BERLIN, Germany – German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has issued a stark warning to the United States, suggesting that diplomatic relations could be at risk following former U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial remarks on Ukraine and its President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Baerbock, a leading figure in Germany’s Green Party, has been a vocal advocate for continued Western military and financial support to Ukraine amid its ongoing war with Russia. However, Trump, who is expected to be the Republican nominee in the upcoming U.S. elections, has repeatedly expressed scepticism over America’s role in the conflict, hinting at a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy should he return to the White House.
In response, Baerbock, known for her staunch pro-Ukraine stance and interventionist foreign policy, suggested that Germany could reconsider its strategic ties with Washington if Trump’s approach undermines European security. “Germany cannot afford to align itself with a U.S. administration that abandons its commitment to defending democracy and stability in Europe,” Baerbock reportedly stated during a closed-door meeting, according to sources within the German Foreign Office.
Baerbock has consistently pushed for a hardline stance against Russia, calling for increased military aid to Ukraine and sanctions against Moscow. Her approach has made her one of Europe’s most outspoken critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin and has reinforced Germany’s commitment to the European Union’s pro-Ukraine policies.

Zimbabwe Mail? Old story too.
Once all the Germans were warlike and mean
But that couldn’t happen again
We taught them a lesson in nineteen eighteen
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then

Oh noes! NaughtZees on the rise!!!!
German threats aren’t what they used to be
Germany has a war hawk?
Has he considered classifying Islam as a terrorist organization and eradicating their country of them?
Excerpt from the article: “...former U.S. President Donald Trump...” Former? which planet are you on, hardfuuked, and your Zimbabwe minions?
I bet this is partly payback (for J.D.’s speech in Munich) for making German diplomat Christoph Heusgen cry.
“...who is expected to be the Republican nominee in the upcoming U.S. elections..” a little behind the times are we?
Well, she did threaten to invade Poland...
We had to fight Germany before.
This could be the newest way to help the budget—shut down a bunch of western European embassies.
If they think becoming the enemy of the US and Russia at the same time is clever we should not get in their way.

Huh?
whatevs Annie.
LOL! What are you gonna do honey - continue shirking and not providing for your own defense? Let’s be honest....you have nothing to threaten us with. You’ve just been a bunch of Drueckebergern for years.
We could bring our troops and equipment home from the many bases in Germany and Europe. That would save how much annually?
How old? I saw it reported on a couple of reputable X sites and tried to find some MSM rehash to post but found only this. You must admit, it is much better written than the Euro or US MSM rags would have done with the story.
When did this fool actually make this statement? I thought it was done today.
