We see two heroes. One young, one old. One is fighting for our freedom. The other is the leader of the free world.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Joe Biden.

Their historical meeting in Washington shows the world the U.S. is standing absolutely and selflessly with Ukraine. Whatever the cost. Regardless of how Vladimir Putin rages. Regardless of what he threatens!

This courage and clarity must also become the basis of German politics. We must be able to defy any Kremlin leader.

It shouldn’t matter to us what they think or could think in Moscow. Only one thing should guide us: What will help our friends and allies?

Our fight can only be for one thing: Freedom. In Germany and in Europe!

But it is the U.S. (once again) that is defending these values for us Europeans.

It would be shameful if we also left this U.S. president to go it alone.

We need more heroism!


Wir sehen: zwei Helden. Einen jungen, einen alten. Der eine kämpft für unsere Freiheit. Der andere führt die freie Welt.

Wolodymyr Selenskyj und Joe Biden.

Ihr historisches Zusammenkommen in Washington zeigt der Welt: Amerika steht uneingeschränkt und selbstlos an der Seite der Ukraine. Koste es, was es wolle. EGAL, wie Putin wütet. EGAL, womit er droht!

Dieser Mut und diese Klarheit müssen endlich auch Grundlage der deutschen Politik werden. Wir müssen in der Lage sein, jedem Kreml-Herrscher zu trotzen.

Für uns darf nicht zählen, was man in Moskau denkt oder denken könnte. Uns darf nur eines leiten: Was hilft unseren Freunden und Verbündeten?

Unser Kampf kann nur der eine sein: der für die Freiheit. In Deutschland und in Europa!

Aber es sind (mal wieder) die USA, die diese Werte für uns Europäer verteidigen.

Beschämend wäre, wenn wir auch diesen US-Präsidenten damit alleinließen.

Wir brauchen mehr Heldenmut!
