German FM Says the Quiet Part: “We Are Fighting a War with Russia”
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 01/25/2023 | Richard Abelson

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. ***

As usual, your side has to resort to stupid name calling

You started out the name-calling festivities with "You must be reading Russian propaganda before you take your meds".

I figured that was a "go sign" for calling out your mindless Ukie ponyplop.

The guys at the Duran have said more than a few times that Merkel was negotiating for NATO turds trapped in the Debaltseve kettle with thousands of AFU troops.

LOL!

Tell him that zElenskyy personally signed the bridge, and he'll pull out his wallet so fast it will catch on fire. :)

You guys are simply nuts and cite "the Duran" as though it were the word of God.

You do realize that using self-referential claims that are not falsifiable is a sign of mental illness, right? It's like a pro-Putin asylum around here.

The “globalists and neocons” wanted partner with Putin on a new Iran nuke deal. Doing that would bust Trump’s excellent middle east policy and Boeing could sell airplanes to Iran, etc. Ukraine has always been a backwater issue. Putin got greedy and the Ukrainians fought back. So here we were are.

“The next big hurdle will now be the fighter jets,” Defense Ministry adviser Yuriy Sak told Reuters.

U.S. fighters would be a “dramatic upgrade” to Ukrainian air capabilities and likely force the Russians back, Hudson Institute senior fellow Rebeccah Heinrichs told the Daily Caller News Foundation

The Duran was around long, long before you started spewing your neoconned swill on FR, froggie.

The only war going on is between colluding Deep States and their populations.

Which is why Trump is so reviled by those same Deep State bureaucrats.

Beccy Heindlick appears to have missed her calling on the Ukrainian or Russian military general staffs...

A world war that’ll go hot with nukes probably in the second half of 2023. Hope everyone’s ready.

They are not fighting this war.
Make no mistake I’m against any country that invades and kills the citizens of another.
That includes my own country USA in Vietnam or Bush #2 in Iraq.
Germany is looking to the threat of Russia.
I think their grandmothers remember the rapes.

Russia is the most corrupt nation in Europe and of course more corrupt than Ukraine in world rankings.

South Vietnam was invading North Vietnam?

The Bidens found Ukraine the ideal place for their scams. That alone speaks volumes about the level of corruption in the country.

“Germany is looking to the threat of Russia.”

************

Well, Germany didn’t see Russia as a threat when they allowed themselves to become heavily dependent on Russia energy. Very short memories apparently.

Now the cat is out of the Bag—how soon before the following starts?
1. A New Draft for all young people 18 to 24 in America.
2. Scrap drives for war materials.
3. Round ups of Russian Nationals or anyone who opposes war.
4. Patriotic Movies, Top Gun 3.0!
5. USA Flags everywhere.
6. Jobs, jobs, jobs.
7. All factories close to build tanks and robot soldiers.
8. Rationing of goods, like eggs, milk, meat, wheat.
9. Martial Law—Looters shot—as enemy agents.
10. War Bonds taken automatically from paychecks.
It will be glorious—until it isn’t.
