He meant to say "thoughtless conversations between two fascist dictators".

The problem is that I don’t think legitimacy matters anymore! They don’t care if they are legitimate. They are acting anyway! And we are letting them because we are trying to go through legitimate channels!

Steinmeier is a controversial politician because of Nordstream in Germany btw. And he doesn't like to be reminded of it. I recommend a speech of Marko Martin where Steinmeier sat front row fuming in anger. Epic burn.

Steinmeier.
„One for you one for me“
Good wording, though.

Quite a toasty reply off the Germans, and the Trump regime has got Poland hissing and spitting too. Trump put a match to relationships with Europe and stuffed himself.

Worth a watch for anyone who wants a high level view of the geopolitics and views from Europe.

Eesh, it’s so painful. In a month, the US has become a pariah among Democracies in the world. Ugh

So is it going to be the USA, Great Britain and Russia against Germany again? Will “thoughtless conversations or reckless statements…crush our resolve?” What words of folly! Does Germany think it will crush Russia?
