🤐 Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, has some disturbing skeletons in her family wardrobe.

Her political roots in Nazi Germany account for the insane war-driven agenda of the European Union toward Russia under her stewardship and her total subservience to the U.S. imperialist objective to defeat Moscow.

👉 Author Evan Reif explains how her politician-father Ernst Albrecht packed his regional government with unreconstructed Nazis and former Wehrmacht officers when he was governor of Lower Saxony in the 1980s.

Ursula von der Leyen’s family derived much of its industrial wealth from working closely with Hitler’s Third Reich. Her aristocratic family was also married into slave-owning cotton planters in the American South.

That legacy of inherited wealth not only benefited Ursula’s elite education but also her precocious rise in German politics. She became the German defense minister from 2013-2019 despite having no formal background in the military. Under her watch, the German army was massively rearmed and she also became mired in corruption scandals…

🇪🇺 Ursula von der Leyen wants to have a second term as European Commission president and she has the political support from the European parliament’s most powerful pan-European conservative bloc to get it. But can Europe, indeed the world, put up with this German’s narrow view of Europe’s role in a new multipolar world order when, in so many respects, she is like a twin of Joe Biden – stuck in the 1980s with their views about America running everything and naturally hating Russia and blaming Putin for almost everything which she can get away with.

Her second term bid is not unprecedented as José Manuel Barroso went for two terms, plagued by some rumours that he did it to avoid a paedophile investigation in Portugal soiling his political legacy. And so the EU will not be breaking new ground here.

The EU usually goes for Commission president bosses which are obscure as they are incompetent 🤥
