German President: Germany in a “Conflict” with Russia Because of Whatever, Not a War Yet
Elvis Dunderhoff October 29, 2022
Literally Frank-Walter Steinmeier’s physiognomy.
Is this what anyone wanted?
Germany at war with Russia again?
And it’s reverse, where Russia is the good guy this time?
I wanted that because I want everyone to die in a nuclear war. But most people, I would think, would not want this.
RT:
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has declared that Moscow and Berlin now stand against each other. He cited Russia’s military operation in Ukraine as the reason for the re-evaluation of bilateral relations and added that there is no turning back to “old dreams.”
Addressing the nation on Friday, Steinmeier described Russia’s decision to launch its military campaign in February as a watershed event.
He admitted that many people in Germany “feel connected to Russia and its people, love Russian music and literature.” But the new reality means “there’s no place for old dreams,” the official explained, referring to former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev’s idea of a “common European home.”
“Our countries oppose each other today,” Steinmeier stated.
The president proclaimed that Germany is “in a conflict” but also said it is not “at war.” A further escalation of hostilities in Ukraine, and the direct involvement of other nations in the conflict, should be avoided, he stressed.
Well, Russia says they’re not at war with the Ukraine, it’s a special military operation.
These terms seem not particularly important.
Addressing the new Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, Alexey Makeev, Steinmeier pledged Berlin’s continued support for Kiev – military, financial and political – “for as long as is necessary.”
He also warned his compatriots of “hard years, rough years” ahead.
Hahahaha.
They’re just saying it now!
“Everyone has to suffer a lot because we have to establish gay marriage in Donetsk.”
“For Germany, an epoch of the headwind begins,” Steinmeier claimed.
The president acknowledged that the sanctions imposed on Moscow by Berlin are hurting Germany as well. However, he said the European economic powerhouse had no other choice but to introduce punitive measures.
What does it mean?
The choice was to just not do that.
Steinmeier went on to claim that sanctions, despite the obvious adverse consequences, are in Germany’s best interest in the long run.
What?
#Germany should abandon old patterns of thinking and hopes for #Russia, German President Frank Walter-Steinmeier said. He called Russia's military invasion of #Ukraine an attack on the right to inviolability of borders. pic.twitter.com/1mtrQn7wFp
