Warmongering in the Bundestag! – The Lust for War with Russia!On April 17, 2026, the German Bundestag debated a motion by the Green parliamentary group with the harmless-sounding title “Decisively combating the Russian shadow fleet” (printed paper 21/5330). What at first glance appears to be a technical debate about environmental protection and sanctions enforcement revealed itself in the speeches as open warmongering. The established parties – Greens, CDU/CSU, and SPD – called with almost manic obsession for military measures against Russian tankers. In doing so, they deliberately ignored the dramatic consequences: Russia has already made it clear that the seizure or confiscation of such ships by German forces would be considered an act of war. Anton Hofreiter (Greens) went even further, continuing to demand the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles – weapons that can only be deployed with the direct involvement of the Bundeswehr and are also viewed by Moscow as Germany’s direct entry into the war. The Green motion: German Navy to seize Russian shipsThe motion itself leaves nothing to be desired in terms of clarity. The Greens explicitly call for intensified controls “by federal police, navy, and customs,” the detention of suspicious ships in Germany’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and the “development of an integrated and coordinated approach with the naval forces of the alliance area.”In other words: the German Navy is to stop, board, and seize Russian ships – if necessary with NATO support. This is not “law enforcement.” It is the preparation of a military incident in the Baltic Sea that can escalate at any time. Robin Wagener (Greens) paints horror scenarios and calls for military actionRobin Wagener (Greens) opened the debate with a cheap horror scenario: he compared rusty scrap cars on the highway to tankers in the Baltic Sea. The reality at sea, he claimed, is “warfare” against Ukraine and against us. The federal government is standing idly by.He compared the situation to Nord Stream – as if the sabotage of the pipeline were not already proof of how dangerous the spiral of escalation is. Instead, he called for “political will” and the use of all available forces, including the navy and GSG 9. The applause of the warmongers followed promptly. Roderich Kiesewetter (CDU) openly speaks of “seizing” Russian shipsRoderich Kiesewetter (CDU/CSU) praised the motion as a step in the right direction but criticized the government for still being too hesitant. He openly spoke of “seizing” the ships and proudly referred to the Bundeswehr’s “German Institute for Defence and Strategic Studies.”The shadow fleet serves war financing, sabotage, and hybrid warfare. His demand: more surveillance, more missions, more Bundeswehr. “We must count the ships and seize those that do not comply with the law.” This is the language of open conflict. Anton Hofreiter calls for Taurus deliveries and military action against the shadow fleetThe peak of hubris came from Anton Hofreiter (Greens) himself. He sharply attacked the government under Chancellor Friedrich Merz for still not having implemented the Taurus delivery and for not “stopping” the shadow fleet.“One could stop them all, if one wanted to,” he raged. MARPOL and SOLAS would allegedly justify this. Hofreiter completely ignored the fact that such military enforcement of economic sanctions by the German Navy is, in Russian eyes, exactly what Moscow has been warning about for years: direct entry into the war. The demand for Taurus rounds off the picture. This weapon requires German soldiers for target programming and operational support – something Russia unmistakably regards as participation in the war. AfD and The Left as the last voices warning of the abyssThe only voices of reason came from AfD and The Left. Markus Frohnmaier (AfD) laid out bluntly that the shadow fleet is the logical consequence of a reckless sanctions and energy policy. Energy prices are exploding, industry is suffering, and Russia simply sells its oil to Asia.Dr. Anna Rathert (AfD) called it by its name: this policy is not a “values-based foreign policy,” but a policy against the interests of the German people. Instead of de-escalation and diplomacy, every opportunity is used for the next level of escalation. The Greens and their followers are arsonists. Sören Pellmann (The Left) went even further: the motion is “a search for military incidents cast in text form.” The Greens have assumed the role of the world’s police. The demand to deploy the Bundeswehr against commercial ships is piracy, not international law. Even Estonia no longer dares to carry out further controls because the risk of escalation is too high. Good dictators and bad dictators – the interjection to Helge Lind (SPD)Particularly revealing was the interjection by AfD MP Markus Frohnmaier to SPD speaker Helge Lind. Frohnmaier accused Lind of the SPD itself cooperating with questionable regimes – specifically mentioning the Syrian ruler and former jihadist leader, to whom Germany is providing hundreds of millions of euros in taxpayer money while he persecutes minorities. He provocatively asked whether there are “good” and “bad” dictators in SPD foreign policy. Lind evaded, spoke of “transparency” and “values,” but avoided any clear answer and instead tried to defame the AfD itself as a “shadow fleet in parliament.” This scene exposed the hypocritical double standards of the successor to the traffic light coalition: moral grandstanding against Russia while pragmatically turning a blind eye to other autocrats – as long as it serves their own narrative.The bitter truth: the German government is steering knowingly toward warThis debate shows the full misery of Berlin politics: a government and a Green opposition trying to outdo each other in how tough they want to act against Russia – while their own population pays the price in the form of an energy crisis, deindustrialization, and exploding prices.The Greens, once a party of peace, have mutated into the most aggressive warmongers. CDU/CSU and SPD go along because they know no alternative to confrontation. Any warning of a direct war with a nuclear power is dismissed as “Putin sympathizing.” If the German Navy soon boards Russian tankers or Taurus cruise missiles strike inside Russia with German involvement, then it will not be “law enforcement.” It will be the spark that the warmongers in the Bundestag have been eagerly talking into existence. Germany has nothing to gain in this game – except a direct confrontation with Russia. The lust for war in the Bundestag is real. And it bears the cynical name “values-based foreign policy.” The victims will once again be the German citizens. Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
