Quote:
…Katja Hoyer, an Anglo-German historian and journalist, said “rifts in the alliance were there for all to see”.
Writing for the Washington Post, she said: “Seen in that light, Biden’s in his news conference that a ‘minor incursion’ into Ukraine by the Russians would meet with a different response from NATO compared with a full-on invasion suggests that Washington and Berlin have been discussing how to handle minimal German support for economic sanctions.
“Rifts in the alliance were there for all to see.”
She said Germany had become “a weak link in NATO’s line of defence”.
