Merkel did when she did nothing about Crimea, or MH17. Merkel might have been the best thing to happen to Germany and the worst to happen to Europe.
The Russian and Chinese mediasphere are filled with hate towards “the West”, NATO or EU since many years. Of course it is essential to ban all those channels here, but we continue ignoring the message: they really want to destroy the West, and doing business with them hasn’t the slightest changed their attitude.
Wow, a headline that poses a question where the answer is actually “yes”!
>Did Germany and France turn blind eye to threat from Russia?
They did not imo. What are politicians supposed to do? Does anyone believe that a threatening stance solves problems in the world?
Politicians did what worked for a very long time. Include adversarries and create mutual economical dependency. That’s how the EU started, btw. If everyone depends on one another a war becomes unlikley.
Well, it took a dictator with a psychopatic worldview to stop the sceme, but dictators are often unpredictable in their delusions.
Germany is fed up now. Those who don’t believe in corporation and mutual interests in the world will only get order and discipline from here on out. When they crave that so much, then be it.
This will also be the case among European friends, who have shown fascistoid behaviour in the past. I am sure they won’t like it if the EU will stop their grandious ideas. The governments of Poland and Hungary for example, will have to change or their people will suffer as well as the Russians will suffer hardships from now on.
>Back in 2008, both France and Germany had deemed it too early for Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO, arguing that neither country was ready. They also warned that bringing in the former Soviet Republics would compromise relations with Russia, echoing warnings voiced by US diplomats who sought to dissuade the White House from offering a concrete path to membership.
Fuck your lying bullshit, France24. We backed Ukraine’s entrance, and you blocked it. You made that ambiguous statement deliberately to give readers the impression that the US wasn’t backing it.
When France canceled military ships delivery to Russia in 2014 in addition to “regular EU sanctions” everyone laughted at us (and Hollande actually got a ton of undeserved critics even from other french politics).
Guess it didn’t motivate other to do the same.
Is Chinese media very anti-western? I have never been exposed to it
No, they looked it straight in the face and said we’ll buy your gas anyway
> “I invite Ms Merkel and Mr Sarkozy to visit Bucha and see what the policy of concessions to Russia has led to in 14 years,” Zelensky said, referring to the gruesome killing of Ukrainian civilians in towns north of the capital – which world powers have described as “war crimes”.
>“See with your own eyes the tortured and slain Ukrainians,” he added.
What kind of strategy is it to blame your allies in the middle of a war? If I’m constantly criticised for what I do, I’ll walk out the door and leave him alone in his shit.
Merkel and her government has been proven to be a disaster for Europe.
