The head of the German Navy is stepping down over controversial comments favorable to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I have asked Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht to relieve me from my duties with immediate effect," Vice Admiral Kay-Achim Schoenbach said in a statement"What he (Putin) really wants is respect," Schoenbach said. "And my God, giving someone respect is low cost, even no cost... It is easy to give him the respect he really demands - and probably also deserves."
Schoenbach added that he believes Ukraine joining NATO is not a "smart" idea., according to Reuters. "The minister has accepted my request."

...and it sounds like Germany took his advice (or at least found a bit of common sense), as they’re blocking NATO from arming Ukraine.
This admiral is the first casualty of the Russian invasion of Ukraine that Brandon keeps promising.
There will be others.

Can you imagine Karl Doenitz saying something nice about Stalin?
Hitler and Stalin personally admired each other. Hitler even though had Germany won the war, he could use Stalin to help rule over the Nazi Russian Puppet State.
“Regarding what happened in Ukraine. The Crimean island is lost and will never return. That’s a fact,” Schönbach said.
However, he noted that Putin’s goal is not “a small strip of Ukrainian land”, but the split of the European Union and the restoration of respect, “which he probably even deserves.”
“Russia is an old country, Russia is an important country… We need Russia. This is a big country, but this country is not a democracy in our opinion… Of course, we cannot agree with what Russia is doing, both in Chechnya and in other places where the situation should be resolved. And yes, this also applies to what happened in Ukraine,” the head of the German Navy said.”

This marks your 51st post from 112.international and 112.ukraine in the past 6 months.
These are unapologetically pro-Russian websites, not just pro-Russian websites but pro-Soviet-kontrol-in-Ukraine websites; controlled by Viktor Medvedchuk, who is among the top-3 Ukranian puppets to be installed by Putin as Dear Leader after Putin attacks Ukraine next month and decapitates their leadership and chain-of-command.
If so much as one American, or American serviceman, is harmed before, during, or after Putin's illegal Ukranian war, that's not going to be a good look for you after having pimped hard for Medvedchuk's Soviet point-of-view, and having done so by trolling Medvedchuk's websites, on a site -- the only site -- dedicated to American constitutional conservatism.
