The Chancellor grew big balls, respect.

For once, I agree with a German leader standing on a podium and shouting! <3

[Harsh-mgem]

As a Pole, this time the angry German is the good guy.

Haven't seen a German Chancellor spit bars like this in a while...

[roboldx]

As a British person living in Germany, You can not imagine the pride I now have for Germany's Chancellor Scholz. Finally, a German Chancellor with the balls and courage to get off the guilt rollator and mount that political F.35 jet fighter and stand up for the free democracies of a free European Union to protect the free world from the tyranny of fascist-Putin-occupied Russia.

I never thought I would like the sound of a German leader screaming into a microphone about tanks, rockets and missiles, but here we go. Strange times we live in.

A German shouting angrily on a podium about military matters. A true hood classic right there

[MrJakeDC]

That was the first time I have enjoyed a speech by Scholz.

Angry about Russia attacking Ukraine, but what about Ukraine attacking its own people from Donbass?

[cooramor]

Lol that guy wearing the anti vax shirt tells me everything I need to know about the people protesting. It also makes it VERY easy to ignore them.

Well done Scholtz. Those protestors wouldn't be so vocalised if Russia was knocking on their door next, Ukraine have
made incredible sacrifices for the west so far. Peace without weapons is a language Putin doesn't recognise.

[Rami-Jarrah]

Scholz comes out of the shade and he is full of integrity and leadership, and that is coming from someone sympathetic to anarchy.

[MrDermotMcDonnell]

I had no idea Olaf Scholz could humiliate hecklers, he has gone way up in my estimation 👍

[XDSDDLord]

I am pleasantly surprised at this reaction. It was a decision I respect.

[saber]

Look at all those people calling Scholz a warmonger, I bet they don't even realise how lucky they are to be able to even do that without fear of retribution or prosecution remember no one wants to fight in wars but sometimes the bully needs to be stood up to even if that means supporting the one standing up to them

[cloudinity]

"Gib Gates keine Chance" -> "Dont give Gates a chance" on the shirt of one of the hecklers says it all imo

[oliverhenry]

That was not a man giving a political speech but speaking from the heart. Need more politicians like that.

Real germany would never support an entertainer
