She will be a very, very important Defense Minister in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Said Olaf Scholz (SPD) about Christine Lambrecht (SPD) before her inauguration.

Very, very important – even then it sounded like trying to conjure up something.

But Christine Lambrecht makes it difficult for the gods who bestow favors.

After her inauguration, she went on vacation.

A little later, she defended tooth and nail that she had taken her son in the service helicopter to visit the troops near their vacation spot.

This was followed by an offer to Ukraine to support the defense against Russia with five thousand protective helmets.

According to Lambrecht at the time, "lethal weapons" were not to be supplied in order not to "further heat up" the conflict.

Assist as leave from battle?

As a result, ammunition was ordered too late, because weapons are least lethal without them.

In the Bundestag, Lambrecht stated that “the cheetah is not a tank” because it “then shoots into the air with this tube” in order to capture distant objects, which a tank cannot do.

This is of course how the term “anti-aircraft gun” could be explained at the turn of the century.

The fact that in some branches of the armed forces half of them cannot fire a barrel in the air, or only for three days, has not yet persuaded Lambrecht to submit a damage report.

Instead, on New Year's Eve, she summarized what came to her mind about the war on Instagram: "A war is raging in the middle of Europe.

This was linked to a lot of special impressions that I was able to gain, many, many encounters with interesting and great people.

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you for that.”

Satire by Gerhard Polt

As a result of the war, the very, very important minister had many, many encounters and many impressions.

She tells the people and among them the Ukrainians who have fled, while in the background of the recording ("Berlin is preparing for the turn of the year") firecrackers explode and fireworks whistles.

Gerhard Polt couldn't have turned it off more grotesquely either.

Apparently, the minister has no one to tell her what kind of figure she is making – and that there are limits to shame even on New Year's Eve.

The fact that the government spokeswoman saw no reason to rate the video could be understood as a noble "speaks for itself".

The Ministry of Defense stressed that no government resources were used.

Even counting respect among those resources, that's true.

Because where there was no more symbolic capital, none could be used up.
