Monday. September 26, 06:44: Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) still refuses to supply battle tanks to Ukraine. For this restraint, he is criticized not only in Germany, but also abroad. The criticism is particularly harsh from the largest arms supplier to Ukraine, the USA. The renowned newspaper "New York Times" approached Scholz about it - and he reacted stroppy, the newspaper writes. "Several times he insulted journalists for asking these questions," it continues.

When the author of the text quoted Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba and wanted to know "what is Berlin afraid of that Kiev is not?", Scholz reacted "irritably," it writes. He then said an oft-heard phrase to justify his strategy: "Leadership doesn't mean doing what others ask you to do." And further, "Leadership means making the right decisions and being very strong. And that's what I do."

"Surprisingly emotional," the "robotic" Scholz also reacted to the question of why Germany still will not spend 2 percent of its gross domestic product on military spending in the coming years, as Scholz has announced. When asked this question, Scholz "hissed," "Asking this question is not serious, to be honest."

The text goes on to say that Scholz rejected any suggestion that the U.S. would welcome Germany taking the lead in supplying battle tanks. The journalist further notes that Scholz's reticence was also evident when he refused to comment on a possible end to the war, instead quoting President Biden.

This sneaky guy is just disgusting with his smug grin. So again my warning: Do not trust the Germans. Not today. Not tomorrow.
