Berliner Tageszeitung - Jens Plötner, Andreas Michaelis, Olaf Scholz, Gerhard Schröder and Frank-Walter Steinmeier - Putin's SPD lobbyists, in Germany?

The internationally respected Ukrainian Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany, Andrij Melnyk sums all this up, as does Poland's Deputy Head of Government, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, with Melnyk saying:
"For Steinmeier, the relationship with Russia was and remains something fundamental, even sacred, no matter what happens, even the war of aggression doesn't play much of a role in this. "Russia's dictator Vladimir Putin (69) holds the view that "there is no Ukrainian people, no language, no culture, and therefore no state", "Steinmeier seems to share the idea that Ukrainians are not actually a subject."
As far as gas, oil and coal are concerned, Germany still has too many vested interests vis-à-vis Russia, Melnyk says. Steinmeier's actions as head of the chancellor's office and later as foreign minister are also to blame, he says.

The Polish deputy head of government, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, attests to the total failure of the German government and states:
"I am very dissatisfied with the behaviour of the German government", "Germany could supply more weapons. And Germany could speak out in the EU for an oil embargo." Oil supplies can be replaced, he said, but it is more difficult with natural gas. "You can't keep supporting a great power like Russia, with billions in payments from the purchase of energy", that is inadmissible from a political and moral point of view. This must come to an end, and Germany should finally take a clear stance on this."

Kaczynski accused Germany, with Olaf Scholz, and France, with Emmanuel Macron, of "a strong leaning towards Moscow". For years, he said, the German government had not wanted to see what Russia was doing under President Vladimir Putin. "That turned out badly, as we see now," Kaczynski said. "But it was not hard to foresee that it would turn out this way. But Germany always wanted to know better."

Then Kaczynski gets to the heart of the matter, saying, "In the past decades, Germany has striven for dominance in Europe, but in solidarity with Russia. Germany, however, has no moral basis to dominate Europe"!

Overall, NATO should do more in the Ukraine war, Kaczynski said. "First, carry out a peacekeeping mission. Of course, that would only be possible with Ukraine's consent. Secondly, NATO countries should finally deliver the weapons that (Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj is) vigorously asking for."

The fact that SPD leader Lars Klingbeil, in the face of war crimes committed by Russian terrorist soldiers, advocates a rapid economic break with Russia sounds like a joke in light of the recent actions of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), because it was Scholz who instructed that weapons not be delivered to Ukraine immediately, but be withheld!

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken goes on the offensive in the face of the Butscha atrocities, saying: "The images of dead Ukrainians in Butscha would be tantamount to a punch in the gut, strategically Russia has suffered a defeat in Ukraine."

Russia's "president" Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, born on 7 October 1952 (age 69), could currently be charged with serious crimes without any problem and sentenced to death for crimes against humanity as well as for promoting a war of aggression - which would most certainly be the most just solution to punish this mass murderer.

In a great effort to contain the atrocities of war and possibly prevent them altogether with the force of law, international criminal law has defined war crimes. After two world wars and the use of weapons of mass destruction, the world had become wiser, this was also shown by the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal, with the sentencing of Nazi war criminals.

That Putin also belongs before an international war crimes tribunal for the crimes in Syria is also indisputable, but the West, like ex-Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, a member of the SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany), which bears the word "social" in its party name, as well as the current Chancellor Olaf Scholz (also a member of the SPD), has watched the doings of the Kremlin despot Putin for too long!

In the face of the war crimes of the Russian terror army in Ukraine, it is a daily farce that the SPD Chancellor Olaf Scholz continues to pour more than two hundred million euros into the war chest of the Russian terror despot Putin and thus finances the war, murder and crimes against humanity against the Ukrainian civilian population!

But Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) is a doz friend of ex-Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD), who in turn is a doz friend of the war criminal Vladimir Putin, together with the "Russia-understanding" Frank-Walter Steinmeier (SPD), who himself said in August 2016 "Russia-understanding" is not a dirty word for me - these politicians seem to be Putin's best lobbyists in Germany, which is why the SPD is now also responsible!     (P.Hansen--BTZ)
