This bitch is behind everything bad happening to Europe in the past decade. And it was painfully obvious at the time but no one listened
Does she explain why, or is that just denial without further explanation
Yes if Bush didn’t go against literally all of Europe’s interest putting Ukraine and Georgia on MAP for Nato at the Bucharest summit 2008 they probably wouldn’t have attacked.
But the US wanted the region destabilized and EU weakend as competitor.
They knew fairly well that Putin couldn’t accept Georgia and Ukraine in Nato or he would lose power.
You can read about it in the CRS report for Congress about the summit.
Germany hit peak DEI before it was cool
Tbh giving the fault to Merkel alone is reductive considering that 2008 EU politics was literally shit everywhere, with Sarkozy in France and Berlusconi in Italy, god that really were shit times…
This clouds her legacy?
Not 2015 and all the mess after it?
Again germans being the downfall of europe. Abolish germany pls
Blaming Merkel for what happened in 2008 is a stretch.
On the other hand, she’s 100% responsible for letting Putin get away with annexing Crimea
No. Ukraine tries to join NATO = Russia invades. That’s the calculation.
West honeydicks that Ukraine will join the EU or NATO, but won’t fuckin defend it. I mean, “They should’ve been in NATO! Then we would’ve defended it! Uh no I don’t want to defend them now…”, they should be in the EU! *Russia says no*, ah nevermind…
Obviously, it can’t pick its alliances. Infact I believe they thought the west would be declaring war against Russia if this happened, that if they knew it’d play out this way they wouldn’t have even bothered.
As what have they got? The top boss of NATO demanding to concede even more territory. A disaster.
Reminds me of that video where this guy angrily yells; GEGEN MERKELLLLLL
Don’t get me wrong. Merkel deserves all the flak she gets, but let’s not forget Obama literally changing the NATO member entry requirements just for Ukraine.
Having no outstanding border dispute was made up by him to appease Putin, because him and Merkel thought it was just a blunder on Putins part and he would see his error and stop doing it.
Lets be real here, Ukraine was a corrupt shithole espacially then.
If Bush would have confirmed NATO expansion stops short of Ukraine, this war would have never happened.
Only thing that would’ve achieved is that we now would 100% sure be in total war with Russia.
… And thanks frau for that!
God, ukrainians elected russian puppet as president literally 2 years later.
Some fellow Germans might hate on me but she was brought up in Eastern Germany. I’ve lived there for over a decade. The people there definitely think differently about Russia.
Didn’t Angela Merkel just recently write like a 1000 page book to explain to us lesser beings why she hasn’t been wrong about anything ever?
2008 was before Ukraine decided to split away from Russia’s sphere of influence.
Merkel is the cause of a good 2/3 of all of Europe current problems.
She can’t be the worse Chancellor of Germany only because of the failed painter.
Merkel was a geopolitical dumbass, but in 2008 there would have been zero popular and international support for Ukraine to join, including by most people now outraged at not letting them in (if old enough to be adults then), and for that matter most Ukrainians didn’t want to either.
