Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) announced on Twitter: "We are ready to work with the USA on a joint Marshall Plan for democracy." An apparently serious offer to the country that sacrificed a few hundred thousand soldiers less than 100 years ago to bring freedom back to the world after the Germans had taken it from it, and that was then the size to rebuild Germany and Europe with the Marshall Plan.

From a foreign minister, this is not only a little diplomatic, it is embarrassing.

But if you think about it, the idea can become appealing.

However, it is the other way around than Maas thinks.

Maybe it is not we Americans who can support us, but they can support us.

For example, by sending special investigator Robert Mueller to us.

Mueller had once investigated Trump for "russian collusion", a fraudulent agreement with Russia.

In this country, Mueller could investigate the same thing in Maas' party, against Manuela Schwesig.

The Prime Minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has set up a foundation to build the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

The Russian state company Gazprom is funding the foundation with 20 million euros.

Money from an autocratic regime that poison and murder opponents and shoot civilians in Syria and Ukraine.

And Schwesig?

Try to show the citizens an X for a U.

She calls the Russian investment vehicle the “Foundation for Climate and Environmental Protection MV”, and in a video she proclaims: “Our aim is to advance environmental and climate protection projects.

Large projects by companies, large scientific projects, clubs and associations, but also many small initiatives. "

She is not able to name a single specific project.

Apart from the Baltic Sea pipeline, of course, because there in turn - you hear and be amazed - 20 million from the Kremlin can make a “small contribution to support the pipeline”.

The Prime Minister says everyone is invited to support the foundation with good ideas.

The first could be to return the money to the Kremlin and close the foundation.

Another might even come from a prosecutor.
