Default German Barracks Barbie von der Leyen to lead EU commission




https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48847200

The German defence ministress Ursula von der Leyen, highly disliked in and mistrusted by the Bundeswehr and beign entangled in a series of scandals that in the end read "corruption" and "nepotism", the weakest in Merkel's current collection of minister muppets, gets disposed to the highest post in the EU - that already is a message in itself. She ha snbot achieved anything remarkable in any of her previous minsiter offices as well. In other words, she is a dud, and a walking permanent wave advert.

If this gets through the Eu parliamnet, which is not certain because it is again the return of the backroom deals done behind locked doors, this illustrate sin what a lousy state the EU really is.

And Lagarde, the French from Macronland and strongly supporting Macronman's state interventionism and centrlaist idea of how to run a state and poltics in the EU, should become boss of the ECB. This is not just hilarious anymore, this is simply fearsome.

Macron wins this round: he gets a French loyalist on one of the two top seats, and prevents the Germans getting a strong name on an yof the two who could challenge French ambitiuons for centralising the EU even more, and milking namely Germany but also the other net payers even more. For the greatness of France that lacks the econiomic power and wealth to finance its fame-craving by itself.

Farange already started his flanking entertainment program in the eU parliament today, I saw on TV.

The EU degenerates more and more into a hilarious, weak though dangerous, freak show. In other countries one take snote of this. But Germans once again sleep deep and happy.

Lets see what the EU parliament, this curio collection, does about all this.

Great Europeans of the past, great names in European culture of the past centuries - the rumble you maybe hear is their skeletons spinning in their graves.

Von der Leyen as head of the EU commission - much bigger a joke than I expected anything!

I also wonder who volunteers for the ejection seat in the defence ministry now.

Why is everybody afraid of the so-called "populists" in parliaments...? The state government chiefs and the bitter rivalries and personal fights in the parliament cause much, much more damage.

Sunday's and today's rounds score good for - China, Russia and the US. They must not do anythign to weaken their rival in Europe. He does that all by himself. Good for Europeans as well: it has become obvious for many more people that nobody needs this lunatics asylum. the past EU elecitosn for the first time since I think 20 years or more saw a stop of the notoriously declining voter participation - and the heads of government already managed to ruin and waste that drive again and desillusionising people again. Next time, the "populist threat" will not do the trick again.

P.S. Should the EU parliament wave through von der Leyen, the German troop and the Bundeswehr leadership will open champagne bottles in celebration - that they finally got rid of her. Probably only zu Guttenberg was as bad - if not even worse so - as she was in that office.
