Even more surprised here ...

Especially as the 2 alternatives of both big parties were picking the lesser evil imo. Since then i somehow became a fan of Mrs. Bearbock; sadly she has not much positiv company in this coalition.

The consequences of this war will act as a reminder why it is such a bad thing in the first place. Everyone in Europe went through a lot of hardship after WWII... No one believed this would happen. Just think of poor Ukrainians whos homes and livelihoods have been destroyed and stop complaining about the lack of heating...

@@cadicamo8720 around 70% support it as neccesary burden according to some polls... Heat pump sales are currently going through the roof (and some other heating alternatives).

Maybe this will become a chance to go full Hydrogen and other alternatives.

You mean the SPD is the wrong party in the wrong time! A party with about 50% of them sticking in Russian arses in the past and with parts of them still arguing against weapon deliveries and breaking and delaying where they can, should lose its power over the strongest economy in Europe!
How refreshing to listen to a grown-up who addresses questions directly even conceding weakness in some areas. I am tired of UK politicians with their lies and dissembling and who avoid interviews like the plague.
I love this lady, intelligent, articulate, direct, strong and confident. While Scholz was claiming for months that they can't give weapons because Ukrainians are still training(while other countries were giving them new equipment with training, every few weeks), she seems to be more open about the fact that the German equipment is not well maintained and was unusable at that moment.
She's an idiot, just spouting what the US tells her to. Lies about the Russians, lies about what the EU is doing as the lapdog of the US. She is a fool, and the sooner this German government falls the better. They are ruining Germany.

Trump was an idiot and during his whole time he turned on being hostile towards allies. The german reaction was not about what trump said, it was about how he said it and the very undiplomatic way of trumps actions and speeches. Putin's biggest win was how much trump split the west.

Everybody warned Germany. Even Germans warned Germany! So what´s your point? Trump is history! And he ruined more for this planet, than he improved, that´s a fact!
The journalist doesn't understand that if Russia stops all gas to Germany (and/or the EU), they have lost their leverage. If Russia doesn't have leverage, why would it stop supporting Ukraine with arms?
Because of the Maidan coup obstructing the agreement signed by Yonokovich, opposition, France and Germany (Steinmaier) for an orderly transfer of power after new elections. Of course the US had to prevent those elections, because Nuland and Pyatt intended to install Yatsenuk as prime minister.
They will revisit the reason behind the closures... On hindsight the sentiment that led them to moving away from nuclear power, might have been pushed partly by "big parties"...which are now benefiting of course. Anyhow, since they are very much the economic engine behind the EU, they can't just make a rash decision and topple a switch. It might take the majority of the EU electric network to carry Germany's needs. For Russia to loose all German support for the unforeseeable time...will eventually hurt them on so many levels. Absolute idiot move.
@@jerrymiller9039 gas is vital for certain things like steel production though and these temperatures can't be reached by using electricity, you could argue some gas can be saved for industrial processes while nuclear power covers up for it, but german nuclear plants are also nearly all shut down for good, 3 or 4 could be reactivated which would contribute something like 5 to 7% to Germany's power demand, nothing huge in all fairness
One of our few politicians wich really has good standpoints in regards to this war. She is in one of the 3 coalition parties but unfortunately, nothing can beat Scholz (SPD) affinity to Russian gas. She isn't pro nuclear energy though but luckily other EU countries like the Netherlands pressure them to keep the plants running
a good standpoint would have been to deny Ukraine access to NATO in 2021, then the war wouldn't start. I'm glad she doesn't send any real weapons. The less people get killed the better. Ukraine will surrender anyway ultimately
@@HaraldinChina nonsense narrative. It wouldn't have been possible for Ukraine to be a member of NATO because it had territorial conflicts and it was also vetoed. Also, the reasoning that a DEFENSE union is a thread to Russia is bs.

