We're sorry to the leaders of the world, who instead of being met by level-headed, measured, intelligent dialogue, are now greeted with the incoherent rantings of a perpetually-furious man-child.

To be clear, the Vance/Musk intervention did not change the outcome. Still, the fact that it happened changes German and European politics forever

The word you seek, Mr. Musk, is „Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung“— it is a process that continues. Which your ilk and the AFD wish to avoid. Avoidance is easy; deep change is hard.
