    The CDU is completely owned by Russian money. Schröder laid the foundations for North Stream when he was Chancellor and then immediately joined the board of Gazprom after retiring.

    Can’t even make up corruption that blatant.

      Schröder was SPD, not CDU. But that’s beside the point. You guys seem to think that the currently elected party completely controls the judicative system, but this is not the USA.

      Also this: If someone commits a crime (blowing up a pipeline) it should not matter to the law if the person who did it is one of the “good guys” (Ukraine) or if the stuff that runs through the pipe comes from the “bad guys” (Russia).

      Quite the opposite: if the nationality of the person or the origin of the goods damaged would actually influence how a court decides, that would be corruption.

      I’m not saying things like these don’t happen, but you’re grossly oversimplifying the matter

        Ah my bad! Thanks for correcting me.

        The impartiality of justice is important but only when it’s actually “just”. In this case the system is protecting an immorality (supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine). This means the system needs to be corrected, until then the courts will continue to work against good.
