I expected nothing less from Schröder.

[pgkdan]

I’m sure he blames the Czech’s for Sudetenland too.

[1rudeboy]

Well, it’s about time someone asked you to start working for your rubles, Gerhard.

[Porterville]

you gotta love europe.... I like the nachos.... ... or is it .... no ... i hate europe.

[ken21]

there’s probably some truth to that. the georgians have been unfair to the abkazians and ossetians; their mutual hatreds go back centuries.

this said, does europe want cheaper gas and oil?

will europe defend the pipeline?

i don’t think so, from what i read in the euro press.

He described Putin as a good democrat as the rest of the world was starting to seriously doubt his democratic credentials, and took a lucrative job at a Gazprom subsidiary company after leaving German political office.

Well, he did have to find a new revenue stream after that Iraq Oil for Food scheme came to an end in 2003.

[Maelstorm]

Once a leftist always a leftist.

[KarlInOhio]

I guess Putin needed a puppet for the hand he's not using for Medvedev.

[Enchante]

Wow, we knew Schroeder was Putin’s whore but this is too much. He thinks he has to not only sell his body to Putin but also pretend to ‘love’ his client. What a pathetic grovelling socialist POS.

[Chgogal]

Comrade Schroeder is on Putin's payroll.

[JimSEA]

The Soviet Union is back. Their oil money is going to solidify Putin's political hold and rebuild the military. Intense nationalism and socialist control of business as compared to Communism? Well you have more efficiency and the western financing is a big help.

It will take some rhetorical adjustment but I expect the useful idiots in America to fall into line directly. After all aren't Georgia, the Baltic States, Poland and the Ukraine just in Russia's legitimate "sphere of influence". You just can't expect Russia to tolerate hostile governments on her borders. I'll bet someone besides Schröder is soon at Putin's side. Obama, perhaps?

[Tailback]

Schroder is in bought and paid for by Putin. Just another Marionette on strings pulled by petrodollars.

Just another politician that sells out his own country for the highest bidder.

Same ol’ song and dance.

[NordP]

Headline = DUH

Isn't this the same Schröder that literally works for Putin's oil extortionists? The Germans ought to disown him.

>>>“I reject the idea of demonising Russia. I consider Russia as a part of Europe,” he said.

chancellor angela merkel contributed to this invasion by rejecting georgia,

as did speaker of the house nancy pelosi in not supporting the u.s. policy of president george bush.

[LibFreeOrDie]

From http://www.answers.com/topic/gerhard-schr-der :

“Schroder combined his profession and his politics, becoming noted for defending Red Army Faction terrorist Horst Mahler in a parole hearing... By 1978, he had completely embraced mainstream Marxism and was busy organizing protests against the United States and the deployment of NATO missiles in Germany.”

[Uncle Miltie]

Schroeder is a payling of the Russian Gas Mob.

Blowhard Schroeder was a Bader-Meinhof stooge so it’s no surprise..

[pierrem15]

Wie sagt man “sock puppet” auf Deutsch?