Well, that's what free people do: when someone has gone rogue and becomes a criminal, they actually try to stop the criminal. Any free person would want the criminal to fail. For otherwise the criminal destroys all freedom. It's not a difficult concept. Weird that you can't understand it.
No way. She's representing all people with a living heart and a working conscience. Yes, Germany will take some hard hits. Prices of oil and energy are already soaring. Yet, many here totally agree, that this war, that russia started, is not going away by letting russia just murder and demolish and rape and steal after it's vile heart's liking. Russia is acting like a big criminal at the neighbor's house. We can either help the neighbor, or let the criminal get stronger still. He will come to devour many more, if he's not stopped. There's no other moral choice: the criminal has to be stopped at all costs. The raging bear with rabies has to be stopped at all costs.
@@NoName-ml5yk Oh really? Have you finally woken up? Congratulations! And where have you been since 2014 smelly Europe? Did you rejoice at the ethnic cleansing of Russians in the Donbas? Shut your mouth.
Ukraine was a US/NATO puppet state after the coup of 2014. Judging by the comments here view people are aware of the history of the country. Nor of the incoming de industrialisation of Germany and the consequences.
Criminal russia: attacks peaceful neighbor. Starts to murder, demolish, lie, wound, steal, rape and torture. EU: helps neighbor to defend itself and stops buying stuff from the criminal. Criminal russia: then I won't sell you either, what you cannot do without. EU: moans, but takes the hit. It has to take the hit, in order to stop the criminal. It's not nice, but that's how criminals are: not nice at all. Better stop him now, than later.
That's not fair. Germany's economy is taking hard hits. But poor Ukraine is much worse off, living under the shelling of their cities. So the hard hits must be taken, in order to weaken bully russia best as possible. Yet, at an abrupt total standstill of factories, there is not much Germany can do to help the Ukraine either. It's like balancing on a two-edged sword. "As much as we can" is keeping the balance in favor of helping the Ukraine win this unjust war it's been thrown into. An honest politician is a rare find. Best treasure it.

@@Iain1962 You can't be this unintelligible, can you? Do we need to spell it out even more??? Germany trusted the russians for trade. Then the russians betrayed all trust by attacking a peaceful neighbor. Germany is angry with that criminal behavior and tries to help that poor attacked neighbor. Yet, through the trade it sadly made itself vulnerable, because of dependence upon gas and oil from this nation, that has gone rogue. You can't stop dependence over night. The whole economy would come to a standstill, which would mean, that they would also be unable to help the Ukraine in the first place. It's a terrible position to find yourself in. The only option is, to free oneself of this dependence as soon as possible and take some hard hits, without running the whole country down. If you cannot understand this, I fear you lack in understanding basic economic principles. In that case, best take it from people, who do understand those. Mrs. Baerbock finds her country in a nasty position, like in a wasps nest. She's trying to get out, whilst being stung all over by the wasps. You stinging her some more, really does not help at all.
How sad it is to see Germany promising support to Ukraine without keeping their word. I had never in my imagination believed that the German government would lie and not keep the promises of arms aid as promised. The German people, who are so proud, must show that Germany is not like that.
I think Annalena was trying to say they were so wishful for peace that they were unprepared for evil to come to the neighborhood, wishing it would stay away forever. She says they will be prepared now and in the future...
Rene, you seem to have missed her intentions completely. She honestly said that the tanks were 50 years old, because no one believed they were going to be needed anymore. Germany is stepping up. I do agree with you, that people should keep their word! And back them up with proper actions. The hits Germany is taking for its stance in this war are not easy. Our business barely survived Corona, and now face difficulties to keep it alive, due to extreme high prices for oil and electricity. Yet, it must be so. In solidarity with poor Ukraine, getting attacked so violently. They are off so much worse. Vile russia is behaving like a mean bully. Bullies only understand force. They can only be stopped by superior force.
You better inform about German military help- what is promised and until when, and wath has already been delivered! Than you see many things with different eyes! Yes, we can not keep with Poland- simply because we have no 250-300 MBTs left to donate anybody. But we try to deliver what Ukraine asks for and what we can afford without further weakening the Bundeswehr. We even delivered more PzH2000 than promised!
Notice Putin didn't make the moves until the Corrupt Dems were back in Power. I wonder how much help from Russia and the CCP the Dems got. I'd bet LOTS.

