The German people are waking up
Germany is waking up. Bravo to the German nation. We need peace, not these artificially provoked wars funded by the money of certain Western powers. Germany was built on cheap Russian gas
What a surprise, small town former east Germany still thinks like Soviet times, would wave them marching in again, ok got it
Oh no not the far right!😢😢😢😢😂
The swamp is in panic. People see through their lies, but they don't have a reverse gear.
Far right? But they are actually more resononable than this fool
Now DW is even scaring by bringing in a panel on “favorable analytics.” Now an expert will become DW’s chief editor, because they need to control 100% of the narrative about the Ukraine war.
Everyone wants peace, but Putin doesn't. When Putin comes knocking on Poland's door or the Baltic countries' door you'll wish you'd supported Ukraine.
This woman is freaking out. Her theatrics are hilarious. Congrats from Texas.
Vocês são RIDÍCULOS!
So she is anti immigrant, a lesbian who is against LGBT but has Bangladeshi partner, born in Austria but living in Switzerland..?
I am confused 😂
Oh, no, less money for golden toilets! 🚽
Hey Ulrich Siegmund, if you get what you wish for it won't be long and you won't have to worry about park benches, swimming pools, schools or hospitals any more because that'll be all gone🖕🏻
Germany had more benefits from Russia than they will ever have from Ukraine
No more aid to illegal aliens.
Ms Baerbock and Others said" Germany Will support Ukraine, no matter what our Voters say". Bad politics, should convince, not mandate voters. Consistently Eu elite arrogance, have taken far to much power in Eu. Sovereign nations should have more control not Ms Kallas and Van der Lyen, they hurt Germany more than Russia with their sanctions, Net Zero zealotry no more nuclear or coal, deindustrization. Bad politics. Not virtous as they believe. World will go on regardless of what occurs in Ukraine.
That German AFD loser has the IQ of the park bench he mentioned. He doesn’t get it (re: Ukraine), just like T-bag doesn’t get it.
german only want the war ,they are just trying to smear afd to continue sending of billions to war
AfD is the way. No to wars. No to immigration. Ban all religion. Atheism is the way of life
Stop funding Ukraine!
It's difficult to support democracy fully when it does not give the results you want.
Please, it's the "Western" value system, not the "world". The civilised world has very different values.
CDU LEADER LOOKS LIKE A GRUMPY GAY
Germans didn't learn anything from WW2…
It’s actually quite easy to stop the war. Russia could just leave the territory they invaded under a false flag ‘special military operation’. Case closed and we can all go on with our lives.
Another Russian asset in power in Europe.
If Germany and others ever leave Ukraine to be overrun by that trant putin then you all will have your self to blame when he starts sending drones into your country
