Well at least her old Nickname of Flintenuschi (Rifle Uschi) can make a comeback than
I much prefer “Truppen-Ursel” (“Troops Ursel” I guess)
Good time to be McKinsey I guess …
What the fuck. Will it ever stop?
That is actually very diplomatic. It would convince the Russians and the Chinese that NATO is really not a threat. On the other hand, it would really not be a threat anymore.
NATO chief is an irrelevant position with zero power. Frankly when she was Dutch Minister of defense she had way more effect on NATO capabilities.
German Minister of Defense. Source: Me, I had to suffer the news about her.
…Dutch…alright…
So you can fail upward!
Considering that the EPP might get a full majority with the far right in the next European election I don’t think this is good news. For the ones complaining about von der Leyen just look to the rest of EPP, Manfred Webber for starts, everyone looks so much worse… better to keep Ursula.
The world is doomed when Ursula is the best choice, but you are not wrong.
Oh god, please no
Lol. At least this wouldn’t be a fail upwards.
And who should be head of EU council?
Oh God he should have looked how she was as defence minister in Germany before suggesting this 🙈
She sucked in every position. Defence, family or her undemocratic way to brussles.
As if competency is anything to consider with these figurehead positions. All that matters is how well-connected they are and how willing they are to whore their office out for the Military Industrial Complex.
Ensuring Europes continued reliance on US defense by undermining NATOs capabilities tobbecome a self reliant organization.
Here you heard it first!
