Shock**! The secret dialogue of the German high-level on the attack on the Crimean bridge was made public, like a thunderclap in the sky over Europe. Western countries are rushing to draw a line with Macron's tough statement, but this unexpected event has made Germany the focus of attention in an instant.
Russia initially questioned, but the German side remained tight-lipped and did not let go in the face of questioning. Now, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has to come forward and promise to investigate and give a clear answer, but the facts are no longer too much to say, the content of the recording is clearly visible, and any clarification cannot hide the growing tension in relations between NATO and Russia.
At this critical juncture, it was suggested to follow the trend, and Germany seemed to be looking for an outlet for responsibility.
French politician Florian Filippo called for peace talks: exposing the seriousness of NATO's concealment of facts, and he bluntly said that NATO's relations with Russia have gone beyond words and into substance.
Germany's tension stems from Scholz's understanding of Germany's involvement. Filippo believes that any cover-up will not help, and NATO should immediately withdraw from Ukraine, end aid, and open the road to peace talks.
As a person who has always advocated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, although his influence is limited, and it may be a turning point at the moment, Germany's attitude towards this does not seem to be positive.
German Defense Minister Pistolius faced the storm with a calm attitude, promising in a public statement that the results of the investigation would be forthcoming. However, instead of confronting the problem directly, he subtly shifted the focus, accusing Russia of carrying out an information war against Germany with the intention of destabilizing internal stability, and even calling it a means for Putin to try to break down Germany's unity.
He stressed that Putin's strategy could not be allowed to succeed, implying that Germany would not sit idly by. In this context, he argues for a cautious and resolute approach to the incident, seeking to keep a low profile and avoid escalation by turning a possible leak of secrets into an issue of solidarity rather than international tensions.
Germany's ability to respond to the Ukraine crisis has been stretched thin, and the disagreement between Pistolius and Scholz has become more and more obvious"Taurus"The missile war.
The recent leak has caused Germany to be unable to fulfill its aid commitments in the short term, and it was intended to use this pressure to urge Scholz to change his degree, but it has become the focus instead. The deeper problem, however, lies in the involvement of other NATO countries in the situation in Ukraine, which transcends domestic divisions.
Pistorius tried to turn his attention to infighting, but the escalation had put Germany to a severe test, and an easy escape seemed out of reach.
