German Lawmaker In Blistering Ukraine Speech To Parliament: "Have You All Lost Your Minds?"
Sahra Wagenknecht was long well-known as one of the leading members of the Left Party (Die Linke), but currently she's head of the recently formed Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance – Reason and Justice. She recently gave a stirring and rare, courageous speech warning against the German government being on the warpath with Russia, also as a handful of European leaders, with France's Macron leading the way, even contemplating sending Western troops to Ukraine as a viable 'option'.
"Have you all lost your minds?" she questioned members of the Bundestag. She said in the speech: "The Scholz government has already crossed one red line after the other. In the meantime we reached the point where German Air Force officers calmly debate how to destroy Russian targets with German cruise missiles..." She continued, "The scandal is that we have reached a point where it has become normal to have such debates."
Wagenknecht went on: "Our grandiose military experts from the Greens have been telling us for two years now what 'game changer' we have to deliver next so that Ukraine can win this war." The hawks "dream" about using German missiles to "destroy ministries in Moscow," she said. "And when the pope speaks out against this madness, saying that Kiev should negotiate rather than drive the country to suicide, he was called a 'Putin troll'." She then emphasized, "The whole world outside the German political bubble knows that Ukraine cannot with this war. For a long time there has been no winning in Ukraine. There has only been.. bloody dying day in and day out. And Taurus missiles won't change any of that." Watch the German lawmaker's speech with English captions below:
