No wonder they slime Schröder (4.00 / 2)

Perhaps one should simply not listen to his advice.

You can't say that and be taken seriously.

Re: No wonder they slime Schröder (none / 1)

I thought this was a very good interview. But why should Schröder give two hoots what neo-cons think of him?

It is a good interview (none / 1)

But criticizing neocons ensures you'll be called a traitor, a communist, both or worse. And indeed this has happened with Schröder, who is regularly accused of having sold out to Gazprom, as he is a member of the board of the (German-Russian) Nordstream pipeline.
