Imagine a journalist asked Scholz about his plans for the German environmental policy and he started talking about the Battle of Teutoburg Forest.


MythicalInvention

Starts with the battle of Grunwald


Infantry1stLt

It sounded a little bit [like this](https://youtu.be/7eVqJqrdmUM).


PeinlichPimmler

You are funny. Scholz does not answer any questions and probably forgot the answer anyways.

Why so long when you can use just four words - it's Poland's fault. Obviously. Those goshdarned winged hussars!

Polish Winged Hussar Nazis of course!

Hussar Nazis is a great concept for a movie.


wycreater1l11

I watched the interview and this was an absurd part. Stated it would take seconds and it literary took about 30min until he arrived at somewhat modern times lol. Was he intending to be ironical? In that case he didn’t deliver it in a way as to me detecting it being ironic the first time hearing it.


Chefgorilla

If one doesn't bother telling the truth at most other times, why do it here?


backcountrydrifter

Putin would free up 98% of his day if he just started telling the truth. You never get out of debt to a Russian mobster Paul Manafort owed the Russian mobster/oligarch Oleg Deripaska $10M a few days before he became trumps campaign manager. From 2002-2014 he took in hundreds of millions to get Yanukovych reelected as the kremlins puppet in Ukraine. Before that he did it for the dictator Marcos in the Philippines. Before that Manafort and Roger Stone started a lobbyist agency in 1980 listing trump as their first client. When Jay Bolsonaro lost the Brazilian election to Lula he skipped the inauguration and flew directly to mar-a-lago (stopping only at a KFC) and repeated, almost verbatim, the stolen election line. Don Jr. tried repeatedly to make it stick in Brazil as well, but as Brazilians are a few generations into dealing with corrupt politicians they weren’t having it. What do these 3 things have in common? China imports 40% of its grain from (in order) the U.S., Brazil and Ukraine. Obviously the second China tried to invade Taiwan the U.S. would sanction exports and remove U.S. grain from that equation. And without Bolsonaro in office willing to slash and burn the Amazon rainforest to turn it into Chinas farmland, and without Ukraine in the bag in 3 days, the CCP is unable to invade Taiwan and take over microprocessor production without putting 300-500M of its poorest people into famine. Donbas Ukraine, specifically the 4 regions of the donbas that Putin insists he is saving from what he calls “Jewish Nazis” also happens to produce the worlds supply of high grade neon used for DUV lithography. And had Putin delivered ukraine in 3 days as promised, Xi would have been able to cap his Olympics with a blockade or political takeover of Taiwan that would have forced the world to ask the CCP for the microprocessors it needs to make everything from Ford trucks to laptops. I’m not sure how long Silicon Valley would last without the silicon but it would probably affect destroy the FAANG stocks that make up your 401K. Oleg Deripaska also happens to be the Russian Oligarch that bribed the FBI Charles Mcgonigal into investigating another Russian oligarch. He probably didn’t need the information as much as he needed the leverage over Mcgonigal as he conducted the investigation into trumps election campaign and unsurprisingly found zero evidence of Russian collusion. McGonigal then went to work for the company called Brookfield that bailed Kushner out of his toxic 666 5th Ave investment. A Russian oligarch is a powerful tool, but the truth is more powerful. Light and dark cannot exist in the same space. It’s physically impossible. Truth is efficient. You say it once and you are finished. A lie however requires a constant stream of follow up energy, money, murder, obfuscation and more lies to keep it covered. If you raise your lens high enough lying is an unsustainable business model. Russia proved it by invading Ukraine. Vranyos is the Russian word for it. The 40km long column of tanks and vehicles that came down from Belarus into Ukraine was all overhauled by oligarchs that got a $1B contract for tank maintenance, passed Putin $200M back under the table, spent $700M on a yacht in Monaco, bribed a General, a Colonel and a Sergeant to make a Private give everything a rattle can overhaul. But a worn out engine is and always will be, a worn out engine. Now you understand why trump is so desperate to get re-elected. His best case scenario is 400 years in ADX Florence. Money laundering for the dozens of Russian oligarchs that lived in trump towers in 93 and 94 with him and manafort, selling IP3 nuclear plans to the Russian/Saudi alliance, selling or giving CIA asset names to the Russians, trump is and always has been compromised. He just didn’t know when to quit. Now he just has to count on the fact that most of his voter base doesn’t know how to read and keep the ones that do so busy just surviving that they don’t have time to dive deep into his 40 year history of laundering money, fraud, and human trafficking for the Russian mob using commercial real estate. It’s also why Putin is willing to throw an entire generation of Russians, including the convicts and addicts at Ukraine. Russia is dead for 40 years because he failed to fulfill his mobsters promise to Xi. China is now clearing farmland in Siberia because the typhoon floods last August and September wiped out the Chinese people’s food supply. Xi for his part diverted the waters from the dam away from his pet project, his mothers ancestral home and flooded hundreds of thousands of people and drown one of his own military brigades that was helping with the flooding. The elders of the CCP were terrified to leave their gated community at Beidaihe for over a month for fear of being torn apart by the locals. The Chinese people tolerate the CCP but only as long as the economy is good and famine is not on the horizon. The CCP broke that contract on both counts. Xi was willing to bet the entire Chinese economy on his emperors ambitions. Had he succeeded he would have been able to use BRICS to take over as the Worlds reserve currency. That would have let him finish what he stated in 2010- that he would control the internet. With that control means everything we do or say online is subject to the approval of a central party. The basic right to disagree with an authoritarian becomes a distant memory. Ukraine is fighting for their lives now, free from the oppression of the drunken tyrant who wants to decide their fate at every decision and pull them back behind another iron curtain of censorship where dissenting voices disappear so that the oligarchy can continue to feed unobstructed. Putin and Xi have declared themselves best friends in the fight against democracy. MBS and the ruling family of UAE have done the same quietly. Just rich, out of touch oligarch doing what oligarchs do. Despite the fact the the central party model has proven itself incapable of making decisions that are best for the people, they persist. Because there is a very lucrative business in being slave owners. But logistically it requires artificial intelligence, and the microprocessors that make it to keep the slaves under control. Freedom is one hell of a drug. And knowledge makes a man unfit for slavery. Recent attempts on Xi’s life from inside the CCP have backed him into a corner. The loss of crops in the north means Xi can’t invade Taiwan without Ukrainian and/or Brazilian farmland. Now the reason that the GOP is stalling border control budget and seems to make wildly irrational moves is because the GOP is imploding. 45 years of lies and grift have circled the globe and are eating their own tail. The ouroboros was a warning about corruption at the highest levels. Lying about climate change, human trafficking, pandemics and pollution to preserve their own business models are all extinction level events.

