   Set aside ethics for a moment

   *Were* Trump to win, that's pretty much it for NATO. Germany and every other European NATO country would have to step up its contributions *massively*

   Ukraine would be in considerable danger of losing to Russia

   The FINANCIAL costs of all of that ALONE will blow a massive hole in Lindner's sacred “schwarze null" (debt brake)

   It's in Germany's (even FDP selfish style) interests that Harris wins. Full stop

     German Finance Minister Lindner (FDP) has done an interview with Handelsblatt

     Damn it's *grim*

     "Manche geben sich der Hoffnung hin, mit Kamala Harris würde alles einfacher werden als mit Donald Trump. Dazu gehöre ich nicht.”

     "Some people hope that everything will be easier with Kamala Harris than with Donald Trump. I am not one of them.”

     What sodding planet is he on?
