It was 14 years ago, in 2008, that Merkel, together with France’s then president, Nicolas Sarkozy, helped block NATO’s membership invitation to Ukraine during an alliance summit in Bucharest. They saw it as a provocation to Russia.
Oh, f*ck off with this never ending German bashing
4 terms Merkel’s energy strategy built up criminal Putin’s economy and military even after annexation of Crimea. Deal with it .
Coming soon: the German patriotic brigade to downvote this article of the “German Voice”.
Germans daring to criticise anything German are called “Nestbeschmutzer” (nest fouler).

A lot of suffering and death could have been avoided if it wasn’t for this awful decision by Merkel and Sarkozy.
I wonder why those articles most of the time never go more into history and just take this one incident as this would‘ve changed anything and forget about incidents, that happend right after. As if a NATO membership would‘ve changed the mindset of many Ukraines back then.
Those, who are always referring to this one point surprisingly (okay, not that surprising as it would damage their whole „argument“) forget to think objectively about Putins reaction to the announcement that Ukraine would join NATO and also Ukraines reaction after they‘d joined.
1.) Why do they think that Russia wouldn‘t have attacked Ukraine back then?
2.) Why do they think that Janukowytsch wouldn‘t have made Ukraine leave NATO again when he came to power in 2010?
There are so many possible outcomes, that could‘ve changed everything. Anyone who really thinks that a NATO-membership for Ukraine would‘ve gone smoothly and it was only Germany blocking it, should widen his horizon.
The German Greens should be shamed and shunned from all of Europe. They ‘ve inspired catastrophic policy decisions, from energy to tech.

Danke, Merkel.
Imagine approving Nordstream 2 *after* Putin invaded Crimea. Completely immoral.
