@MykhailoRohoza Yeah no it was different. She - like Scholz was initially against supporting Ukraine with much (due to thinking that Russia would win within a few weeks and its a lost cause). The Person in the cabinet who was decisive for Germans support for Ukraine was Robert Habeck not her

In 2022, Germany’s new foreign minister broke with decades of diplomatic tradition by authorizing arms deliveries into an active conflict zone. Most observers had expected Berlin to maintain its cautious stance. For generations, German foreign policy had prioritized economic ties and dialogue with Russia over military involvement. The legacy of the Cold War and the country’s dependence on Russian gas reinforced a doctrine of restraint. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, this approach faced its greatest test since reunification. Annalena Baerbock, who led the Green Party in the coalition government at the age of 42, secured cabinet approval for arms deliveries to Kyiv despite fierce internal resistance and pressure from coalition partners. She framed the decision not as militarism, but as a moral necessity. Germany supplied anti-tank weapons, air defense systems, and ammunition that proved critical for defending Ukraine’s major cities. Her stance reshaped Europe’s security debate and forced Berlin to reconsider the limits of appeasement. Three years later, Germany remains one of Ukraine’s largest military supporters. The woman who broke a historic taboo now defines her country’s relationship with its eastern frontier, guided by commitment rather than compromise.

@bartosz78 @Frederik__e @janiszyn_r 1) By that logic France and Italy also would be anti-polish. Also PiS seems not to care about Orban being totally controlled by Moscow. 2) You have to understand that we do not think/talk/care much about Poland. Our decisions (also the wrong one) has nothing to do with you.

@Frederik__e @janiszyn_r That’s the pro-Polish game, right?

Polish PiS party seems to live in an alternative universe. They are obsessed with a weird idea of “German neo-imperialism” instead of focusing on the real risk from Russia. They naively assume that the US would suddenly stop following its own interests and defend Poland if needed

@MichaelFKane @EduardHabsburg But could they not also argue that everything was fake *so far* and now this is the real deal because tech has advanced ? Sounds like an easy way out of the conspiracy without being inconsistent

@EduardHabsburg I would GUESS they think it's part of the op. At this point that op would so many hundreds of thousands to millions of people globally that have some connection to the space industry that it doesn't really matter how unlikely such a conspiracy is. They're commited to it.

I'd like to hear from moon truthers: how do you see this whole Artemis II thing? Is this a real flight around the moon? Or some staged psy op? Or is it just fake when they land? Not a cynical question at all, just like to understand

@NeolibCicero @20committee Sure, lets put the future of our continent in the hands of some folks in Pennsylvania or Michigan who never left their states in their life. We cannot trust America. Besides: I see a lot of „No Kings“- or Anti-ICE Protests.. I have yet to see one for the transatlantic Alliance

@20committee Europe can just wait out Trump. Russia would be suicidal to attack another EU state in the next 2.5 years while its still bogged down in Eastern Ukraine.

Absolutely. However, since Russia is in its 5th year of trying to break out the Donbas, a million casualties later, I'm not terribly worried about Putin marching on Warsaw. Not to mention that Poland is clearly moving towards getting The Bomb (which is wise and overdue).

@OldSun @20committee And Germany also thats with we stationed the 45th there

@20committee Nordics and Poland will go to war over Baltics, trust me. Nato will come

Honestly, much of NATO wouldn't go to war with Russia over, say, the Baltics (I hate to say this, but it's the truth) -- it's a bigger problem than Trump.

@janaarnikoivu @20committee Article 42 TEU...we will fight with our eastern friends.

@20committee 5th Article allows to send "Thoughts and Prayers", so wonder how many NATO ally has blindly believed that USA will help? ATM it looks more likely no help if rogue state will attack. Against tribal armies far away it was easy to be one team.

@20committee Why do you think we stationed the 45th Armored Brigade in Lithuania? Because of the nice beaches or the "great" food? Just because you Americans forgot what Loyalty means, doesnt mean we Europeans will abandon each other.

@shahar_aviram @JakubBlahousek @passcoderonald 1. These are US-Bases on Greenland. Not Danish. For example the US-Bases in Germany are being used for this war - we are not interfering there. 2. The Danes are one of americas closes allies here... they literally helped you spy on us Germans. Apples to Oranges comparison

@MaxMastermann3 @JakubBlahousek @passcoderonald 1. Im an israeli, costarican with family in the US. I know plenty of europeans. 2. Follow the logic: -Denemark says no need to take over Greenland. B/c as part of NATO the US can use those bases whenever. -Spain, France, Italy as part of NATO refuse use of bases & airspace.

“Hey remember you told us we didn’t need Greenland because we can use those bases whenever we want” “Yes” “So can we use those bases?” “No”

@behappy7539 @passcoderonald You should have just asked us beforehand and planned it with us together - like in the case of Iraq.

