I have to go to Madrid…
Sorry.
> Scheduling conflicts....
Yes, the German PM has a sock drawer that needs sorting.
Another Biden foreign policy failure.
Did they even try to bump the Stacey Abrams meeting?
S'OK - Joek Headroom wouldn't have been able to make it because of a full diaper...
They need Russia and we’re weak and crumbling.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is a Marxist since his college days, when the communist East German Government invited him to visit as a leader of an anti-NATO, pro disarmament student group. He was likely an asset of the KGB back in those days.
His election was a major green light for Putin to invade the Ukraine. Their boy Olaf will not lift a finger to stop Vlad.
If Putin captures the gas pipelines through the Ukraine, he will strengthen his growing ability to choke off the Europeans energy supplies at will. This year, Germany will become a net importer of electricity, for the first time since the post WWII reconstruction, as they shut down the last of their nuclear power plants, and continue to shut down coal plants.
Every Winter, Putin will be able to extract some more concessions by holding gas supplies hostage, as he has been fond of doing with the former Republics of the USSR.
Why would the Germans...or anyone else...want to talk to this mediocre fool?
Germany is quietly giving the middle finger to Blinken and Biden.
Note that just a few days ago, Germany sent its FM Annalena Baerbock, to Russia to meet with Russian FM Lavrov, and they issued several joint statements about Nordstream 2, and need for Russian gas, Ukraine and the “Minsk agreement,” and platitudes about peace and stability in E. Europe.
The puppet Biden, acting on behalf of DC neocons, is again going to find himself looking like a fool.
Three times is one to many.
Germany does not want a third eastern front, and needs Russia for energy.
For any FReepers with friends or family in the region. Get out. Go west. Like France or Spain.
So Biden got the old Stacy Abrams “my schedule is too full to see you now” treatment.
ha ha
Biden is an albatross. Nobody wants to associate with him - obviously afraid the stench of failure will rub off. Even Stacy Abrams spurned him.
Germany will not join in any war against Russia, nor will it allow its territory to be used to launch any strikes against Russian targets. Russia is looked upon more favorably in Germany than the U.S. is.