@@patandderry8416 I fear you didn't follow this well. What she meant to say is, that if all oil and gas would have stopped there and then, it would have caused riots in Germany. The government would not have been able to explain to the public, why they decided to have no oil and gas anymore. First Germany had to do everything in its power to get some supplies from elsewhere. Which is logical. Don't forget: it was russia, who brutally attacked the Ukraine. It was russia, who betrayed everybody's trust. Now that we see russia for what it sadly chooses to be - a vile aggressor - we must cut ourselves loose from them as quickly as possible. But even if you are very quick indeed, it cannot be done in a day. Losing all russian oil and gas overnight, would have caused serious havoc, which the German people would not have found acceptable. Do you get it now? If not, your English might not be good enough? Or you heart...

Germany always over promises but under fulfills when it comes to helping to defend Ukraine against Russia. It’s understandable that German energy needs depend on its cooperation with Russia. However, if Russia overruns Ukraine, only Poland stands between Germany and the Russian invasion.
You must be an expert for German politics and economy. Superb! Ever thought about a collapsing German economy and the results for Europe? Many large companies here rely on gas and oil and if they shut down their production lines and release enployees, all Europe will feal this! And we talk here about 10.000s maybe 100.000s of unemployed. And our economy is already bulged in by the pandemic and interrupted suply lines. And now this! Yes, we have to do more in terms of help. But cutting off all gas supplies from 100 to 0 is suicide! And btw- where did we over promise anything and under fulfilled these promisses? We delivered what we promissed! We even delivered more- see MARS 2 and PzH2000! And what about 1.2 billion Euros for weapons we gave Ukraine? I didn´t hear anything about weapon orders so far (except 100 PzH2000)!
Are you always This unfair? Hope you will be treated likewise. Germany trusted, that russia would also see how it benefited from mutual trade. But russia lied and betrayed all trust given. That's not Germany's fault, is it? Though it was a bit short sighted and Germany was warned for the claws of the bear. Now it pays the price for that. But in no way is Germany sponsoring russia. It's trying to end it's dependence upon certain russian goods as fast as possible. And taking hard hits for that.
I will enjoy it. I'll think of the children we try to prevent Putin from killing, and I hope they will soon live in peace again when Russia loses the war.
We'll complain, as people like to do. But the more honest people among us realize, that we pay the smaller price. If only vile russia had not started this evil and brutal war! But it did. It's behaving like a huge criminal. We cannot have him roam about unrestrained, now can we? So, we take the smaller hit and feel the cold. It's not nice. It's not deserved either.

