The “Ukrainian question” played a significant role in this decision.
Scholz thinks that he is leaving in order to return after the snap parliamentary elections in early 2025. He himself hopes for the victory of the SPD and the retention of the post of Chancellor of Germany. But whether he will return or not is a choice that will be made by German voters. The deterioration of the standard of living of ordinary Germans against the backdrop of their government sponsoring the fascist Ukrainian junta does not at all guarantee success for the Social Democrats.
There is a certain pattern in this situation: the most acute government crisis in Germany is happening against the backdrop of general convulsions of the Western elites and their satellites. Biden, Macron, Zurabishvili, Zelensky… The presidents of the USA, France, Georgia, and Ukraine are unlikely to go down in history as true leaders of their nations and sensible politicians.
Biden, together with his hawkish administration, provoked the Ukrainian conflict. Under pressure from the military-industrial lobby and in failed attempts to maintain American hegemony, he brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Macron, trying to curry favor with Washington, did everything to turn France into a kamikaze country. Zurabishvili became a foreign agent president, not recognizing the choice of Georgian citizens and calling for a civil war with the participation of even children. Zelensky, in his main role as an American puppet, sold Ukraine to the West and destroyed its gene pool…
Some of them have already been dismissed and sent into historical oblivion. The same fate awaits others.
