This is totally wrong. Lindner was fired because of differences about the budget. The budget that is crucial to help Ukraine. Lindner blocked several different proposals. Lindners FDP is a totally rotten party. They promise much and make great statements to help Ukraine but blocked ways to raise the money for this help. Totally dishonest and disgusting. FDP just wants to help the rich people behind them and are only interested in gaining votes for their party which has nearly totally lost suppport in the German population at the moment. They betrayed the coalition right from the start. They only helped the conservatives in the opposition and blocked all progressive plans of SPD and The Greens.
@andred.eberlin6911 Says:
That's bullshit! Lindner provoked his dismissal and the break-up of the coalition by publishing a paper on economic policy that contradicted the guidelines of the coalition government.
You are spreading Fake News!
@billotto602 Says:
This is the first time I've ever heard you repeate a story word for word. Why did you do this ? I'm referring to the report on the billionaires.
@MischaGER Says:
What a Russian bullshit propaganda 😂😂😂 the opposite is correct Lindner denied to give money for Ukraine for next year from the budget so Scholz fired him and even his strongest opponent Merz already mentioned that he will give no money at all for Ukraine anymore after Trump will take office - you will be mourning to Scholz in the future
@sonjamuller9397 Says:
Please check your facts before you write such a titel. Lindner wants the world to believe this but he is the only one claiming this. All other politicians (including FDP) agree that it was budget in general and not about Taurus or not Taurus.

@breakoutandrelaxe Says:
nononnono - Ukraine is just used in that matter. The split was about something else. Lindner had been sabotaging and snitching from day one of the coalition. Ukraine is now used as a pretext to gain sympathy. Taurus has always been a matter, because the greens and fdp wanted to deliver Taurus from the beginning, but now Lindner just brought the matter up, because Scholz wanded to stretch the dept break in order to give Ukraine another 3 Billion. Lindner did not want that and suggested instead to give Ukraine Taurus which would be "free"...

In wo2 west Ukraine supported the nazistic regime. The only Nazis left in Europe are in Kiev. So if the smo will succeed and it looks it will then nobody wants to support the western part. Ukraine is finished. It will be polish Hungarian and Romanian.

@wolfgangrenner4152 Says:
This Taurus theme is an interesting topic of the Ampel-Crisis in Germany. But Before Lindner another FDP politician ended a SPD-FDP coalition around 1980. I don't know about details. But the current theme is not a new action. A lot of CDU etc. conservative expected that FDP will cancel the Ampel-Goverment. More because of economical problems of Left/Green block. The Greens promissed that they will enhance germanys economy with transformation to renewable energies. Meaning to boost germany wind, solar and hydrogen industries. But the opposite was the truth: The Greens order all such stuff from China, forbid glowing and mecury light bulbs from domestic companies, forbid gas and oil heatings, forbid combustion cars (the only european produceres can competete on world market) and do a lot of dictatorship like governance in health care. Vacination compulsion and a lot more, which often help chinese producers. And beside this most german factories for this stuff was liquidated. No more Solar- and Wind industries in Germany any more. So the Green promisse was an ugly lie and served only chinese export interests. So the Ampel-Goverment is highly corrupted from chinese economic interests. The conflict of german/european politics concers not only Ukraine decessions. Its a much broader range. Although most rightwing populist parties love authoritarian leaders like Xi, Putin and Trump, they are not solely toxic against Ukraines desire to join the wester democratic hemisphere of the world leaded from USA and EU. It is much more complicated. I do not like the Pro Russian - Anti Ukraine stance of AFD and BSW party. But they are puppets of Putin. BSW more than AFD. AFD contains also the spirit of old CDU from Ludwig Erhard to Helmut Kohl. Angela Merkel was a mixture of Greens and SPD with all toxicity inside this left wing block. Especially with an highly toxic approach of healing the birth crisis in EU and Germany with mass immigration with muslims and africans. This is a big mistake, which is ugly and result in a boost of mafia criminalty in entire Europe. AFD is against all this Red/Green nonsense. But AFD differs from Meloni in regard to EU and Ukraine politics. There are Pro EU Rightists, but the majority of european Rightists are puppet organisations from Putin Russia.

