Ukraine’s strongest allies meet in Berlin, bid Biden farewell | DW News

Joe Biden has made his likely last visit to Berlin as US president, meeting the leaders of Germany, Britain and France. He urged Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and President Emmanuel Macron to keep up support for Ukraine’s defense, but he said there was no consensus for giving Kyiv permission to use long-range western missiles to attack Russia. For the most part, the visit was about giving Biden a European send-off, before his departure from the White House in January.

  1. Pushing nations to kill each other. This is what doing all of self called leaders all over the world. Humanity is in the biggest danger ever. And this danger comes from politicians. Their main service is to push towards full scale world war, already started in Ukraine.

  2. This guy talking about the US and China being rivals decades from now after acknowledging a generational shift with Biden leaving…. WTF are you thinking…. you realize how quickly the world moves right? I get large military powers are slow on their war plans, but if the US and China are not on the same page, and both environment first, war and rivalry last, within ten years, we will be fighting over one little hurricane prone, nuclear wasteland, 130 degree desert.
    The world can barely handle the current proxy wars, if the worlds 2 biggest GDP went head to head, we would have nothing left so quickly at this point, we are already on the brink of runaway global warming

  3. Fraulein Rachel Tausenfreund is clueless and repeats the politicians line, instead of serving the German people the bitter truth of U.S. search for global hegemony. This, of course, is no different than the U.S. mass media like NYT and Washington Post. But sooner or later, truth shall prevail.

  4. crazy how germans elected this man who sacrificed his country by blindly following the US and in the process tanking its economies. he is either blind or dum by allowing the US blew up the nordstream and causing the energy to spike up as well as putting big companies to find somewhere else to setup shop.

  5. How long before Putin convinces North Korea to aid his wider plan to advance on other countries… Time to stop the political games and allow Ukraine to go long Range.

  6. Trump is coming next to collect….Germany to pay up charging Germany double the oil from US, Ukraine to pay up for all the assistance given, Poland to buy more american weapons, taxation coming…..South Korea to pay 10 billion to US as North Korea wanted to attack South Korea next

  7. Okay so they're saying that Russia hasn't accomplished anything and NATO has become stronger but he's gotten the whole world to cower down with the threat of nuclear weapons which he would never use because he would lose also. and yet he's got the whole world at Bay while he destroys the country and the people of Ukraine NATO has become a joke just like the UN hasn't done anything about Hezbollah in Lebanon NATO wants to give itself kudos then it needs to stop Russia and also needs to stop China they had the ability to but they become soft. You stopped those two I guarantee you I ran in North Korea and them will cower back down but the world leader in NATO has become stagnant and weak with this whole new generation of woke society

  8. Special ed Biden only went to Ukraine so much when his vice president because his son Hunter needed a free ride to get there for his business meetings with his partners that oh wait his father never knew about that even though he met them and his trips coinciding with his sons needing to be there wow how bizarre

  9. Biden is walking into the sunset with not much to show for. His Afghanistan debacle eaten away his credibility as a firm hand on bad situations. Then his long running project, the conversion of Ukrainian into a US satellite state in Europe, just like Israel in the Middle East, is failing.

    With him departing so suddenly, leaving Kamala Harris to defend Joe Biden's legacy, ans she is struggling to convince Americans that she is the right choice over Trump. It seems Trump might get another go to MAGA, a phony catch phrase just as phony as his "The Apprentices" and his many failed casino adventures. But these two are the BEST (?) Americans are blessed with !

    Undoubtedly, Trump would do a Joe Biden and pulls the rug under Zelensky's feet abruptly. If so, Europe is facing a sad prospect of holding the baby while the father buggered off. It would be embarrassing for Scholtz, Macro, Stammer, and Wonderlie, to pick up the phone to discuss peace with Putin. But do they have a choice when the main sponsor of the war is given up on it?

    I wonder if Wonderlie would still sing the "solidarity" song ?

  10. How can they say that their actions are to prevent WW3? The only language Russia understands is strength. To tie Ukraine hands behind their back is what will cause WW3 when It is seen that NATO is afraid of “red lines”.

  11. I think all the people in the show are liars! They seems forgot why Russia invaded Ukraine at first place. Putin is not crazy luniac, if the US didn't try to force Ukraine to join NATO in order to gain geopolitical advantage over Russia, you really think Russia will invade Ukraine??! To maintain the peace in Ukraine, it cannot be achieved by military's power but thru new security architecture. We don't need NATO and US, we need a security architecture including Russia and Ukraine, if Russia does feel like be threaten, it makes no sense to invade other countries. But this is not what US wants, US doesn't want a peaceful, strong EU (including Russia), a strong EU will challenge US dollar domination in the world, and a peaceful EU means US cannot sell trillions dollars of weapon to EU countries!!

  12. Before Biden -Nato with no enemies,During Biden -Nato got an enemy with biggest stock pile of nukes , Not sure it strengthen Nato or become a burden…
