German Chancellor Olaf Scholz delivers anti-Russian tirade at the United Nations
Wednesday’s warmongering anti-Russian diatribe at the United Nations by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has made clear that German imperialism, guilty of the most horrific crimes in human history, is again on the warpath.
Scholz condemned those who call for an “immediate ceasefire” in the Ukraine war. Rather, the German chancellor cynically declared, “Peace without freedom is oppression. Peace without justice is a diktat.”

Scholz portrayed Russia as waging a war of annihilation against Ukraine, using murder, torture and the mass extermination of civilians as instruments of state policy. “Russian troops have murdered, raped and tortured. They are razing towns and villages to the ground,” Scholz said.
Such language actually describe the crimes of Nazi Germany in the Second World War, which waged a racially-motivated vernichtungskrieg, or war of extermination, involving the deliberate starvation and mass murder of civilian populations, accompanied by the extermination of Eastern Europe’s Jewish population.
In a 1963 speech at Georgetown University, US President John F. Kennedy described the effect of the Second World War on the Soviet Union. “At least 20 million lost their lives,” he said. “Countless millions of homes and farms were burned or sacked. A third of the nation’s territory, including nearly two-thirds of its industrial base, was turned into a wasteland—a loss equivalent to the devastation of this country east of Chicago.”

- Even amid the Cold War, the leader of American imperialism felt obligated to acknowledge the extraordinary toll of the war on the Soviet Union.

A mood of crisis
Dealing with the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic and defense issues in the wake of the war in Ukraine have torn deep holes in the state budget.
- The "debt brake" limiting state expenditure is enshrined in the constitution is creating additional pressure in the coalition.
- The FDP does not want to incur any new debts from 2024.
- This is to be achieved through massive budget cuts while raising taxes for the rich is out of the question for the liberals.
The economy is weakening, energy-intensive production facilities may be moved abroad because of the high electricity prices.
In the face of inflation, citizens are wondering how to manage their daily expenses.
Anyone looking for an affordable apartment faces almost insurmountable problems and the mayors in towns and communities no longer know where to accommodate asylum seekers.

Satisfaction in German government plummets
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government has seen its lowest approval ratings since coming to power in 2021. The far-right continues to see a surge in support.
Despite efforts to project unity, Germany's ruling coalition is failing to win back the approval of voters, according to the latest "Deutschlandtrend" survey published Thursday (31.8.).
The latest figures show record lows for Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government, while the opposition conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) as well as the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) continue their upward trend.
It's the lowest Deutschlandtrend satisfaction rating for the German government since the coalition began work in December 2021. . .The initial euphoria with which the unprecedented alliance took over the government in December 2021 has given way to disillusionment. The notion that different political beliefs can be put aside for the sake of a common goal has proven to be a fallacy in everyday government life.
Economy, immigration top list of concerns... issues that topped the list of concerns a few months ago dropped in the minds of German voters. Concerns over Russia's war in Ukraine fell by 16 points, while worries about climate change as well as energy policy fell by 8 points.
