Her ex-husband is already there:

The article exists only in German but you may want to run it through a translator because it's definitely worth a read. It's one of the craziest Wiki entries IMO.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the wacky adventures of Russland Ralle. What a lunatic.
Send her to go live in Kyiv.
They already have enough bullshit to deal with.
Na, send her. She might catch a missile with her face and save a children's hospital that way.
hey, what's wrong with living in Kyiv?
Well she's pro Russian so sending her there would make her rather uncomfortable. I assume that's what's implied.
oh I see. yes
Imagine being pro Russia after what Russians did in east Germany 🤡
Thing is, some people either didn't mind or loved during the communist era. She said so herself that she remember fondly growing up during that time.
some people did not mind or loved their lives during the third reich too...
Actually, you aren't wrong. I am not defending authoritarianism, but it is important to know why some prefer it. There is an old documentary that interviewed a German lady who lived through Nazism. She admit it was wrong to support the Nazis, but Hitler jump-started the economy after the Great Depression due to massive government spending caused by remilitarization. If a bread of loaf cost million deutchmark, making the value of money became so worthless that its only purpose is to burn the wads of cash to heat yourself, wouldn't you become desperate?
Picking between authoritarianism versus democracy is actually a question between liberty and perceived stability.
Contrary to popular Western belief, however, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing for all places and people. Not all dictatorships end in misery, and not everyone wants to live in a democracy. “A bad democracy might be worse than a humane dictatorship,” Pinker points out.
There is no proof that the desire for freedom and democracy is an innate part of human nature, Ezrow says. As long as quality of life remains high and people are allowed to live their lives as they wish, citizens can be completely happy under a dictatorship. Some even become nostalgic for the authoritarian regime after they lose it. “When I was younger, as a student in graduate school, I just assumed that everyone wanted to be living in a democracy,” Ezrow says. “But if you look at survey research in some countries under authoritarian regimes, people are happy.”
In other words, ending all dictatorships might not be ideal for everyone. As long as leaders avoid the inherent pitfalls of that mode of governance and take their citizens’ wishes into account, dictatorships are simply a different approach for leading a country, one that values order over individual liberties. As Ezrow puts it: “Some cultures may just prefer security and stability over freedom.”

I call their existence absurd.
Every accusation an admission, so basically you can take this as an indirect admission from Russians that they're running low on resources.
Because she's just a mouthpiece.
Absolutely. Sometimes, by accident, the propaganda is pretty telling about what the situation is for the person creating the propaganda.
Some of it says that green energy in Europe is ruining the power grid, they have brownouts, the machinery in the factories is breaking because of the low quality of the electrical supply. That's absurd... unless you come from a country where that's happening.
Some of it says that there aren't enough factories in all the EU, US, any of their manufacturing base the world over, to continue to produce ammunition, that NATO is running out and the warehouses are empty. That's absurd. Not because we're giving Ukraine everything it needs, or because we're always tooled up to make munitions at the pace that a modern land war chews through it. But because the issue just isn't empty warehouses and factories that can't keep up. It's more subtle and first-world-problem than that. America probably bought more dildos this year, by weight, than Ukraine needed for artillery shells. But if you're in a country where a pure lack of industrial capacity is a crucial limiting factor...
Every accusation is a confession. More so, in this case, than in a lot of cases.
Always the same type of "leftist" that aligns themselves with modern Russia. Though I don't really know if she even attempts to identify herself as a leftist anymore since she was kicked out of The Left party in Germany.
Anti "immigration", one of the richest representatives in the government, has neonazi attend her rallies.......
I gotta hand it to Putin, he is clever in propping up fringe, populist lunatics from either political spectrum to destabilise the West. He pays lip service to the far left by invoking anti-Western imperialism. Then on the far-right and ultraconservatives, he purports to be supportive of traditional values. It makes it hard for traditional mainstream politics to sway on either side without being pro-Russia. That being said, I appreciate a counterforce from the German left to pit against AfD, but it is very hard for me to support BsW for being such a Putin lick ass.
