Far-left politician calling for peace with Russia makes waves in Germany • FRANCE 24 English

A radical far-left politician who wants to make peace with Russia’s Vladimir Putin looks set to play a key role in regional elections in the former East Germany on Sunday. Sahra Wagenknecht, 55, born in communist East Germany to an Iranian father and a German mother, defected from the far-left Die Linke to form her own party, BSW, last year.

  1. Her policies don't sound terribly objectionable. God forbid she'd want peace instead of a stupidly fought war where no one in leadership is actually trying to win it. What's the strategy? Keep wasting your best, most expensive weapons by giving them to untrained Ukrainians so they can drive them into Russian missiles and artillery? We've already spent $200 billion+ doing that in the US. Lord only knows how much more Europe has added to the pot. Instead of taking care of your own priorities, you're just feeding this stupidity and being saddled with having to buy American LNG (because Biden blew up your pipeline) and having to buy American weapons to replace the ones Ukraine's busy wasting (or stealing and reselling on the black market). End the war. The only ones benefiting from it are bankers and arms dealers. Putin's not going to go away using this strategy, so stop trying it.

  2. Is she pleading for peace ??!
    MSM :
    “She must be a far left or right radical then. Silence her, demonize her ! “
    This is so dangerous for the western weapon industry.

  3. Wenn die AFD und BSW ihre extremen parteipunkte mal fuer 4 Jahre vergessen wuerden und sich nur auf die gleiche schnittmengen konzentrierten, wie Frieden, immigranten, Renten, Wirtschaft, vernuenftige Klima politik, das waere fuer Deutschland das beste was passieren koennte. Und wuerde gleichzeitig beweisen, dass es beiden Parteien ernst ist nur das beste fuer unser Land zu wollen und nicht auf persoenliche Verwirklichung aus sind. Waere das so schlimm??

  4. Ukrainians protesting against peace? Then why not go back to Ukraine and fight? Maybe they are afraid that after peace they will be asked to return back to Ukraine.

  5. Whoever is anti establisment narrative is taxed as Putin lover….remeber covid time when iquisition huntet the antivaxers?Too many people are brainwashed by media

  6. the whole far right off the world asked about 2 years ago, Trump is right not left, they try to focus attention in something else than their fault about migrants
