Related: About this forum'Wildly inappropriate': Trump ally blasts German chancellor for Biden praise
(snip)
What message are Republicans supposed to take about the current Berlin government? Colby wrote.
On the sideline of the G7 summit in Italy on Saturday, Scholz praised Biden as one of the most experienced politicians in the world and a man who knows exactly what he is doing in an interview with Axel Springer media outlets. (POLITICO is owned by Axel Springer.)
He spoke highly of Bidens domestic and international policies, saying theyve promoted proper economic development, peace and security and togetherness and cohesion in the U.S.
The chancellor also told reporters that he thought Biden was likely to win in November and called speculation over the outcome of the American elections a bit strange.

Answer: That the German chancellor supports democracy over fascism.
It just doesn't take Albert fucking Einstein to figure that out.
My question is when did Colby decide to betray his former oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States?

Actually, it's worse- It's Elbridge, not Eldridge. My spell-correct forced it into Eldridge.

In contrast, TFG is praised by Putin, by Kim Jong Un, by Netanyahu, by Erdogan, by Orban.

So all the suck ups can match.

And what's more, TFG reciprocates and praises them back, even though he seems a little unclear about what countries they are from.

May you never work for the US government again.
Elbridge Colby who served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy and Force Development from 2017 to 2018 and is poised for a major national security role if Donald Trump is elected again posted on X: I think staying out of each others elections is better.

off telling a legitimately elected head of state what he may, or may not, comment upon about another legitimately elected head of state?
