The head of the German navy resigned on Saturday after saying that Russia would never surrender Crimea to Ukraine and that President Vladimir Putin only wanted respect, in comments that caused a diplomatic row between Berlin and Kyiv.

BERLIN—

Vice Adm. Kay-Achim Schönbach said in a statement released by the navy that he had requested the defense minister relieve him with immediate effect of his duty after his “thoughtless comments about security and defense policy.”

That’s a problem with Putin . He does want respect. We are not handling him right

He is speaking what the German politicians are thinking. Only reason he got fired is for the optics. Putin owns Germany now and the CCP own everyone.

George Kennan.

That statement makes everyone wonder if he shares the same opinion with other top brasses among NATO. It seems difficult to be the only top general among NATO with these ideas.

Catherine the Great, the Russian Empress, is in the Russo-Turkish Wars (1768–1774 and 1787–1792), Russia annexed Newrussia (now southern Ukraine) and Crimea. The weakening of the Ottoman Empire also indirectly enabled it to annex Georgia. Borders are always set by war!
