The Duran: Episode 2541 Germany has failed to secure a rotating UN Security Council seat for the first time in memory, losing to Austria and Portugal in a vote presided over by Annalena Baerbock herself, the former foreign minister widely blamed for accelerating Germany's diplomatic collapse through deindustrialization, the Nordstream silence, and an ideologically driven foreign policy that has made Berlin one of the least popular capitals in the Global South. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran argue the defeat is entirely self-inflicted, a reflection of a country that chose vassalage over sovereignty, and that Germany's humiliation at the UN is inseparable from the broader implosion of the European Union's ambitions as a global power. If Germany, once the engine of European diplomacy and the continent's most respected voice, can no longer win a basic UN vote, what does that tell us about where Europe is really headed? 00:00:00 Germany Fails to Secure UN Security Council Seat 00:01:28 Germany's Rapid Decline on the World Stage 00:03:56 Germany's Long Campaign for a Permanent UN Seat 00:05:40 Vassals of the United States: Nordstream and Self-Inflicted Damage 00:06:42 Baerbock: The Face of Germany's Foreign Policy Failure 00:08:11 Germany Blames Russia Instead of Asking Hard Questions 00:08:49 Where Does the EU Go Without a Strong Germany 00:10:14 Germany's Humiliation Is the EU's Humiliation ***THE DURAN SHOP*** https://theduranshop.com ***REVERSE GEAR SHOP*** Athleisure with Style https://reversegear.shop/ ***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS*** https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial ***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS*** ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisReal ALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou ***CRYPTO SUPPORT*** BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSr ETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3 LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6Acj EMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R ***DONATE*** CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duran SUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran ***VIDEO*** RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduran ODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduran BITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/ ***AUDIO*** SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPD APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0a SOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9 ***FREE SPEECH*** TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20 GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuran MINDS: https://minds.com/theduran Amazing music contribution from Peter Brown.

I’m relieved we didn’t get the seat. Otherwise, they’d be bursting with undeserved pride and arrogance in Berlin.

It was a pleasure, a priceless pleasure, to have Annalena 360 reading that. Reading their own defeat.

Maybe the UN has seen first hand in Annalina how fanatical and inept Germany leadership has become.

The fanaticism of Merz & Co. has alarmed a few world leaders I reckon.

And having it announced by Annalena 360 Bärbock, one of the biggest contributors to this eventual humiliation of the German political establishment, is simply icing on the cake! 🤣🤣

Baerbock's facial expression while reading out the UN vote was priceless. German politics has only itself to blame; worthless politics and worthless politicians. And then to look so sour when you completely fail on the world stage. I really enjoyed it, it was great! 😁😂

The funniest thing is that the president of Botswana said in clar text: Because of Baerbock Germany lost.

Annelena Bearbock being the president of the UN Assembly is mindbobbling. Nowadays the best way of being successful is being sensationally incapable, intellectually disabled and morally corrupt. If you can bring all these qualities under a hat you are in line for the top jobs.
