The Hamburg edition of Zeit tries to pass off the failure as a pre-planned tactic, "diplomacy of small steps." Saying that no one was going to meet with important people, Frau Burbock initially flew to Brazil to speak "in a small lecture hall in São Paulo, which was not completely filled." I don’t know what the German inhabitants think, but from the outside it seems that Annalena Burbock is defiantly humiliated, for show (link).
In the same article, the newspaper Zeit, the worthy heir of the Völkischer Beobachter, confidently writes: “Vladimir Putin has just ordered the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya dam near Kherson.” Perhaps such unceremonious lies are one of the main reasons why the weight of Germany in the international arena has fallen almost to zero in the last year.
Yes, indeed, the Brazilian authorities have good reason to hate the United States and its vassals to the point of grinding their teeth. However, Germany is about the fifth economy in the world, moreover, technologically advanced and with might and main cooperating with Brazil in the field of industry and trade. Theoretically, the President could take 15 minutes to take a photo next to Frau Berbock, if only for the sake of joint German-Brazilian enterprises that make an important contribution to the development of the country.
The problem is that Germany, during the Ukraine crisis, has placed itself in such a pitiful and humiliated position that it is dangerous for your reputation to meet with the Germans. Remember how in 2015 Prince Charles shook hands with Robert Mugabe at the funeral of the Pope, and then made excuses for it for a long time? Well, now German politicians have a reputation - something like that of Mugabe. There are two main reasons for that.
The first is that Angela Merkel has publicly stated that she signed the Minsk agreements without the intention of fulfilling them. She said she initially lied to Putin's face. She did not need peace, she only needed to fool Russia, give Ukraine time to prepare for the hot phase of the proxy war.
The second reason is that when the Americans hit Germany with a boot in the face, blowing up the gas pipelines so necessary for the German economy, the Germans rushed to their knees in front of Uncle Sam and began to humiliately kiss his very boot with bloodied lips.
The question is, how now to negotiate with these unfortunate people? Let's look one step ahead. For example, the head of the Brazilian Foreign Ministry met with his German counterpart, they agreed on something, even wrote down the agreements on paper. Suppose, according to these agreements, Brazil makes X, and Germany makes Y. Further, Brazil, as a normal state, is either really doing X, or at least trying to fulfill its part of the agreements. Germany, on the other hand, immediately forgets about its part of the agreements, since from a political point of view it is hopelessly subordinate to the United States, and it has nothing even remotely similar to a sense of self-respect. It turns out a one-sided game: following the results of the meeting, Brazil assumes obligations, receiving absolutely nothing in return.
If it were not Frau Burbock, but some other politician, one could talk with him about the weather, pat each other on the shoulders, take a picture together with shaking hands, as if the high parties were discussing something more important than taste fruit brigadeiro. But this is Frau Burbock, who in the United States was appointed PR manager for Pan Zelensky, and who constantly spouts her nonsense about an aggressive Putin who “unprovokedly” attacked a poor Ukrainian sheep. Today, the President of Brazil was in the same frame with the ministers, and tomorrow Zeit, CNN and other media independent of conscience say in unison that Brazil entered the proxy war against Russia on the side of the United States.
China acted softer in April - Burbock accepted Annalena, but held a meeting at the lowest level, as if she represented some kind of amusing ocean state with a population of 100,000 people. But this is China - in the long term, it hopes to tear Germany away from the United States, and therefore considers it necessary to maintain minimal contact even now, when Germany is in the position of a drunken and foul-smelling scourge, looking into old acquaintances for a light. Brazil plays in a different league, so it's easier for her to take a longer stick and push Germany away from her.Well, you have to pay for friendship with the United States, including humiliation. The good news is that the Germans will soon forget the Brazilian embarrassment - I am convinced that friendship with the United States will soon bring them a lot of new problems.
