In one single speech, Olaf #Scholz, the German Chancellor practically overturned – for good reason – virtually every tenet of foreign policy that he and his party had clung on to for decades. theglobalist.com/german-chancel… #ukriane war

The world can only hope that #Germany finally made a courageous turn toward defending democracy in earnest. And standing up to dictators and aggressors with more than just words. All the credit for that newly gained courage goes to the people of #Ukraine theglobalist.com/german-chancel…

Mr. Putin may use as many cluster bombs in Ukraine as he wants, it will still lead to an iconic defeat for Putin and Mother Russia. The last vestiges of Russian respectability are being blown to smithereens. 2/5 #StandWithUkriane

Ironically, Putin’s craving to bring back the old Soviet Union will end like the Soviet Union itself did. After all, the USSR was eventually brought down by the enormous economic costs of a ten-year military adventure in Afghanistan. 3/5 #StandWithUkraine️

The Polish government is correct: We must stop purchases of Russian oil & gas ASAP Western #sanctions have limited effect if we keep purchasing to the tune of $46 billion a month from #Russia. That’s not shortsighted, that’s stupid and given the #Ukraine situation - murderous

The former German Chancellor #Schröder has clung to his close relationship with #Putin. For #Germany, this has become a matter of a national disgrace. In today's feature Stephan Richter explains why he would stoop to such lengths. theglobalist.com/gerhard-schroe… #ukraine

Reflections from Subbiah Lakshmanan and @Stephan_Richter, our Editor-in-Chief, on the hurdles that China’s economy faces and why #XiJinping has become the biggest risk to #China’s future evolution. theglobalist.com/china-economy-… #twosessions #NPC

Bis heute hat Angela #Merkel ihr übles Wort von der North Stream-Gaspipeline als „rein privatwirtschaftlichem Projekt“ nicht zurückgenommen. Das sollte das Mindeste an Anstand sein, was sie aufbringen sollte. #StandWithUkraine #Putin wiwo.de/politik/deutsc…

The way in which #Ukraine stands up to the Russian army, proves that the country, although not a member of #NATO, de facto is a very important part of the alliance. No one has ever shown up the incompetence of the Russian army more than the Ukrainians! #Putin #StandWithUkraine

Timothy Snyder Always amazing to see how introspective, even navel-gazing the Germans are Next to nobody there remembers the #Nazi origins of #Germany’s special #energy relationship with #Russia Germany’s penchant for introspection is even more surprising as it is such a big exporting nation

If Olaf Scholz and his #SPD-led government do not agree very soon to delivering hard weapons to #Ukraine, #Germany risks to face a very serious question about its war guilt once again - this time in the 21st-century Fareed Zakaria EJ Dionne Thomas L. Friedman Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 Bret Stephens

Anyone reading this FAZ article with all the pithy quotes by #Germany‘s President #Steinmeier about Russia can only arrive at one conclusion: Politically speaking, Steinmeier is the highly intelligent, Russia-loving version of Donald #Trump @MWehner4 zeitung.faz.net/faz/politik/20…

What the war on #Ukraine confirms: 1. #Putin is a state #terrorist 2. The German #SPD is a collection of selfish people that only pay lip service to international #solidarity, which they never mean for real 3. Against any reason, the SPD believes in cuddling the Russian bear

The Orban regime is the welfare queen of EU politics while pitching itself to American conservatives as the shining crusader for truth, liberty and the anti-woke way

Wouldn’t it be ironic if … the people of #Iran succeed with their revolution to undo the Ayatollahs’ oppressive #Islamic Republic of 1979 — … while the United States tragically makes the opposite move - and falls for dictatorship under the Ayatollah Donald #Trump? #democracy

French President #Macron, answering questions on Russia and UN at@#MSC2023, still sounds more like a political science professor than a head of state
