1/5 Should Germany go by what Olaf Doltz and Ursula Von Der Leyen and others may want or what the people want?

A poll by itself would carry only so much weight, but this lines up with the innumerable protests (many available to watch on YT but ignored by Biden regime media) that have taken place throughout Germany (for months now and in many Europeancountries) with the left, right, and center protesting their potential NATO membership and sending military aid to Ukraine.

3/5 Trump publicly confirmed the Obama State Dept was behind the Maidan uprising in Ukraine [which has led to all of this mess].

Obama/Biden/Nuland were against Ukrainian sovereignly aligning with Russia pre-2014 before they were for it in Feb. 2022.

4/5 “An embarassing phone conversation about Ukraine politics between two high profile US diplomats has surfaced online. The audio clip of a woman and man is purportedly between US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt. The two people are heard discussing strategies to work with the three main opposition figures. She is heard telling him that she doesn’t think boxer- Vitaly Klitschko should be in a new government and also saying “f**k the EU.” The date of the conversation was not specified but the events it describes appeared to have taken place in the last days of January. It is not known who uploaded the audio clip and reports that it was the Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin have not been confirmed. This episode will be embarassing for the US as President Barack Obama has denied the administration is manipulating the Ukrainian opposition. Report by Ashley Fudge.

Partly, and partly because of the seemingly unending neocon warmongering, and partly because of this:

Pointless poll, Ukraine will not be allowed to join NATO while at war. Its why Putin invaded Georgia, and Ukraine.

Sad isn’t it.

But thankfully there are chickenhawk losers who will support just about anything that Nuland, Sholtz, Von Der Leyen, Soros, etc, support and are too blood thirsty to bring themselves to stop supporting neocon military interventionism all over the globe: /sarc.

Its Germany, majority of Germans refuse to defend NATO member even if attacked. Its why Poland is beefing up its military.

Poll: Less Than Half of Germans Support Defending NATO Allies

Against the backdrop of the current geopolitical situation, the survey asked expressly how Germany’s NATO alliance obligation ought to be handled in the event of an outbreak of war affecting another NATO country.

To this question, a minority of 45% of Germans favor getting involved militarily, in accordance with Article 5 of the NATO alliance treaty, in the event of an attack on an ally. In the eastern German states, this figure drops to a mere 30%. As for the entire country, 35% of those surveyed said it is better to “keep out of it” if a fellow NATO ally is attacked. One in five remained undecided on this issue.
