German ambassador: Ukraine war "pulverized" Germany's assumptions on engaging Russia
German Ambassador to the US Emily Haber said that a strategy of interdependence when engaging Russia has now been "pulverized" by the invasion of Ukraine and resulting fallout.
"It is true that for many decades our strategy rested on the fundamental assumption ... that interdependence would produce stability, predictability, and to some extent of a time, even alignment. It was, if you will, our experience with regard to the GDR [the former East Germany] ...So this assumption, in effect, has been pulverized."
Haber also reiterated that the West needs to be united in its messaging against Russian President Vladimir Putin, because "we know, in effect, probably very little about the inner dynamics of his circle."
Haber also discussed Germany reducing dependence on Russian energy, saying that the country is working at "breakneck speed" and the result will be "irreversible."
Germany and Qatar on Friday agreed on an energy partnership that may see Doha start supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Berlin in 2024. Earlier this month, Germany started construction works for its first floating LNG terminal in Wilhelmshaven, a city and port located in Lower Saxony in northwestern Germany.

At least this time, we'll hopefully be on Germany's side.
We were on Russia's side when they quarreled in the 1940s, but Chancellor Scholz isn't Dolph, right?

the risk is that a world unified to punish Russia is very much like what happened when the world unified to punish Germany after WW1
we may be paving the road for the next Hitler
