German Chancellor Olaf Scholz - We will defend every square inch

Not only are there no initiatives whatsoever coming from the German and European sides to end the war in Ukraine.Show more

What's worse, it's the unofficial German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, of all people, who is increasingly playing the role of war chancellor. Pithy sayings that sound like mockery coming out of his mouth and astonishing PR images as a "fighter pilot" are intended to underscore the change in image. The result is as implausible as it is ridiculous.

Like a Dachshund pretending to be a Rottweiler: This may have occurred to one or the other observer as he followed Scholz's latest media staging: During the NATO maneuver "Air Defender," the stodgy chancellor did not miss the opportunity to demonstratively climb into the cockpit of a Eurofighter himself during a visit to Jagel Air Base in Schleswig-Holstein.