@@jerrymiller9039 Perhaps, perhaps not.I have no comparison to other countries like France or italy. But thanks to Mrs.Merkel our military wallet is quite empty.
@@jerrymiller9039 mate, I'm the last person defending Germany, but that list is far longer and extensive than I expected. Especially if you consider, that Germany's military is down bad and needed this 100 billion € package. They're sending what they can and you don't even know what they're doing under the hand. Be happy with what they give and ask for more, but be nice while you're at it. The SPD and greens are literally the party for pacifism and that they have to deal with Russia and weapons is blowing my mind. Scholz has to be careful with what he does, to not split his party and make ruling impossible. Because, as you can see on the internet, there are still many, that dislike the idea of being part in any type of conflict whatsoever. Be it the misguided love for pacifism, give Putin what he wants and he will let us be, or some type of thinking, we've done so many bad things to the Russians, we can't kill them now (or help Ukrainians kill them with our weapons), the anti American doctrine, or Russian propaganda, they've fell for... Etc. I'm not saying that any of those ideas are right. I hope, that in the future Germany gets it's act together and steps up to the plate, as a country with an economic power like Germany should, but until then, it takes a lot of time and a different population, i fear. Plus the idea, is a nice one. Imagine, we need no tanks, no weapons, no military. There's no death in war, we have to deal with and wars are only something far away, unimportant to us. A nice though, for a time gone now. And the idea of getting close by economic ties is one, i think would've worked if it wasn't for Putin and his ways.
@@jerrymiller9039 most likely because: A) we can't really send equipment from our military directly, since we simply don't have much, B) we don't really have soviet era weaponry left in Germany to begin with & C) thank Chancellor Scholz for taking so long to send hardware in the first place, since he is the one blocking everything, lying, finding and hiding behind excuses and giving empty promises. That said our weapon industry does have quite a bit of military equipment and hardware ready and is also in the process of repairing stored heavy weapons, mostly older IFVs & MBTs. But if Scholz and his party keep on blocking those companies from actually supplying Ukraine with what they can send, well... If we wouldn't have our Foreign Minister + her party we probably would've send way less. While it is, in the end, way less than I would like to see Germany sending to Ukraine, it's not as little as people r making it look like still, especially since, like I said, our military simply has pretty much sent what it can by now. Simply the result of 16+ years of conservatives leading Germany while being good friends with Russia, leading us into the situation we r in rn while ignoring all clearly visible signs of what was about to come + forgetting our military & its problems (since it's not only a "not enough money" problem, but a big structural problem, which will not be fixed by the extra 100bil € pumped into the military). It has its reasons why Russia interfered in our last vote, to prevent our now foreign minister to become chancellor, with Russian bots fueling fake news campaigns against her and her party, while the right and conservative scene teamed up playing perfectly into Putin's hands and jumping in on that witch hunt. The Greens have a pretty clear stance against Russia since quite a few years now, which is a risk for Russia of course, since only a weak Germany is a good Germany for Russia. And weak we became indeed, with our dependency on Russian gas, oil and coal and with a Kremlin backed fascist party receiving way too much attention over the last years, while the conservatives led us right into Putin's trap.
Did you forget, that russia started a most violent and evil war? Which made sanctions a small rebuttal indeed? It was to be expected, that russia wouldn't be too happy with it. Madman putin, with the huge narcissistic personality disorder, to react even against his own country's best interest. Starting a war is always against your own people's best interest.

Trump warned Germany about this and everyone called him crazy. Now look what's happening!
Trump was an idiot and during his whole time he turned on being hostile towards allies. The german reaction was not about what trump said, it was about how he said it and the very undiplomatic way of trumps actions and speeches. Putin's biggest win was how much trump split the west.

Yes, except russia is only worried about a security threat that does not exist and rus are acting delussional and overly paranoid...
Why do people blame US for provocation of Ukraine war.
Because of the Maidan coup obstructing the agreement signed by Yonokovich, opposition, France and Germany (Steinmaier) for an orderly transfer of power after new elections. Of course the US had to prevent those elections, because Nuland and Pyatt intended to install Yatsenuk as prime minister.

Germany lacks heat, not electricity. The discussion about the three nuclear power plants is silly.

On hindsight the sentiment that led them to moving away from nuclear power, might have been pushed partly by "big parties"...which are now benefiting of course.
Anyhow, since they are very much the economic engine behind the EU, they can't just make a rash decision and topple a switch. It might take the majority of the EU electric network to carry Germany's needs.

