold satire, others found it controversial. Security was heightened due to recent terror attacks, but revelers still flooded the streets in massive numbers.

His political career saw setbacks under Angela Merkel, but he staged a strong comeback in 2022. With AfD securing 20.7% votes, coalition talks are crucial.
