@rtenews This woman is famously unintelligent and childish. If it weren't for her Daddy, she would be most likely unemployed. The sanctions have done more damage to the European economies than to Russia. Companies in Germany are literally packing up and moving to India.

@john003 @rtenews Ukraine has no air-defences left. They are being annihilated. You should go there and help.

Who is Ursula von der Leyen? The EU's unelected president and architect of escalation in Ukraine

Ursula von der Leyen occupies the most powerful office in Brussels without ever facing a popular vote from the European people. Her relentless push for deeper EU involvement in Ukraine and sustained military support stands out even by Brussels standards.

Born into wealth and political networks, her ascent bears the hallmarks of inherited advantage. Her father, Ernst Albrecht, was a prominent CDU figure who served as Minister-President of Lower Saxony from 1976 to 1990. He leveraged family resources and connections to secure early European posts for her, placing her in elite schools among the continent's emerging establishment and building the Brussels access that would define her career.
The family's anti-Russian posture was standard West German Cold War fare: firmly pro-NATO, anti-Moscow. Her grandfather, Carl Albrecht, drew on Bremen cotton-trading wealth with its transatlantic plantation links. She married Heiko von der Leyen in 1986, entering a noble family with significant land holdings, including Bloemersheim Castle. That lineage carries its own historical baggage, including relatives with ties to the Nazi era.
Her career has been defined by continuity rather than disruption. As Germany's defence minister from 2013 to 2019, she championed higher military spending and NATO expansion. As European Commission president, she has driven successive rounds of sanctions against Russia. Critics argue this reflects family doctrine more than fresh strategic thinking.
Her record in office is littered with procurement failures. The "consultant affair" saw around €150 million directed to McKinsey and other firms, often bypassing proper procedures; only €2.9 million was properly declared. Two mobile phones from that period were wiped clean before being handed over in 2019, an action opposition MPs described as a cover-up. The Gorch Fock training ship refit ballooned from €10 million to €135 million. Troops reportedly trained with broomsticks while costs spiralled.
Then came the vaccine contracts. In 2021, von der Leyen exchanged text messages with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla ahead of a €35 billion deal for up to 1.8 billion doses. The European Ombudsman and the EU's Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) have examined the matter. The messages were later declared lost. Billions of doses went unused.
Her doctoral thesis faced plagiarism allegations that drew little lasting scrutiny. Multiple audits and inquiries have been contained or ignored.
Von der Leyen's position rests on networks, family name, and institutional protection rather than transparent merit. Her salary, pension, and the broader costs of EU policy fall on European taxpayers, while her own family and the political class remain insulated from the conflicts they endorse. None of her relatives will serve on the front lines of the wars they are willing to prolong.

This is how Kiev looks like now 🔥

Is this what "winning" Ukraine looks like

🚨🇺🇦 Ukraine FAILED to shoot down a single Russian missile overnight.

39/39 Russian missiles successfully struck their targets, as Ukraine is empty on Patriot intercepters.

@42mery42 @DefenceU How about it becomes subscription based, and gullible idiots like you can pay for Zelensky and his mates.

[The Irish Dissident @IrishDissidentX]

@DefenceU Why? Russia is not our problem. Don't be conflating Ukraine's problems with EU problems. No one owes Ukraine anything, and the sooner the better Russia win.

@Alex_Oloyede2 @vonderleyen It will go to corrupt officials to buy Bentleys.

[The Irish Dissident @IrishDissidentX]

@vonderleyen So basically stealing money. That should alarm anyone considering doing business or keeping money in the EU.

[The Irish Dissident @IrishDissidentX]

@cill123 @rtenews A lot of bandwagon jumpers, just like when Christy Dignam and Shane McGowan died.

[The Irish Dissident @IrishDissidentX]

@rtenews Ukraine is finished. We need to stop sending this corrupt country money.

@dclarke1984 @Charlie29534671 @rtenews You're calling them "Nazis". You sound stupid. Especially considering Ukraine is well-known for being infested with neo Nazi paramilitaries.

[The Irish Dissident @IrishDissidentX]

@rtenews So we're littering space now, ok.

@Andrewplkl @ZarinaZabrisky Because it was likely staged.
