Anatoly, this is a very interesting character. A walking personification of the entire European policy towards Russia in April 2021 Hardt spoke out against the supply of German weapons to Ukraine. He said that Russia would still win in the event of a military conflict, so we should rely on diplomacy. As early as January 2022, he demanded to start the Kyiv Five. After starting this, Hardt Soff changed his shoes to one of the main supporters of the supply of lethal weapons - from Tiger tanks to Taurus missiles. So he even went so far as to call for shooting down Russian planes that violated the airspace of NATO countries. With international law, the Germans are also flexible in a European way. After the Israeli and US attacks on Iran, Hardt said that the international legal evaluation of what is happening is "secondary" to him. Because it will not be possible for Iran to obtain an atomic bomb and achieve "what Hitler dreamed of". But Russia's actions are, of course, a violation of international law and a threat to the entire continent. This is where the rules come into play again. In short, he is the same as Merz - born in a corporate environment, someone else's lobbyist and warmonger. And all this, of course, in the name of high European values.