Germany trusted the russians for trade. Then the russians betrayed all trust by attacking a peaceful neighbor.
Germany is angry with that criminal behavior and tries to help that poor attacked neighbor.
Yet, through the trade it sadly made itself vulnerable, because of dependence upon gas and oil from this nation, that has gone rogue.
You can't stop dependence over night. The whole economy would come to a standstill, which would mean, that they would also be unable to help the Ukraine in the first place.
It's a terrible position to find yourself in. The only option is, to free oneself of this dependence as soon as possible and take some hard hits, without running the whole country down.
If you cannot understand this, I fear you lack in understanding basic economic principles.
In that case, best take it from people, who do understand those.
Mrs. Baerbock finds her country in a nasty position, like in a wasps nest. She's trying to get out, whilst being stung all over by the wasps. You stinging her some more, really does not help at all.
How sad it is to see Germany promising support to Ukraine without keeping their word.
I had never in my imagination believed that the German government would lie and not keep the promises of arms aid as promised. The German people, who are so proud, must show that Germany is not like that.

Rene, you seem to have missed her intentions completely. She honestly said that the tanks were 50 years old, because no one believed they were going to be needed anymore. Germany is stepping up. I do agree with you, that people should keep their word! And back them up with proper actions. The hits Germany is taking for its stance in this war are not easy. Our business barely survived Corona, and now face difficulties to keep it alive, due to extreme high prices for oil and electricity. Yet, it must be so. In solidarity with poor Ukraine, getting attacked so violently. They are off so much worse. Vile russia is behaving like a mean bully. Bullies only understand force. They can only be stopped by superior force.
You better inform about German military help- what is promised and until when, and wath has already been delivered! Than you see many things with different eyes! Yes, we can not keep with Poland- simply because we have no 250-300 MBTs left to donate anybody.

First Germany had to do everything in its power to get some supplies from elsewhere. Which is logical.

Germany always over promises but under fulfills when it comes to helping to defend Ukraine against Russia. It’s understandable that German energy needs depend on its cooperation with Russia. However, if Russia overruns Ukraine, only Poland stands between Germany and the Russian invasion.
You must be an expert for German politics and economy. Superb! Ever thought about a collapsing German economy and the results for Europe? Many large companies here rely on gas and oil and if they shut down their production lines and release enployees, all Europe will feal this! And we talk here about 10.000s maybe 100.000s of unemployed. And our economy is already bulged in by the pandemic and interrupted suply lines. And now this!
Yes, we have to do more in terms of help. But cutting off all gas supplies from 100 to 0 is suicide!
And btw- where did we over promise anything and under fulfilled these promisses? We delivered what we promissed! We even delivered more- see MARS 2 and PzH2000! And what about 1.2 billion Euros for weapons we gave Ukraine? I didn´t hear anything about weapon orders so far (except 100 PzH2000)!

But in no way is Germany sponsoring russia. It's trying to end it's dependence upon certain russian goods as fast as possible. And taking hard hits for that.
Let's see how they feel when freezing
I will enjoy it. I'll think of the children we try to prevent Putin from killing, and I hope they will soon live in peace again when Russia loses the war.
We'll complain, as people like to do. But the more honest people among us realize, that we pay the smaller price.
If only vile russia had not started this evil and brutal war! But it did. It's behaving like a huge criminal. We cannot have him roam about unrestrained, now can we?
So, we take the smaller hit and feel the cold. It's not nice. It's not deserved either. But it is necessary and nothing compared to the hurt done to the poor Ukraine.
All of us, you included, ought to learn to stand with those, who are oppressed and not live for me, myself and I alone.

