Auch wenn #Putin solche Leute gern vom Balkon schubsen lässt, hat er vor Menschen so etwas wie Respekt, die für ihre Überzeugungen und auch die Interessen ihres Landes einstehen. Für Speichellecker und Schleimer hat er nur Verachtung übrig.

Meine Meinung dazu.

#Putin sitzt wahrscheinlich im #Kreml und lacht sich über den Typen scheckig!

Von #Putin unterschriebene Verträge sind weniger wert als #BenutztesKlopapier. Die einzige Sprache, die #Genosse #VladolfPutler (vom #KGB als zu unberechenbar und gewaltbereit eingestuft, so dass er in die DDR zwangsversetzt wurde) versteht, ist, zu meinem großen Bedauern, #militärischeAbschreckung, die Gefahr so ernsthaft eine runter gehauen zu bekommen, dass er still sitzen bleibt.

US-Sondergesandter Witkoff schwärmt nach Treffen von Putin

Mehrmals schon ließ Trumps Sondergesandter Witkoff durchblicken, dass er von Putin angetan ist. Er halte den Kremlchef nicht für einen "schlechten Kerl", sagte er nun - und deutete ein Treffen der Präsidenten an.

Mein Verständnis:

Wenn die Crowd "naiv & flauschig" 20 Jahre lang (sich der demokratischen Souveränität beraubend) in Richtung Abgrund taumelt, dann ist es IMO logisch, dass das Verlassen dieses Highway to Hell unbequem ist:

Entmündigung ist auch Befreiung von Entscheidugnsnot: ein Komfortmerkmal

Die Frage für mich ist, ob die konkrete Bedrohung durch #Trump, unser Bedrohungsmolloch mit #Putin und die Bedrohungshysterie mit #Xi ausreicht, um endlich digital mündig werden zu wollen!

Oops. 🤣

Mit Spannung wurde das Telefonat zwischen Donald #Trump und Wladimir #Putin erwartet. Am Ende war es nur ein kleiner Schritt zu einer möglichen Lösung des Ukraine-Krieges. https://www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1189902.ukraine-krieg-ein-bisschen-waffenruhe.html

Telefonat #Trump u #Putin gleich Nullnummer. #Israel bricht einseitig die Waffenruhe und tötet hunderte Zivilisten. In der #Türkei trägt #Erdogan die Demokratie endgültig zu Grabe. #Deutschland verschuldet sich wie nie zuvor u die #EU rüstet auf. Und die Woche ist noch nicht einmal zu Ende

#ichfassezusammen: #Trump und #Putin übertreffen sich mit Lügengeschichten – Die französische Presse spottet über #Trump `s angeblichen „appel téléphonique fantastique" – Beim EU-Gipfel soll das Telefonat #Trump vs. #Putin nun "bewertet" werden – Verteidigungsminister #Pistorius ist der einzige Politiker aus der ersten Reihe, der das Telefonat offen als #Nullnummer einstuft – #Israel tötet wieder in #Gaza – In der Türkei hat die #Diktatur einen Namen: #Erdogan - #Elton hört bei WWDS auf!

this is very, very awkward. merz' fuckup is reagarded as a glorious move by english media:

The vote was a triumph for the probable new German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, who pushed it through the departing Bundestag on its final day.

they completely disregarded the fact that merz had neglected and rejected all attempts to this financial change just weeks ago. and merz did not "push" it through against resisting majorities, he had to beg for the vote.

the selfish egocentric blackrock lobbyist as a triumphant organizer. he will like that. but this view is wrong. relying on merz' abilities as someoe to get things done is a bad bet. just see his promises to cut the nazi votes by half ...

Amidst #ceasefire discussions and a proposed prisoner exchange, #Russia and #Ukraine continue hostilities. The US Federal Reserve is poised to make a decision on interest rates, following #Trump's 'excellent call' with #Putin, who consents to stop targeting Ukraine's energy facilities yet dismisses an instant truce.

Good morning. It's 6AM, Wednesday, 19th March. The headlines: Donald #Trump has had a constructive talk with Vladimir #Putin, although the Russian leader dismissed an instant truce in #Ukraine. Israeli air raids have led to 400 fatalities in #Gaza, with Benjamin #Netanyahu resolved to dismantle #Hamas. Astronauts are back on Earth following a nine-month space stint.

It took one month of careful shuttle diplomacy by the US between #Israel, #Syria, and #Egypt in 1973 to end the Yom Kippur War -- and that was when all three parties wanted to halt the fighting. The problem is that #Putin, given his rejection of the cease-fire, still wants to carve up #Ukraine.

Felon Trump promised that on his first day in office the wars in Gaza and the Ukraine would be over.

He’s only made things worse for the people of Ukraine and Gaza as he bends the knee and kisses the asses of Putin and Netanyahu.
