DW: German defense minister lambasted over NYE Ukraine message
German media has mocked a "tone-deaf" video put out by Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht. She was slammed for discussing the war in Ukraine as people set off fireworks.
German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht came under fire on Monday for what has been considered a tone-deaf video published on her social media account.
Lambrecht shared the video on Instagram, in which she appears on a street in Berlin during chaotic New Year's celebrations.
Her reflections of the "war raging in the middle of Europe" — in reference to the already 10-month-long war in Ukraine — have been called insensitive with the backdrop of loud fireworks blasting behind her.
German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel said the address failed to "hit the right tone," instead painting the war as an "exciting professional experience."

Germany is almost demilitarised, it makes no difference who is in charge
I would hazard a guess that to join a political party & attain high office throughout Europe, you absolutely need to be sponsored & completely be controlled by a globalist supervillain, like Blofeld, Dr No, Lex Luthor or Fu Manchu... Keep ducking.....
Germany has been appointing nonentities as MoD for decades. Who would want it? Little money, little visibility at the Chancellor’s level and a lot of responsibility.
Coalition govts are so funny. The most simple people get positioned into the most important roles.
the address failed to "hit the right tone,"
Fuck that. If the people who preached that got results 90% of the time or something like that, you could listen to them and feel like you are learning something. You could emulate them.
The preachers of tone give us process and no good results.
About the MoD being female. The last 3 have been female So 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 or 12.5% chance.
6.25% for 4 in a row.
3.125% chance for 5 in a row.
1.5% chance for 6 in a row.
At 5 or 6 in a row we would definitely have structural sexism.
Member of parliament for over 23 years. Law degree. Member of the bar in Germany or their equivalent? Justice Minister for 2 years. Families Minister for a few months. Now MoD
Can't find much wrong in wiki in her stint in MoD, but Wiki does not have much. I would have to say any deficiency of in the German military would be that of the generals, voters, PM, MMPs and MoD. MoD cannot pull that train alone.
Not impressed, but not impressed with Medvedev or the other clowns. In fact much less impressed with them other than their cupidity and stupidity.
Who the fuck cares if she discussed Ukraine with fireworks in the background? It seems that almost everyone is a weeping little snowflake these days. Would they prefer a background of goose-stepping troops carrying submachineguns? LOL that would really make liberal heads explode!