@@ThirAilith that is not much for a country the size of Germany
@@jerrymiller9039 Perhaps, perhaps not.I have no comparison to other countries like France or italy. But thanks to Mrs.Merkel our military wallet is quite empty.
@@jerrymiller9039 mate, I'm the last person defending Germany, but that list is far longer and extensive than I expected. Especially if you consider, that Germany's military is down bad and needed this 100 billion € package. They're sending what they can and you don't even know what they're doing under the hand. Be happy with what they give and ask for more, but be nice while you're at it. The SPD and greens are literally the party for pacifism and that they have to deal with Russia and weapons is blowing my mind. Scholz has to be careful with what he does, to not split his party and make ruling impossible. Because, as you can see on the internet, there are still many, that dislike the idea of being part in any type of conflict whatsoever. Be it the misguided love for pacifism, give Putin what he wants and he will let us be, or some type of thinking, we've done so many bad things to the Russians, we can't kill them now (or help Ukrainians kill them with our weapons), the anti American doctrine, or Russian propaganda, they've fell for... Etc. I'm not saying that any of those ideas are right. I hope, that in the future Germany gets it's act together and steps up to the plate, as a country with an economic power like Germany should, but until then, it takes a lot of time and a different population, i fear. Plus the idea, is a nice one. Imagine, we need no tanks, no weapons, no military. There's no death in war, we have to deal with and wars are only something far away, unimportant to us. A nice though, for a time gone now. And the idea of getting close by economic ties is one, i think would've worked if it wasn't for Putin and his ways.
@@jerrymiller9039 most likely because: A) we can't really send equipment from our military directly, since we simply don't have much, B) we don't really have soviet era weaponry left in Germany to begin with & C) thank Chancellor Scholz for taking so long to send hardware in the first place, since he is the one blocking everything, lying, finding and hiding behind excuses and giving empty promises.
That said our weapon industry does have quite a bit of military equipment and hardware ready and is also in the process of repairing stored heavy weapons, mostly older IFVs & MBTs. But if Scholz and his party keep on blocking those companies from actually supplying Ukraine with what they can send, well... If we wouldn't have our Foreign Minister + her party we probably would've send way less.
While it is, in the end, way less than I would like to see Germany sending to Ukraine, it's not as little as people r making it look like still, especially since, like I said, our military simply has pretty much sent what it can by now.
Simply the result of 16+ years of conservatives leading Germany while being good friends with Russia, leading us into the situation we r in rn while ignoring all clearly visible signs of what was about to come + forgetting our military & its problems (since it's not only a "not enough money" problem, but a big structural problem, which will not be fixed by the extra 100bil € pumped into the military).
It has its reasons why Russia interfered in our last vote, to prevent our now foreign minister to become chancellor, with Russian bots fueling fake news campaigns against her and her party, while the right and conservative scene teamed up playing perfectly into Putin's hands and jumping in on that witch hunt. The Greens have a pretty clear stance against Russia since quite a few years now, which is a risk for Russia of course, since only a weak Germany is a good Germany for Russia. And weak we became indeed, with our dependency on Russian gas, oil and coal and with a Kremlin backed fascist party receiving way too much attention over the last years, while the conservatives led us right into Putin's trap.
Germany… history… always a way to put in danger the old continent.
USSR, Russia are fighting NaZi types now for the third time there. During WW2, from 1946-1954 (CIA/Bandera) and now again.
this is not blackmailing,this the same sanction you aposse on to the Russen.now the Russen are sanctioning you back,now it blackmailing ,how dear you.
Did you forget, that russia started a most violent and evil war? Which made sanctions a small rebuttal indeed?
It was to be expected, that russia wouldn't be too happy with it. Madman putin, with the huge narcissistic personality disorder, to react even against his own country's best interest. Starting a war is always against your own people's best interest. Guess Germany knows that better, than most.
In wars ALL lose. Yet, you cannot just let a dog with rabies roam free to attack whomever he meets. Or a bear with rabies.
@@gardenjoy5223 May i ask if you know the real reason how this war started,if you dont then i advice you to go on internet ,and read the Minsk agreament 2.Evereyone is blamming Russa, without knowing the facs.

Es ist, als würde man in die Hose pissen. Es gibt ein Nachspiel.
When Germany can impose sanctions and supply weapons to Ukraine, Russia has every right to take steps to protect its interest so economic sanctions are double edged weapons.
WHEN PUTIN Attack Kill and Rape... EUROPE and USA..can delivery guns
Russia needs isolated like N. Korea...
Then they should say so and not ram a stick up their arse and pull out some bullocks explanation as to why less gas is going through NS1
