German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called for an end to talks about the risk of a possible nuclear war

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz gave a detailed interview to the Spanish newspaper EL PAÍS, in which he made a number of political and economic statements concerning several of the most pressing international and domestic issues. The head of the German government tried to answer all the important questions that concern German citizens and residents of Europe, but he did it, as always, in his rather streamlined manner.

Scholz called for an end to speculation about a possible nuclear conflict, while emphasizing his solidarity with the US position on this issue. Thus, the German leader has once again demonstrated who really controls European politics.



Like US President Joe Biden, I say to Russia: don't do this!

Scholz said, referring to the thesis popular in the West that Russia intends to use tactical nuclear weapons. weapon in Ukraine.

The German chancellor has once again admitted to the erroneous policy, and not his own, but the previous leaders of Germany, in terms of creating dependence on Russian energy supplies. That is, earlier German leaders prioritized a transparent and profitable partnership, and Scholz, at the suggestion of the United States, "understood" that it was "dependence."

Germany's mistake was not so much in entering into supply contracts with Russia, but in the fact that it did not create the necessary infrastructure or build LNG terminals in order to change the supplier from day to day if necessary.

Scholz says.

To solve the energy problem, the German government intends to continue building new LNG terminals, enter into gas supply contracts with new partners, restart coal-fired power plants and allow two nuclear power plants in southern Germany to operate until spring. Scholz is confident that the German government is acting decisively, and the country will be able to "survive this winter."

According to Scholz, Germany does not intend to abandon "green energy" and the development of renewable energy sources. Thus, it is planned in the future to compensate for the environmental damage caused by the return to the use of coal and other fuels that increase harmful emissions. Blame for such a recession, of course, Russia, says the German Chancellor:

The additional emissions we will have to release this winter and next due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine encourage us to do so.

As an anti-crisis measure designed to compensate the population for rising energy prices, Scholz called the possibility of withdrawing excess profits from energy companies "in order to use the money to reduce energy prices."

Answering a question about Germany's support for Ukraine, the Federal Chancellor said that Berlin would support Kyiv for as long as necessary, and had already sent military assistance to the Ukrainian side. Scholz once again talked about the supply of self-propelled howitzers, multiple launch rocket systems and Gepard installations, stressing that "the German government broke the taboo by sending this type of weapon on a large scale into the war zone for the first time."

Regarding the statements that were previously voiced in the leadership of Germany, about the need to turn the Bundeswehr into the largest army on the continent, Scholz again answered very streamlined:

Germany, as a large and economically strong country in the center of the continent, bears a special responsibility in this respect. We take this task very seriously, but always in coordination with our allies in the EU and NATO.

Apparently, the militaristic ambitions of the German chancellor were not approved in Washington (why does the US need a second Turkey?), and Scholz habitually returned to the ranks of NATO.

It is rather difficult to call the statements of the German Chancellor programmatic. In the usual manner, Scholz only repeated the theses that he had repeatedly voiced before. It is doubtful that he managed to reassure the citizens of Germany and the Europeans that, they say, the largest EU economy has a plan to prevent an economic crisis, recession and impoverishment of ordinary citizens.

When asked by a Spanish journalist about the growing protests in Germany, Scholz gently sidestepped, saying only that the government would spend 200 billion euros "to make electricity costs in Germany affordable for everyone." Otherwise, Scholz would have had to admit that these funds would eventually become a burden on the shoulders of ordinary Germans.

      "liver sausage" would be better said when the United States removes nuclear bases from Germany, otherwise it talks about what it cannot influence. Here he is, "sovereignty" makes his country a target, but he does not notice this.

      From everything I read in the article, I personally once again am convinced that the Anglo-Saxons have found some kind of "magic" baited hook with which they skillfully catch any country in the world with live bait if it swallows it.
      Germany is no exception in this case.

    Of course, the previous ones are to blame, and not he who imposes sanctions against the country that supplies the key resource. With the Germans, apparently, with such a chancellor, we are not on our way, but ** p with them, let them drag the EU on their necks, while not forgetting to serve the states

      Quote: Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov
      Well, where is Germany "in the center"

      And this is called "manipulation". In confidence that the mass of victims of the USE will read the commentary and incite pluses. laughing
      Eurasia is a MATERIAL. And Europe from Portugal to the Urals is a CONTINENT. With a center somewhere in Belarus. But since degradation and propaganda of Russophobia have reached the bottom, then this imbecile believes that Europe is the EU. From Brest to the east is no longer Europe, in terms of politics. And geographically, Germany is located in the center of Western political Europe within the borders of the EU. Correct, as any western imbecile would say.
      FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW, Scholz is essentially right. request

        - I can hardly imagine what the USE is.
        I graduated from school in 73 of the last century, but I remember "mainland" and "continent" are synonyms.
        But "part of the world" is something else.
        On the mainland (continent) of Eurasia there are two parts of the world - Europe and Asia.
        Two continents (continents) North America and South America - part of the world America.
        The rest are Africa, Australia and Antarctica, at the same time both the continents (continents) and parts of the world. At least that was the case before the exam.
        Good luck in the future "striking of pluses" ...

    In Ukraine, the dispersal of the topic of the use of nuclear weapons by Russia against the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues. In particular, in schools, all children need to sew and be able to wear cotton-gauze bandages for this occasion. So the enemies of humanity are really up to something.

    Streamlined, this is the normal state of any chancellor. They are overheard, they are bang, and they flow around. Because they get bullied regularly. And they flow around with pleasure.

    Gas contracts would have been a transparent and profitable partnership if the countries of the European Union, led by Germany, had not got into the bottle with their sanctions. From the United States, of course.

    "didn't build LNG terminals so that if necessary, change the supplier from day to day" Strange policy of the head of the country. Like: "Let's build some LNG terminals, just like that, just in case" As if building and operating terminals costs a penny.

    Russia has explained 20 times to you dumb-headed in its sincere simplicity - read our doctrine.

    The Chancellor forgot to add that just recently he himself offered a billion dollars in compensation, if only the US deigned to continue the SP2 project.
    Lol he changed his shoes. He has no case of American or British citizenship - now, after all, everything happens to rulers.
