Can someone explain Germanys actions?
Itās portrayed as incompetence by leadership but looks almost strategic. Hard to believe itās simply for relationship optics with Russia.
Early days Germany seemed to be leading the way, today they seem to be applying the handbrake.
When was this and in what way?
I think its fair to say that at the start of the invasion (March/April) Germany was making all the right noises
- Huge increase in its own miltarty budget
- Promising billions military aid to Ukraine
- Taking in many refugees
- Promising humanitarian aid.
- Introducing tough sactions.
Besides cutting off oil and gass it was a strong message. A strong message of leadership and solidarity with Ukraine.
Since then it seem to be blunders and hessitancy, adopting a bit more of a neutral position. My belief (probably wrong) is that both France and Germany are pushing for an early end to the war (trying to take a role as peace brokers). This means they no longer can take the same tough line. That my theory anyway !
Jeezus Christ ! ā¦ it seems there really is nothing these fuckers wouldnāt do to sate Putinās delusions of imperial grandeur. The US/UN/EU quickly needs to adopt and amplify a counter narrative to the one that the Kremlin is already busily working on. i.e. the global food crisis is down to western sanctions and Ukranian intransigence. They have to lay this firmly at the feet of the Russians before their disinformation campaign begins to cloud the issues and threaten international solidarity. We know too well how this cunt operates , this needs heading off now.
They look so bloody delusional that they want to rebuild the Russian Empire with Vlad the Great as their Tzar and possibly add other half of the world as their colonies/slaves. Havenāt we seen something like this before?
Iām no Magnus or Livy. Lads & Lasses are these posts useful and interesting or should I slow down?
Very useful thank you, another great job!
With pleasure. Just checking out if thereās any interest left or it faded out.
Keep up the good work mate.
