12-9-2023 Germany's Baerbock Humiliated In Dressing Down By Ukraine Foreign Minister Things took a turn at the joint presser when a journalist asked about the difficulties of the counteroffensive along the southern front, and posed whether Kubela thinks Kiev's Western backers should supply weapons like the Taurus "quicker and faster".... Kubela then explained he had pressed the German delegation for Taurus deliveries as soon as possible, but that Baerbock left him no "hope" in these meetings. He then in a smug and patronizing tone looked toward her and said: "No, she didn't go beyond the official position of the German government... but you'll do it anyway, it's just a matter of time." "You will do it anyway, its just a matter of time, and I don't understand why we are wasting time," Kuleba said in response to a question at a press conference. Kubula then described that more and more Ukrainian lives have been lost due to Western delays in weapons approval and deliveries. The suggestion was that it's Berlin's fault (and that of other slow to play along allies). Online commentators were quick to point out how "embarrassing" and "pathetic" the moment was for the German side. Others pointed out the "arrogance" on display by Kubela, given also she made the lengthy, dangerous trip into Kiev to announce new humanitarian aid. Such "gifts" weren't enough. One regional commentator had this to say in response to the clip: "So here we have a US protectorate (Germany) being publicly mocked by a US proxy (Ukraine). One of the pitfalls of military alignment — the interests of the alliance as defined by the alliance leader is always supreme."
