Germany’s Green party foreign minister Annalena Baerbock was in America this past week pitching Ukraine military assistance to skeptical Republicans the necessity to keep up the flow of arms to repel the Russian invasion. Now approaching two years.
Ms. Baerbock also received the grand treatment from Administration officials, meeting with Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. Both the German and American administrations are on the same page when it comes to funding the Ukraine government in its struggle against the Russian invaders of their country.
The biggest stumbling block to military aid is coming from an increasingly isolationist Republican party which for political reasons continues to oppose military assistance. A stance which marches right in line with that of Donald Trump who has a strangle hold on the Republican party.
