So BR24 due to regio­nal pro­xi­mi­ty has ban­ked the con­tract to do the “reli­ve” stuff in this years Munich Secu­ri­ty Conference.

And they are a jour­na­listic enti­ty thats not so ver­sed in PR pam­pe­ring the usu­al panels of idi­ots, glad­hand­ers, and the well­con­nec­ted, so they actual­ly tried to frame the deba­tes by the main tal­king points made during them. And this is the result:

The point being, that yes “lea­ders” on average real­ly are that dumb. And yes, they only have their one spiel of “lets all give our best and fol­low me and we can do it!”, and yes - they almost never know anything about the sub­ject at hand they are tal­king about - but you arent usual­ly sup­po­sed to pre­sent that in the thumb­nail titles.. 😉

The­re are more of tho­se on BR24s cur­rent you­tube vide­os page, but they are more nuan­ced, the ones here are the fun­nier ones, becau­se they are just so drop dead stupid…

So what you usual­ly do is you clue in into the inspi­ra­tio­nal natu­re of it all and then you are sup­po­sed to text an aspi­ra­tio­nal thumb­nail tit­le, that makes them seem like tho­se peop­le make a dif­fe­rence, not quo­te their actu­al speech lines, which they reu­sed for the 20th time, becau­se as “lea­ders” they only ever memo­ri­zed that one speech… 😉

edit: Oh, and a bonus Selen­skyj speech:

Pre­dic­ting WW3, as usu­al. Wea­po­niz­a­ti­on of food. Wea­po­niz­ti­on of migra­ti­on. Cha­os in afri­ca. Cha­os in the ame­ri­cas. You know - the usu­al. Cata­stro­phic ever­ything. “The intel­li­gence com­mu­ni­ty is awa­re of it.”

Uh, look whos the mode­ra­tor for the Selen­skyj inter­view at the MSC 2024! Its Chris­tia­ne “Why arent you cal­ling it a war alrea­dy, Madame von der Ley­en?” Amanpour!

More mili­ta­ry deter­rence would have pre­ven­ted this

Passt dann ist ja end­lich der Mit­tel­teil der Star­wars Tri­lo­gy (“strugg­le of our hero”) vorbei.

Kon­text: Für die US gehts in der Ukrai­ne um 7% ihres jähr­li­chen Verteidigungsbudgets.

Kon­text:

And all thanks to the Vic­tor Pin­chuk Foun­da­ti­on. Whe­re his­to­ri­ans dreams come true.

Gegen Hil­la­ry zu het­zen ist ja nor­ma­ler­wei­se nichts was ich so im Reper­toire hab, aber hey hier gehts ja um Snyder…

Die Ukrai­ner stam­men von Ama­zo­nen ab Snyder.

This is not a magic trick

Insa­ni­ty

In sov­jet rus­sia, ruth­less actor want to take to the bak­e­ry. They want to get pie.

In Baer­bock Euro­pe, ruth­less actor want to rob the bak­e­ry. We have to grow more pie.

Ant­o­ny Blin­ken very hap­py. Gre­at analogy.

Baer­bock: “And this is also the core of the ger­man secu­ri­ty stra­te­gy we have draf­ted as the ger­man government”.

Rhein­me­tall plant Pro­duk­ti­on von Muni­ti­on direkt in der Ukraine

Da kann der Krieg ja end­lich weitergehen.
