Former German diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger says Western leaders should be making more threats and be willing to follow them through.
The West should spend less time fretting about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s red lines and set its own, says veteran German diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger.
“Russia keeps saying, if you do this, if you cross this or that red line, we might escalate,” said the 78-year-old onetime chairman of the Munich Security Conference. “Why don’t we turn this thing around and say to them: ‘We have lines and if you bomb one more civilian building, then you shouldn’t be surprised if, say, we deliver Taurus cruise missiles or America allows Ukraine to strike military targets inside Russia’?”
That way the onus will be on Moscow to decide whether to cross the red lines — or face the consequences.
Uhm… what? Kept fleeing to Muslim lands? Antisemitism a European thing… wow… someone did a number on you man… I’d suggest you ask for a refund from school.
Uh… What? Yes they kept fleeing to Muslim lands at least learn the history of the people whose Apartheid you’re rooting for (not that Israel represents Jews as a whole I know that’s not the case). A large fraction of Egyptian Jews, for example, were originally from Spain and were expelled due to the Reconquista, and the first two Aliyahs were European Jews escaping from pogroms to the more tolerant Ottoman empire. Also modern Muslim anti-semitism was, in fact, imported from Europe in the 19th century and strongly intensified due to the conflict with Zionists. Again, learn the history of the people whose Apartheid you’re rooting for and the people whose oppression you’re rooting for before you make ignorant statements again.
