German Defense Secretary Is a Globalist Liar

German Secretary of Defense Boris Pistorius is clearly a Communist, given the way he is framing JD Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference on Friday.

TRANSCRIPT

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius: This is why I cannot just ignore what we heard before, I cannot not comment on the speech we heard by the US Vice President.

We fight for your right to be against us. That is the motto, one of the mottos of the Bundeswehr, and it stands for our democracy.

This democracy, that was just called into question by the US Vice President – and not just the German democracy, but Europe, as a whole.

He spoke of the annulment of democracy, and if I understood him correctly, he compares the condition of Europe with the condition that prevails in some authoritarian regimes.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is not acceptable. This is not acceptable.

This is not the Europe, not the democracy where I live and where I conduct my election campaign right now, and this is not the democracy that I witness every day in our parliament.

In our democracy, every opinion has a voice, and it makes it possible for parties that are partly-extremists, such as the AfD, and they can campaign, just as any other party.

This is democracy, and if the Vice President had the opportunity to switch on his TV set when he arrived last, yesterday, he would have seen one of those candidates in primetime TV.

By the way, we even admit media that spread Russian propaganda, and the representatives of the federal government answer their questions. Nobody is excluded. But democracy does not mean that a vociferous minority will automatically be right, and they cannot decide what truth is.

It does not mean that anyone can say anything, and democracy must be able to defend itself against extremists that try to destroy it.

I am happy to live in Europe, where this democracy is defended every day against its internal and external enemies. And therefore, I would like to explicitly contradict and oppose the impression that Vice President Banz suggested, here that our democracies oppress and silence minorities.

We not only know against whom we defend our countries, but also, what we defend it for. It’s for democracy, for freedom of opinion, for the Rule of Law, and the dignity of each and every one, Ladies and Gentlemen.

But unlike the Vice President, I would also like to focus my speech on the most pressing questions of European and transatlantic security.

The last days have confirmed what many had speculated for months: The United States are pushing for a quick peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine, and they expect Europe to take the lead in securing any agreement that follows.
