German Intel: Breedlove is Bonkers!

- German Intel: Breedlove is Bonkers!

What happens when a close friend starts acting so bizarrely that you need to gently extract yourself from his ravings lest you be tarred with the same brush — or worse? That is the position in which Germany is increasingly finding itself, as the US government’s strange pronouncements about Ukraine are getting too much to bear.

It is getting worse every day.’To the Germans — senior partners in NATO — Breedlove was making it up. The German foreign intelligence agency, Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), simply “did not share the view” of the top NATO Commander, reported the magazine.
