Wolfgang Kubicki (*1952) has been a member of the lower house of the German parliament with breaks since 1990. And from his position he announced when Germany should send its ground army to Ukraine. According to an experienced politician, this should happen in a situation where Russia uses nuclear weapons.
“Use of nuclear weapons in Europe nuclear power has completely different challenges,” said the FDP politician. “We have to deal with the question of whether we actually have to treat Russia differently, not only economically, but also militarily,” Kubicki noted, adding that in the event of a Russian nuclear strike, there would be two options on the table everywhere. Either Ukraine surrenders immediately, or the French, as well as the Germans, send their soldiers to help the defending country.
According to Kubicky, in the case of the use of Russian tactical nuclear weapons, German society will also be divided.
“Then half of the German population will say: We will no longer supply weapons to Ukraine because we do not want to be the target of a Russian nuclear attack. The other half will say: Now we have to get massively involved because we cannot allow Ukraine to be massacred like this.’
According to Kubicky, the second of these options should be chosen. Kubicki emphasized that Putin and the Russian General Staff, in coordination with the Germans, French, British and Americans, must understand that this would mean crossing the red lines, after which the West will proceed to a strong response.
Kubicky also drew attention to himself during a tough political clash with Green Youth spokeswoman Svenja Appuhnová.
About the fierce clash between these two politicians the servers of the German newspaper Die Welt reported and Focus magazine.
Appuhnová, for example, claims that the German political representation should cancel the legislative debt brake and start the German economy at the cost of massive debt. “The rest of the world is making fun of Germany because it is holding on to the debt brake. How do we change that?” she asked.
Svenja Appuhnová complained that the “inherent flaw” of the coalition of social democrats, liberals from the FDP and the Greens was the unresolved “financial issue”. Now the federal government is failing “on a grand scale” to deliver justice. According to her, the masses are experiencing the biggest real wage losses since World War II. “It’s a really big problem when the traffic lights don’t find any answers at all,” the Greens politician complained.
In contrast, Kubicki calls, for example, for the setting of a flexible retirement age, which is completely unacceptable for a Green politician.
Its party model ensures a flexible entry age. His own wife, for example, retired early and had to accept that she would receive fewer pension points.
“I suppose your wife didn’t have to worry about going to collect the bottles,” the Green Youth spokeswoman remarked rudely on a personal level.
Kubicki countered that here there is a clash between a young hot heart and a cold experienced mind.