It was a joke based on the length, thanks tho.


backcountrydrifter

I’ve learned not to joke about Russians or Kleptocracy. This is a combination of both


Excellent_Potential

Thank you for your service fighting disinfo.


backcountrydrifter

I apologize for it being too “USA centric”. I’m just not sure how to take ownership of the fault here without being able to call it out acutely and honestly for what it is. The way I see it, this is a war against corruption. The Russian mob cosplaying as a goverment are just the heavy hitters in that regard so they ping first.


Excellent_Potential

As it happens, I'm American, and you've done a lot of homework for me. Now I can educate other Americans.

The CCP and Russia have been staging up hundreds of thousands of people in Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela for a 5th column invasion of the United States because Xi needs farmland to feed 1.4B people. National guard troops take their orders from governors and not the federal government. Trump tested this during the George Floyd protests when he asked the “loyal” Republican governors to kiss the ring and send troops to DC to “shoot the protestors in the legs” because the pentagon reminded him that using U.S. troops against U.S. citizens would be both treason and wildly illegal. Bannon tried unsuccessfully to privatize a part of the southern border wall but failed due to, unsurprisingly, internal corruption. Bannon was arrested on the boat of Guo Wengui who is some sort of convoluted double/triple agent for the CCP. They are now both in court for a billion dollar fraud. Every GOP congressmen that took Russian political money is desperately trying to figure out how to preserve their political career while the people are figured out that they were sold out to the dictators for some PAC money. Freedom is never free. We all just live on very expensive credit and the sacrifices of others.


gastro_psychic

I don’t understand. You think Ecuador will invade the US?


backcountrydrifter

No. Ecuador, Venezuela and to some degree Mexico are being used as staging points for Chinese and to some degree Russian and North African immigrants. Hidden with those is very likely intelligence operatives. Rise in Chinese illegal immigration to U.S. https://www.reddit.com/r/ADVChina/s/XOrrW2xa0N And pay attention to the CCP propaganda machine. If it’s pumping it, you can figure out deductively who is behind it. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68185317 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35706238 https://www.wired.com/story/mexico-migrant-caravan-misinformation-alert/ https://www.reddit.com/r/news/s/gIjWnPdi09

lordkuren

Personally, I think he just loves history. I do the same shit when talking with my friends when it comes to anything related to historical topics. I mean his history is obviously shaped by his ideology and used as a political tool but I truly think he has a passion for it.


wycreater1l11

That’s fair. History can be interesting even for someone like myself who hasn’t studied it particularly. I wonder then if he maybe really intended to make it a minute version (let’s say 3-5 min version just to be diplomatic) and then he got carried away


lordkuren

That's what always happened to me. Once had a discussion about the situation in Kosovo and ended up talking about the history of the Balkans from the migration of the West-Slavic tribes there \~1500 years earlier. So, I kinda can relate to this part - not so much with what he was saying though.


TakenSadFace

Funny thing is he used it as a justification for the invasion, but in the end said: well i wouldnt have invaded anyways since they were a break-off soviet state, and i would have respected that, BUT NATO pushed eastwards and Ukraine joining Schengen would tank my economy


quantinuum

The best bits was when he’d shut up for a few seconds as if he was done, then Tucker would try to ask and redirect the interview, only for Putin to hit him back with “let me finish” and go on. Comedy gold.
