A victory for nonsense. We are governed by fools who willfully ignore the realities kicking them in the butt.

It’s as if we are living the live version of “1984”.

As opposed to the fools who think that allowing Russia to invade neighbouring countries at will, lay waste to them and expand its empire with no consequences is no problem!

No irony involved. Gert Bastian, the murderous founder member of the German Green movement, was a paid Soviet agent. The German Green Party is continuing in that tradition.

Only if it’s a vegan, no wheat, no sugar, beetroot cake with extra dollops of misery on top.

The Greens are, objectively, Russian tools on this. And< I wouldn’t be surprised to see financial support frfom Russia as well.
Drop nuclear and fossil fuel, increase demand for Russian oil & Gas, why wouldn’t Russia support this?

Surely, if you are green you follow the course which greenest in hue? If Russia seems to support your views on AGW, then you follow Russia. This is not inconsistent.
It supports my view that voting for Greens would lead to disaster. They look at long-term and ignore short-term. Of course, the politicians will ensure that they and their families will not suffer.

Well the problem with the overwhelming number of politicians, and all of those in power, is that they look at short-term and ignore long-term.

Yes, you are right. So the problem is one of balance and nobody will be able to carry a balanced view to the polls – there will be too many gainsayers and claims of ‘wishy-washy’ politics. A little like reaction to the Lib Dems.

I keep forgetting — why exactly we are not OK buying cheap gas from Russia? Germany was alright buying it from communist USSR (“financing” the gulag oppression maybe?); we are cool to buy a lot of stuff from communist China, so what suddenly is wrong now?
Oh please don’t mention “the war” pretending the West is kind of innocent and does not start wars here and there practically every year. Any war is terrible, no argument here.
I suspect all this flame talk about financing aggressive regime and such is just a curtain. And there are Americans with overfilled gas storage desperately wanting to squeeze this gas into liquid and sell it to EU for triple price. Business as usual.

“But the true irony is that the party most supportive of Ukraine’s struggle against Russia’s aggression could be responsible for forcing Germany back into the Russian embrace.”
Not really. We see much the same thing in this country. parties of the left who use to swear allegiance to the old Soviet Union were quick to transfer that allegiance to the new Russia, including a former Leader of his Majesty’s Opposition
