You have to admire the ignorance of the poor young (and very probable) Liberal) Mr. Richardson. I don’t think I am mistaken when I say Germany is the second most important diplomatic post in Europe (London being first) and for many years when we still had two Germanies, the embassy was in Bonn and it was the diplomatic trenches of the Cold War.
This is the Embassy in Berlin, located one door down from the Brandergurg Gate. I might be old-fashioned and with lack of sophistication, but somehow it does not look like a ballroom to celebrate weddings, Quinceañeras and Bar Mitzvas .
So, if you suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, you can be both dismissive of an important diplomatic post and denigrate Gay People that did not come out of the proper Left Wing Closet.
Pretty much any “ism” is ok if you’re liberal. I could list examples but there are so many it’s hard to know where to begin.
It’s Not Homophobia When They Do It!
But seriously, when it comes to the EU, it’s basically Germany’s show.
Not quite. It’s France’s show, with Germany paying for it.
I’ve long felt that France sees the EU as the continuation of Napoleon’s effort to rule all of Europe. Remember that Napoleon is still revered as a “great man”, even more so than Stalin is in Russia.
