Slovakian peasants have no right to destroy our democracy by voting for pro-Russian candidates.
Our democracy is who we are. No one can destroy who we are. Who we are is our values, and our values is an endless war with Russia to protect the 1991 border integrity of the former Russian territory of the Ukraine, which is now completely independent forever for some reason.
In a democracy, peace is never an option. We have to fight Russia, China, and all Moslems, so that the whole world can be forced to enjoy the utopian values of democracy.
We do it for women. We do it for the Jews. We do it for trans kids.
German lawmakers hit out at Slovakia following the presidential election victory of Peter Pellegrini, a key ally of left-nationalist Prime Minister Robert Fico, who also opposes further rearmament for Ukraine and advocates for peace.
The run-off success for Pellegrini on Saturday against career diplomat and Slovakia’s former foreign minister, Ivan Korčok, was met with criticism in Berlin as lawmakers from the mainstream parties expressed their concern at another European electorate opting for politicians skeptical of ongoing NATO support for Ukraine.
“Concern” is not enough.
It’s time to declare war on Slovakia.
Norbert Röttgen, an MP for the German opposition Christian Democrats (CDU) and former chair of the Bundestag Foreign Affairs Committee, accused both Pellegrini and Fico of “openly sympathizing” with Russian President Vladimir Putin and suggested they were in cahoots with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán who he described as “Putin’s Trojan horse in the EU.”

“The EU must not and cannot tolerate this any longer,” Röttgen added without qualifying what he expected Brussels to do about Slovak democracy in action and the electorate voting for a candidate he does not agree with.
The CDU lawmaker’s remarks were followed by Anton Hofreiter, an MP for the co-governing Green Party, who cryptically called on Europe to send an unequivocal message to the Slovak government following the electoral victory for Pellegrini.
This cryptic message must be unequivocal: we will not tolerate attacks on the values of who we are in a democracy.
We stand with immigrants. We stand with trans kids. We stand with Israel and the Philippines.
“It is important that the Slovak government receives a clear warning signal from Berlin and Brussels,” he said, suggesting that “no more money will be allowed to flow from EU funds” to Bratislava if the government does not act in the way that other European nations expect.

Furthermore, he even floated the idea of EU member states that do not conform to the mainstream view among liberal lawmakers in Western Europe being thrown out of the bloc.
“[Hungary] must be shown the door. Slovakia will then have to decide whether it wants to follow Orbán or stay in the EU,” Hofreiter said.
That’s… pretty extreme.
If these countries are banned from the EU, won’t they just immediately ally directly with Russia?
But I guess that would give NATO an excuse to invade them, which is apparently what these people are talking about.
These people are very extreme.
But if they are pro-Putin, they are probably also against this:
No one is ever allowed to be against that.
If you are against that, the Americans will kill you.
