I'm worried of what European defense will look like if some day France, Germany and UK are all ruled by populist parties with historical ties / understanding attitude towards to Russia & skepticism towards NATO and EU. Not good for us here in Eastern frontier of EU.

Traditional parties have failed badly in economic and migration policies, and Russia does its best to exploit this. They can't win on a battlefield against united Europe, but if small Eastern European countries are left without support, then Russia has much better odds against them.

Liberal party is sacrificing everything just to create a vote bank. They know immigrants will always vote them as Right don't like immigrants.

Irony is that the after naturalisation, the immigrant actually votes for the Right parities. That happened in US as well as in Germany

Depends on who is going to give freebies. These politicians are making people poor and giving freebies to win elections ...

If you think about it, it take years to naturalisation and also has to qualify for that. As an example in Germany you will not be qualified for naturalisation if you’re on social benefits.

The immigrants that become naturalised are 99% of the cases hard working people that build their lives from scratch and want the prosperity for their families. That way they don’t need any freebies and just wants a functioning and growing economy where their children would have a better future

There is no such thing and European defence. There’s never going to be a scenario where if Germany was ever attacked or invaded, France or UK would send their solders to die protecting Germans and vice versa.

We see that in Ukraine. No other European country would send their soldiers to die in a battle fields to protect Ukrainians

Perhaps, but at least there is material and financial support to Ukraine. I doubt AfD would continue it, or provide it for other EU member states if attacked.

Regardless of AfD would come into power or not, that financial support is not gonna there for long. The new budget for 2027 has been proposed in German parliament and they are borrowing more than 200 billion Euros to balance the deficit. In simple terms Germany doesn’t have money anymore to handout to fight the wars in other countries

> would send their soldiers to die

transforming a cold war into an full war.
