"Are you really sure you want to do this?"
Posted on 01/25/2023 12:37:20 PM PST by thegagline
Coming on the heels of Germany’s announcement to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock has declared “we are fighting a war with Russia” at a meeting of the European Council.
“We have to do more also on tanks,” Baerbock said. “But the most important, crucial part is that we do it together, and we do not do the blame game in Europe, because we are fighting a war against Russia, and not against each other.” NATO countries have so far scrupulously avoided insinuating that they are direct participants in the regional border conflict over ethnic Russian territories in Eastern Ukraine.
42-year-old Baerbock is known for her gaffes and child-like, garbled speech. Still, she is the most popular politican in Germany, despite the fact she was found to have fudged her CV and received her Master’s degree from the London School of Economics after only one year, despite not having earned a bachelor’s degree. Her master’s thesis remains lost. She received a €40,000 scholarship from the Green Party foundation 2009-2012 to attend LSE.
*** Baerbock patron George Soros also attended London School of Economics, which is part of the Open Society University Network. Baerbock is also a member of the European Council on Foreign Relations, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations’ Atlantic Bridge, the German Marshall Fund, and currently a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum. ***

Sounds a bit like Kamala, if not biden!!!!
Deutschland needs to keep her tanks at home, for potential use in necessary wars. And she needs to promote more responsible and intelligent leaders. Ditto for the USA! Make peace with Russia, and stay OUT of a potential WW3!!!!
Keep hoping, it will.
So far, the Russians have been circumspect in not attacking our equipment. With this decision to send tanks, that will change.
The satellites are the first targets. Then the AWACs.
"Are you really sure you want to do this?"
You just can't accept the fact that the lowly Ukrainians are slowly defeating Russia, can you?
His target audience for his silly Ukraine posts is freepers who just fell off the turnip truck... 
It’s a World War, in slow motion.

They’re trained here, in Poland, Germany and the UK. No special sauce required.
Except this time Germans will win.
*************
They are 0 for 2, with devastating consequences in both losses. Of all countries on the planet they should be the most hesitant to engage in wars.
“The German Army in fighting Russia will be like an elephant attacking an army of ants. The elephant will kill thousands, even millions of ants, but he will in the end be overcome by their numbers and be eaten to the bone.” - Colonel Bernd von Kleist
Yes, that is the worst possible outcome.
Yesterday I put this on a religious site here:
Pray for the peace of Europe. Incredibly after the experience of the two world wars a new European war is steadily spinning up in east central Europe where the two previous world wars generated. Wars are like typhoons, they escalate to higher and higher levels of violence until they stabilize at a permanently high level of violence and they spread geographically as they escalate in violence. This was why US Cold War diplomacy with the east bloc was so cautious to preclude the escalation, geographic spread cycle from ever starting, So pray now for the peace of Europe.
The only response was to be twitted as this site was only for praying ‘for the Peace of Jerusalem’.
In general posting such common sense on any of the Uke postings just produces rude, stupid abuse or repitition of interventionist platitudes that have been recycled since 1940 on the necessity of ‘stopping aggression before it spreads’. The lack of responsible discussion on tis vital subject of the Ukraine war is what is most depressing and leads me to believe many and maybe most Americans are a lost cause on trying to really think about anything. Our southern border is collapsing and the Senate Majority leader pronounces the Ukraine as the greatest challenge the US faces. Our leaders are compromised or hubrustic fools and the citizenry are just fools period
Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries on earth. Its truly made to risk WWIII over it.
Talk about a skewed risk/reward ratio!
Both sides spout such propaganda that I don’t pretend to know or care who is winning.
I guarantee that there are US SpecOps in country. Working in conjunction with CIA and PMC assets.
I count PMCs since almost all are combat MOS Veterans.
I understand if you don’t.
The situation isn’t binary. Too many FReepers are becoming truly simple minded with respect to issues.
Life is usually gray.
I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, froggie.
Merkel had to cut a deal with Putin and the boys back in 2015 to bail out the NATO guys surrounded in Debaltseve with the AFU.
You must be reading Russian propaganda before you take your meds. The claim NATO troops were fighting in Ukraine in 2014 is even more daft.
As a kid, I got a real kick out of his show(s) which were in reruns. Also, Dr Demento would play his stuff.
Your opponents on this thread weren't born yesterday, mouthbreather.
Germany is good at starting wars…and not so good at finishing them.
As usual, your side has to resort to stupid name calling because all you show up here to do is act as Putin’s official or volunteer manure spreaders.
No. It is called "Plausible deniability". We were never there don't you know.
