'It's nonsense': German diplomat blows off Trump's Ukraine war plans
February 14, 2025
Following an abrasive speech delivered by Vice President J.D. Vance at the Munich Security Conference, the former defense minister for Germany called what the U.S. is proposing "nonsense" and complained the U.S. is only sowing more confusion.
Speaking with MSNBC host Ana Cabrera, Karl-Theodor Zu Guttenberg lashed out at the Trump administration for doing nothing to clear up how the Russian invasion of Ukraine should be resolved.
"We're all puzzled, Ana," he stated. "It's a messaging that changes almost on an hourly basis. In the last few days we have been surprised by the call that the president had with Vladimir Putin and then especially by the fact that his newly appointed secretary of defense is obviously taking negotiation tokens off the table."

"So and all of these things without without having the European allies and partners somehow included," he continued. "So there is confusion –– probably the mildest word I can find for that."
Asked about Trump's assertion that he doesn't see any way Ukraine could be admitted to NATO as he defended Russia, Guttenberg replied, "It's nonsense and we all know that that the war started out of very, very, different reasons. And the problem we are facing right now with that phone call Trump had with Vladimir Putin is that in our perception, it legitimizes aggression."
