Baerbock Says It’s Been a Long Time Since Germany Fought a Major War

To be fair, I don’t think anyone expected German tanks to be rolling through the Ukraine in some kind of reverse Nazism situation.

It makes sense no one was really prepared for this one.

Some of the weapons Berlin has given Kiev to aid in its fight against Russia were either in bad condition or outdated, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has admitted.

In an interview with CNN released on Monday, Baerbock admitted major technical issues with arms being delivered to Ukraine, conceding that the effort to furnish Kiev with weapons has been hamstrung by delays.

Baerbock pointed out that Ukraine would not benefit from promises to deliver arms that remain unfulfilled, or shipments of inoperable military equipment. “Some of our systems are really old-fashioned… and we said in the beginning that some are not functioning,” she said, explaining that this is due to the fact that Germany had not fought in a major war in many decades.

When was the last time Germany fought a major war?

Was it with Russia?

What was the context? 

“When we deliver something, it has to work in the field,” she stressed, adding that this was the reason why Germany has not provided Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles which she described as extremely sophisticated.

“This is the newest thing [we have], so we have to be clear on every detail, how does it work, who can actually operate it. Yes, it takes some time… but when we deliver it, it has to work,” she noted, adding that the same considerations apply to some other German-made armaments.

Most people weren’t really planning on doing a major war this century, I think, because there is no reason to do it other than lunacy. Resource scarcity was solved by technological development.

It’s all women out there pushing for this war, of course. They don’t fight in wars, but they really like the idea of war.

Madam Baerbock needs to stop thinking about piles of corpses and start thinking about counting carbs. This bitch is a mess.
