German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has admitted what should at least now be obvious to every politician, especially every German politician: Russia cannot be defeated, because it has nuclear weapons. “It was clear from the beginning that this war would most likely end through a negotiated settlement,” Germany’s top diplomat told Süddeutsche Zeitung in a lengthy interview, RT reported on May 31.
“One thing is true: a complete defeat in the sense of a capitulation by nuclear-armed Russia could not have been expected,” the minister stated, adding that “we have now become a little more honest” in this regard. He still maintained that Kiev’s troops have been “successfully defending” against Moscow’s forces, although the Ukrainian military has been losing ground along the entire front over the past several months.
