Friends head '% Putin and Schöder

To be considered Putin's friend these days is an insult to empathy. But Germany's former cavalari, Gerhard Schröder, is proud. It says all about his character, writes Marcel Fürstenau.

There is war in Europe. Russian aggression against Ukraine. Vladimir Putin gave the order on February 24, 2022. Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had tried in vain to change the ruler's attitude in the Kremlin. Putin himself gave the guests a few words for his best friend outside Russia: Germans should be grateful for Gerhard Schöder. Former cellari is an independent <x0=x1> and a correct “man”.
With praise from the mouth of a likely war criminal has been taught by the social Democrat gas lobby. Both men have been perfectly understood for several years. Schröder's claim that Putin is “a guiltless democrat” is legendary and speaks separately. Two braggarts follow each other with praise and cast sand in the eyes of others. Last example: Schroeder's statements in interview with “York Times. ”
Schroeder as Putin's personal spokesman
That man, who for decades likes himself in the position of what others have to hear, lowers his voice when it comes to his friend Putin. What I can tell you is, Putin is interested in ending the war. But this is not that simple. There are some things that need to be explained.” Schröder sounds like a personal spokesman for the former Russian agent. Someone speaks bullshit and tries to make the impression, because he knows more than he says. This is an old man's self-consequential form that his empty phrases hold to a state man's rhetoric. At a time when Schroeder missed the chance to become a “Elder Stateman” like Helmut Schmidt, Richard von Weizsäcker, shortly after losing in 2005 against Angela Merkel serving Putin as the doorkeeper opening the door for energy deals with Germany.
Schroeder could turn into an example
The desire for self - help has been an important feature of maskist Schöder. The labels, like “Boss' friend”, he deserved them. Former leftist politician (Schröder has always been president of the new Socialists) has always liked and likes to be equal to bosses weighing millions. And that's not a charge. After all, Schröder managed to climb his career from the humble layer. Viewed by that prospect could also be an example. But he has never lost sight of a self - indulgent arrogant person who added to it, that he always had his own center. And who puts himself in the spirit has a tendency to overestimate.
German March: “a friend, a good friend”
Like his private visit to Putin after the war began. Apparently he really believed that he could convince his friend to stop the war immediately. Maybe Schroeder dreamed of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, in case he succeeded. But he actually turned his tail through the saddle from Moscow to his hometown, Hanover. Not a word was heard about his encounter with the battlemonger in the Kremlin. Kremlin's conduct recalls almost another popular march song in Germany in the 1930 ' s. “A friend, a good friend.” This song in the second verse continues: “A friend always remains a friend, even if the world goes down.” It's not that far. But Vladimir Putin's troops since February 24th 2022 have destroyed large parts of Ukraine and killed thousands. And for Gerhard Schönder, this is no reason to give up friendship with Putin. /Marcel Fürstenau - DW/
