A German diplomat once best known for laughing at Donald Trump’s warning that Germany’s dependence on Russian energy would become a problem was unable to finish his speech at the Munich Security Conference as he apparently found the implications of emissary JD Vance’s message from the Trump White House too upsetting.
Top German diplomat Christoph Heusgen, infamous for being one of the group of chuckling Germans laughing off Donald Trump at a 2018 United Nations General Assembly broke down in tears on the podium at the Munich Security Conference as he gave the closing speech of the three-day event. Heusgen spoke in a conscious repudiation of U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s Friday speech, a strongly worded warning from the Trump White House that change is on the way and the present European norm of anti-democratic “Soviet” practices and forced mass migration would no longer be accepted.
Heusgen’s speech was a classic of the long-20th-century German trueism that “there is no alternative”, as Heusgen insisted the only option was to ignore Trump, double down, and keep going. Heusgen, once Chancellor Angela Merkel’s foreign and security policy advisor and then ambassador to the United Nations, said in English at the opening of his address:

OMG....a MAN CRYING OVER THIS....geesh.
Like teen that fines out he/she has to work for a living ,LOL
Has there been any world leader more openly vindicated than Donald Trump in the last thirty years, at least ?
And the really amazing thing is that all he did was use common sense. And thousands of public intellectuals and other “world leaders” took the opposite side.
So much for his dreams of prominence in an EU driven Global Order. If they don’t get their act together, Germany will get squashed by the Turks in their midst combined with those without.
Maybe the Poles will be nice and offer the Volksdeutsche safe haven.
He wants a one world government based upon totalitarian principals. He’s sad to see it slipping from his grasp.
How confident can you be in having leaders like this?
It’s not as if Trump didn’t give them a good 6+ years warning—and ask more nicely back then.
This guy’s speech was nebulous nonsense; it was sweet nothings.
Vance said “you guys are jailing people for debating your unjust norms” (or to that effect).
This German said (nebulously) “we’ve got to keep on jailing people for saying hurtful things” (or to similar effect).
The fantasy is strong in this one.
Hungary and Slovakia too.
They’ll need the troops.
Now there’s irony for you.
“Mein Fuhrer I Can Walk!”
Sounds like they got the message loud and clear..they are about to find themselves facing Russia after pulling all kinds of shady stuff under the guise of sanctions and Trump is basically telling them they are going to be on their own to face Russia while the US concentrates on China. A fitting suit for the EU to wear.
European ‘elites’ use third world Arabs as their ‘cheap labor’ like our ‘elites’ use third world castoffs for their cheap labor. They can cry if they want to...
I expect that the Biden Cabal made sure that Putin was paid well in energy prices for their destruction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Trump’s policies are making it clear that Germany can now pay to have it put back in, if they want it.
Consider what Merkel did to Germany with Heusgen on staff. He is a looser and Germany needs to replace him for the sake of the Country.
