What is their position on Russia's war in Ukraine, and NATO in general?

I am not German, but from what I can tell it's basically no arms for the defense of Ukraine, and no NATO rebuilding.

Is that correct? Just like AfD, extremely convenient for one particular country.

Three years ago, a pro-imperial Russian told me that we will see regime change in the West, before in Moscow. Looking around the EU at the moment, it turns out that he was correct. What an absolute tragedy.

This is Berlin city state government, not federal level. International/Foreign politics it outside of the scope.

I understand, as I was told this about AfD's recent performance as well. However, is this not an indication of what is to come in future national elections?

I mean, how does a local-only party plan to "nationalize housing?"

If this has zero bearing on future national policies, I would love to be talked down.
