Loading ...German President Left Waiting In Hot Sun, Ignored On Arrival In Qatar
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier was snubbed at the airport after landing in Doha for an official state visit to Qatar…
While it’s possible there was a legitimate mix-up based on Steinmeier’s plane having arrived slightly early, the scene was highly unusual for a head of state.
Russian President Vladimir Putin this week mocked Germany, saying it is getting pushed around by outside powers and increasingly lacks sovereignty. Putin said Wednesday according to an English translation in state media, “The Germans swallow all this because… they lack sovereignty. And some government leaders apparently lack sufficient professional skills to make adequate and professional decisions. Everyone knows who that is, they are being laughed at by the whole world.”
