The nation's far right Afd party finished in second place, winning 152 seats and roughly 21% of the vote.

The Afd was aiming its fire at the CDU at the center right, which just won this election has to be destroyed, totally dismantled that they invoked Trump , they invoked Elon Musk and they said they they led the way that they destroyed the GOP as it existed before.

But the Afd has quite a lot to to answer for, and there was no racial slurs that were used there. There was more anger directed toward actually toward center right politicians of Germany than immigrants.

The biggest concern in Europe is that we just won't have a seat at the table when the future of Ukraine and the security guarantees or not.

At the moment it's AUS Russian discussion, a Trump Putin discussion.
