    Germans still have not come to terms that Merkel Geo politics was completed failiture and huge contributor to the detoriating security situation in Europe.

    It took a year into the war for Germany to finally step and provide proper backing to the afford to march its size and economic role in Europe.

    All of this despite being warned and advised the key allies these choices were not good for the alliance.

    Many people took notice of Germany’s bevhaior, actions have consequences. Esp when the blundering party was acting so smug about it.

      Sure, but the article makes it seem almost malicious or deliberate, when my impression is that it’s simply good old German bureaucracy in action.

        bureaucracy in action.

        That excuse is getting tiring. In tejas, we call that corruption while not malicious this behavior for profit results in the same outcome.

        German elites and industrial producers were driving policy at expense of their allies and esp fucked Ukraine here.

        Also, bureaucracy inherently ain’t a bad thing, shit needs admin. Captured bureaucracy working on behalf of interest groups is criminal but yet here we are.
