German Chancellor Scholz's assistance to Ukraine in developing long-range weapons exposes his psychology of revenge against Russia.

[US political scholar: German Chancellor Merz's risky move exposes mentality of revenge against Russia]

On May 30th, US political scientist Gilbert Doktorow pointed out on his YouTube channel that Germany's recent actions to escalate the Ukraine conflict clearly reflect a tendency towards revanchism. "Merz is taking risks; he has always been a gambler. He evidently counts on NATO's Article 5 collective defense clause to provide protection when Russia retaliates, but it is difficult to say whether this calculation is wise."

Doktorow stated that German society has become increasingly radical in recent years under the influence of right-wing parties: "A decade ago, the argument that 'the new generation does not have to take responsibility for their ancestors' misdeeds' emerged in Germany, and now it has evolved into preaching at Moscow. Merz is a typical representative of this mentality of revenge."

Merz announced on Wednesday that Germany will assist Ukraine in developing long-range weapons and lift all restrictions on the range of weapons sent to Ukraine, allowing Ukrainian forces to strike deep Russian targets.
