Watching Germany's increasingly speedy slide into the alternate "Clown World" universe is morbidly fascinating.

Annalena Baerbock may be the world's most inept foreign minister, acting like she was hired straight out of high school. (One might say that Antony Blinken in the US is worse, but maybe that's just because he's had more and better opportunities to screw up.) I guess she didn't get the email that one must always precede any reference to Russia's SMO with the pejorative "unprovoked".

Lately we hear reports of the persecution of C.J. Hopkins in the German courts--what a sad joke. I thought Germany was a free speech democracy.

Now here we have Scholz pirouetting like a ballerina, and in his "opposite world" reality, asserting that pushing for more weapons to Ukraine is advocating for peace, and it is those calling for real peace that are the actual warmongers.

All Germany needs is a banana plantation for its transformation to be complete.
