**Michael Kuź:Gazeta Poland:“Is Germany inactive the West?”**
"The problem of Germany is that they want to be a country of civilization and politically "western" and invest a lot in this image. But more and more shows that at the time of the trial, any German elites can opt for their own way and effort to build an Eurasian arrangement. Under large force Berlin increased its assistance to Ukraine. In absolute numbers, he is even the second donor after the United States. But the Devil is in the details. Ukraine slow bleeds out under force from the Russian offensive, while, as Olaf Scholz has already revealed, Taurus maneuvering missiles to Ukraine will not hit. Not to mention fighters. There is no uncertainty that Germany could do more in relation to its GDP. Meanwhile, Russia declared war on demolition in Ukraine and indirectly in Europe respective months ago. This means political neo-totalitarianism, purgatory, including the elimination of all political competition, and, in fact, full militarisation of industry. The second has already occurred a fewer months ago and is peculiarly alarming. Estonian MON estimates that Russia presently produces even 7 times more ammunition than Western countries. Tank production has doubled since the outbreak of the war. Moreover, Russia can number on the solidarity of its allies, Iran, North Korea and China to a greater degree than Ukraine. They send the Kremlin millions of ammunition. The behaviour of Germany, the most populous and economically strongest country in the EU, is highly crucial in this situation. Unfortunately, it is not optimistic. The dynamics of Zeintenwende, or pro-western and anti-Russian phrase, has slowed down strongly. Diplomatic signals are unconcerned. In mid-February, for example, it was reported that Olaf Scholz had personally blocked the candidacy of his compatriot, Ursula von der Leyen, to be the head of NATO. Well-informed German sources claim that the decisive argument was... her anti-Russian attitude, which, according to the Chancellor, “may sometimes prove to be a flaw”. This means that after Alexander Navalny's death, erstwhile it became clear that only a miracle could deprive Putin of power, Scholz inactive believes that the head of NATO should be individual who has the flexibility to return to talks with Moscow. It is worth noting that nothing in Ursula von der Leyen's career indicates that it would be a rosy person. Von der Leyen co-founded the old German east Policy side by side with Angela Merkel and Olaf Scholz in the governments of the alleged large CDU-SPD coalition. However, the sharpening of rhetoric occurred only after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, due to any cognitive shock. If this is adequate to be considered an anti-Russian individual in Olaf Scholz's eyes, the question arises what precisely the long-term imagination of east politics Olaf Scholz has. Is this not a imagination referring to the popular German politicians and publicists of the free trade region from Lisbon to Vladivostok. However, this is inactive a song of the future, so far the relation between Moscow and Berlin is strained."
