German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer needs to pay more attention to the statements she makes, head of the Federation Council’s Information Policy Commission Aleksey Pushkov wrote on his Telegram channel on October 27.
The senator thus commented on the words of German political analyst Alexander Sosnovsky, who noted Moscow’s previously unprecedented speed of reaction to the German official’s words about the need to speak to Moscow from a position of strength.
After this statement had been made, the German military attaché was summoned to the Russian Defense Ministry to discuss the statements of the German military leadership about containing Russia. The German attaché also received a note. According to a Russian defense minister, “such statements provoke tension in Europe and do not promote the normalization of the situation.”
“The German Defense Minister should watch her words. And remember history,” Pushkov noted.
“Arrogance and threatening language is a bad policy in relations with a great nuclear power,” he added.
In Germany, the statement of Kramp-Karrenbauer provoked irritation. Thus, the chairman of the fraction of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in the Bundestag Rolf Mützenich pointed out that the Minister’s words were irresponsible. He asked her not to burden the future work of the new government with such statements in the future.
The readers of the German magazine Der Spiegel share this opinion. According to some of them, the German Defense Minister’s statements about the use of nuclear arms against Russia are “fantasies. Moreover, German citizens are certain that such statements make people doubt her competence and adequacy.”
For his part, German political analyst Alexander Rahr noted in a commentary to the Russian media that Kramp-Karrenbauer is leaving politics, that her career is over, and that is why she wants to make history. According to him, the scandalous minister has done nothing as head of the defense ministry, dealing, like her predecessor Ursula von der Leyen, “mainly with gender issues and not with the armament of the German army.”
