Well, probably with the same goal that Hitler had – to dominate all of Europe. And to try to inflict a strategic defeat on the Soviet Union, in the case of Hitler, and in the case of modern Germany and the chorus of main soloists from the European Union and NATO – on the Russian Federation.”<\/em><\/p>\n \n Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The foreign minister accused Chancellor Friedrich Merz of seeking to transform Germany back into “the main military machine of Europe,”<\/em> citing his increasingly militaristic rhetoric.<\/p>\n Merz vowed to turn the Bundeswehr into the “strongest conventional army in Europe”<\/em> in a speech delivered less than a week after the world marked the 80th anniversary of the fall of the Third Reich in May.<\/p>\n “When a person in a country that committed the crimes of Nazism, fascism, the Holocaust, genocide says that Germany must again become a great military power, then of course he has an atrophy of historical memory, and this is very, very dangerous,”<\/em> Lavrov said.<\/p>\n \n Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This week, Merz stated that “we are not at war, but we are also no longer living in peace,”<\/em> and called for the confiscation<\/a> of Russia’s frozen assets to bolster Kiev.
