    caveat The Problem is that she is a little too unapologetic about russia.

    I agree on that point. Germany needs to be extremely careful not to get worse relations with Poland or France with disagreements on Ukraine.

Diplomacy is nuanced and you can not just simply state what you think is the solution in a vacuum, like always.

    In political discussions most people act like Germany can always suddenly pull a 180° without consequences (with France or Poland) lol.

      The imperialist neolib alliance being destroyed would be good for literally everyone in the long term except maybe the French and Germans. Edit: it would probably be good for the French and German proletariat in the longer term too.

      France, Germany, and Poland wouldn’t go to war just because the German government said that Russia isn’t the devil.
