Counter-productive talk....

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin thinks that the statement of German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer on dealing with Russia from a position of strength is a way to "show how tough she is."

It appears that some German 'leaders' have learned very little since Hitler's ill-fated 'tough guy' move to occupy the former Soviet Union during WW II.  At that time 27 million Soviet citizens lost their lives but still provided the knock-out punch to German imperial ambitions.