@passcoderonald Treachery on display.

@Imperium953 @passcoderonald Alright. Get your critical military infrastructure out of Germany if you do not need that.

@passcoderonald It leaves you wondering why we’re in NATO at all

@N0tThatSimple @passcoderonald there is a (huge) difference between denmark and spain.

@passcoderonald Comment section is full of Europeans admitting that > you can use them whenever actually meant > you can you them whenever > we decide it's ok for you to use them

@shahar_aviram @JakubBlahousek @passcoderonald I know its hard for the american mind to comprehend: but the spanish and danish government are not the same.

@JakubBlahousek @passcoderonald Therefore US must take over Greenland

@PittJohn74ni @JakubBlahousek @passcoderonald You literally started the war without consulting / convincing/ asking us first (like you did in the case of Iraq). You can't expect to first be "ah fck the europeans lets do it alone" and then (without providing a clear goal) expect us to join in later.

@JakubBlahousek @passcoderonald Why would the US be allies with NATO if they actually won’t assist the US?

@ChoppsPete @JakubBlahousek @passcoderonald There is a huge difference between the danish and the spanish. And what kind of alliance you have with them

@JakubBlahousek @passcoderonald Yeah, that’s fair. But what is your contingent plan if the US pulled out of NATO? Or are you gonna ignorantly act like that won’t affect anything? I agree we’re playing with fire. But so are all the European countries. 😬

@passcoderonald As a European: there is a huge difference between e.g. the spanish and the danish. It would be like comparing New Yorkers to people from Texas. Denmark was one of your closest ally here - they literally help you spy on our german goverment.

@polenz_r NS-Verbrechen wurden entgegen und nicht wegen christlichen Überzeugungen begannen. Das Regime musste sogar die Bibel umschreiben lassen. (Das wissen Sie aber natürlich selbst, weswegen ich Ihre Agenda hier nicht ganz verstehe... besonders während unserer Fastenzeit)

Die „Deutschen Christen“ waren jedenfalls mehr als die „Bekennende Kirche“.

@eckilepsie @christianmiele @larsklingbeil Dieses ewige Jammertal. Es ist ja n Volkstradition.. aber irgendwann reicht es auch.

@christianmiele @larsklingbeil Das geht aber rhetorisch auch besser.

Ich habe @larsklingbeil in seiner Rolle als Finanzminister und Vizekanzler oft und hart kritisiert in den letzten Monaten. Seine Rede heute bei der Bertelsmann Stiftung möchte ich nun umgekehrt positiv deuten. Auch das gehört dazu! Die Rede war zwar nicht der allergrößtmögliche Wurf, aber ich verstehe sie auch mehr als eine Art von Outing: „Ja, ich weiß es ja auch! Es muss sich etwas ändern. Deutschland braucht harte Reformen.“ Und als dieses Outing will ich die Rede heute auch verstehen und einordnen. Sie ist nicht perfekt. Es fehlen wichtige Bausteine. Und einige Bausteine sind zu viel. Aber die Himmelsrichtung stimmt und das muss dann auch so gesagt werden. Vor allem weil ich sonst ja auch hart in der Sache bin.

@DominicStingl @MattheusBerg @migrate89 @PhilipLeButt Wenn die AfD diese Diskussion auf das nächste Wahlplakat drucken würde, dann bekämen sie weitere 3% eurer Stammwählerschaft… Gott das ist alles so traurig und absurd inzwischen.

@MattheusBerg @migrate89 @PhilipLeButt Du sagst alle in den Ortsvereinen finden “das Gelaber” doof. Ich teile dir mit, dass ich die Diskurse in den mir bekannten Ortsvereinen als deutlich vielfältiger wahrnehme als du.

Ein weiteres Problem für die SPD: Viele Vorwürfe sind Projektionen und gar nicht real. Die SPD sei zu woke heißt es. Die SPD ist ehrlich gesagt ziemlich altbacken und bieder. Aber nicht woke.

@swingwing346181 @SchullerKonrad Das ungebildete Proletariat sollte wirklich mal anfangen, neue Wörter zu lernen.

Lieber Rudi, Leute, die keine russischen Trolle sind, würden „Präsident“ mit ä schreiben, und „ukrainisch“ mit kleinem U.

@juliet_turner6 @MelonTeee I truly love your content on here.. but you underestimate what kind of emotional connections some of us have to their plants. This summer i fear that I will break the geneva convention in a multi-year fight against some nasty snails

@MelonTeee Gardening becomes much more enjoyable when you stop fighting against nature and instead see every instance of insects eating your plants as A) a triumph in conservation of your local wildlife and B) an endorsement of your plant choice from your tiny neighbours. 🐞

gardening is NOT relaxing bugs are eating all my shit I've never felt this violent in my life
