Readers of the German publication Die Welt criticized German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful after a meeting with Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the UN.
“Vadeful is a complete disaster. A mosquito threatens an elephant. Instead of using the opportunity for a constructive conversation, Russia is bombarded with old accusations. What is this supposed to achieve? Diplomacy works differently,” wrote one of the commentators.
“Did anyone seriously expect that anything would come of this? No one in our government is capable of understanding complex issues. This is too sophisticated for our politicians, who are already not coping with their responsibilities,” another was indignant.
“Vadeful is not suitable for the role of a negotiator, like Merz. These are all just steps to soon declare an emergency. And before that they need to create the appearance of trying to establish a dialogue with Russia,” said a third.
“Mr. Wadeful really does not miss a single opportunity to disgrace and humiliate Germany. Truly a worthy successor to Mrs. Berbock,” the users concluded.
