Former national security adviser John Bolton on Monday knocked Germany over its “incredibly disappointing” performance throughout Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“I think Germany’s performance throughout this war has been incredibly disappointing,” Bolton said in an appearance on CNN’s “This Morning.”

As Russia continues its attacks on Ukraine in the nearly yearlong war, Poland is pushing to supply Kyiv with German-built Leopard tanks — but Berlin, as the weapon maker, needs to sign off on the move before the tanks are sent to a non-NATO country.

The hesitation to greenlight the tanks indicates that a “sea change” in Germany’s defense policy “needs to happen,” Bolton said.

Who cares what the irrelevant War-Monger has to say or thinks.

Total waste of breath.

Well, that's because Merkel jumped into bed with Putin, and stupidly made Germany dependent on Russian energy.

Flashback:

GERMANS LAUGH AT TRUMP when he warns "Germany will become totally dependent Russian energy"

As everybody knows I'm no Trump fan, BUT he was 100% right on this issue!

Didn’t he declare his candidacy for President? Not a single word in the article about it.

It's Germany, they're supposed to disappoint in wars.

History will be very unkind to war daddy John Bolton and his band of neo-clowns.

We know. You are anti-Trump, are totally into the Forever War, and you love Pedo Joe.

“How much war do you want?”
Bolton: “Yes.”

Maybe Germany wants to use its tanks to defend Germany. What’s wrong with that.

Bolton is upset because there are wars in just some places, and not in every place.

Hang in there, John. The combination of an incompetent president + neocons in Congress might eventually get you what you want.

I can perfectly understand Germanies reluctance givn their history...and Bolton should know better. But then Bolton is a warmonger thru and thru.

Interesting to see our resident Globalist warmongers (yes, Snake, I consider you to be one) making common cause with slithering creatures such as Bolton. Just sayin’.

Bolton has lost touch with reality.
Maybe the Germans want to think twice about escalating this war.

So what part of Germany’s energy policy under Merkel was NOT wrong?

Reading between the lines, I’d say Bolton thinks Germany has been incredibly disappointing. Just basing that on a headline and five repetitions in the excerpt.
