The coalition crisis shows that the green policies, which are already causing a populist upset in much of Europe, are now creating instability in one of the EU’s most powerful governments.

Although U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has claimed that Beijing may be considering providing lethal aid to Moscow, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says the EU has received “no evidence” from the U.S. that verifies this claim.

The leftist foreign minister is well-known for her pronouncements on sexual violence towards women in the Ukraine conflict and the abortion issue in the U.S.

The French president explained that Volodymyr Zelensky had been “a great war leader” up to that point, but that he now had to complete his transformation into a true statesman, even at the cost of “difficult decisions.”

The two statesmen appear perfectly aligned on continued military support for Ukraine, according to their statements at the Munich International Security Conference.

Chancellor Scholz’ hesitation might have served a purpose. Not wanting to be left holding the bag should things turn sour, Scholz got the U.S. on board first.

The international pressure on Germany was so strong that the promise to deliver tanks was made before the exact terms of the delivery had been decided.

While there is a clear desire within much of the political establishment for Christine Lambrecht to be replaced, Chancellor Scholz is not too keen on sacrificing his fellow SDP party member.

Scholz, despite warning that Germany is preparing for another round of sanctions, left the door for future economic cooperation with Russia open once the war is brought to an end.