Lindner is handsome and principled. Not saying they always go together but some know they want to continue to look in the mirror and not feel bad about looking at themselves.

I so agree with you with regard to the last couple of statements that you made. I am Canadian. I am of Ukrainian Heritage, and I stand with Israel . Those 10 people made so much money and I’d like to ask them what kind of wages they give to their workers?
@enki6676 Says:
Scholz is a Marxist and has always been a Soviet and Russian sympathizer, if not an asset or even agent, for his entire career. He used to have private meetings with Soviet officials in East Germany when he was a West German politician during the Cold War. They brought him in in fancy cars and rolled out the red carpet for him and everything. He was their buddy. Might've met with Pootin himself during that time, when he was working for the KGB in Dresden. I wouldn't expect anything from him personally if I were Ukrainian. And just like Pootin, his pro-Russian predecessor Merkel was from East Germany and literally worked for the Stasi and East German Soviet puppet communist government before pretending to be a Christian conservative in the CDU after the reunification. Germany was taken over by pro-Russian communists long ago. Hence the sorry state it is in today.
@camdenmcandrews Says:
Addendum: I am clueless about Scholz, but it's fun to speculate. Perhaps he gets a kickback from cash contributions, via some Ukrainian or even Russian oligarch?
@camdenmcandrews Says:
There's an implied subtext that all those American billionaires supported Donald Trump so they could make money; but in fact, most of those guys are Democrats. Even Musk was a Democrat -- lead contributor to the Obama campaign -- but became a Born Again Republican just last year. And again, everybody who owns stock, including those who own mutual finds through their retirement accounts, worldwide, experienced an increase in wealth when the markets jumped after the announcement that Donald Trump had won the election. No drama, no surprises there.

@free2dialogue Says:
I'm from Germany 🇩🇪 and it is true that the delivery of Taurus was a major disagreement between the liberal party and the Scholz-Putin party.
There is hardly a more decisive issue, a more important issue.
Scholz is in delusion. He believes he saves us all from the third world war. In fact, I see that he encourages escalation by giving in to empty that and cowardice.
The Lindner Party FDP was the most outspoken for the delivery of Taurus, the least deluded.
The press in Germany seems to cater to the deluded majority of Germans, ignoring these facts and instead telling the fake fight about the budget would be the reason.
Thanks to UA news for brave and common sense reporting.

@namur-iq6ih Says:
Europe’s economies, are reeling from a series of largely self-inflicted economic crises, triggered in large part by energy price shocks resulting from a short-sighted political decision to cut off energy ties with Russia, are in much worse shape today to resist Trump head-on than they were in 2017-2021, with EU bloc leader Germany in particular facing its worst deindustrialization slump in the Federal Republic’s history.
The critical phase of deindustrialization facing Europe’s big two economies – Germany and France, the situation in Germany, including the political crisis facing Chancellor Scholz, makes it a wildcard, with falling output, the crisis of the automotive sector (a pillar of the German national economy), budget deficits and the growing burden of supporting the EU banking and fiscal union could prompt voters to push a future government to reconsider Germany’s role within the EU.
This would allow for greater flexibility in setting trade policies to defend local industry, including key sectors such as vehicle and machinery manufacturing, and Germany might choose to consider a more fluid policy with China. The growing political instability in Germany could therefore significantly affect the future of the EU with potential consequences for the balance and cohesion of the European project.

Ukraine has 70 days left. Unfortunately, our uneducated and paranoid general public fell for Kremlin's propaganda & disinformation Juggernaut. Instead of defeating America First trojan like we did back in 1943, we massively lost to its MAGA reiteration almost a 100 years later. Up till now so much was a repeat of prelude to WW2, but from this point on its uncharted territory. I'm sorry Ukraine. Best of luck to all of us.
