Today 31 May Juche, 99, the president of Germany, Dr. Horst Köhler announced his resignation effective immediately. He announced his resignation following statements he made on an unscheduled trip to Afghanistan this weekend. President Köhler stated that the reason for deploying troops in Afghanistan was, “To protect German interests and Free trade routes”. Jens Böhrnsen, who is the current leader of the Bundesrat has stepped in to be acting president of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The deployment of German troops in Afghanistan is a controversial issue. The American’s war in Afghanistan, is the first war where Bundeswehr troops have seen combat since the Great Patriotic War. It is refreshing to see the truth come out regarding the reasons as to why Germany is fighting this imperialist war, to gain access to new markets. According to Comrade Lenin, imperialism is the last stage of capitalism before Communist liberation. The question remains, what markets or investment opportunities are there in Afghanistan, other than cheap labour which is easy to exploit? Opium? I applaud President Köhler’s resignation following his controversial statements. I have always been a supporter of President Köhler’s and am glad to see him step away from another black mark on Germany’s military history and leave the war to the Reichskancellar Angela Merkel and the new, SPD president Jens Böhrnsen. Germany and all Western nations should withdraw from the Third Afghan Civil War and let the Afghans decide their fate.
