Quotes

 * How are you (Germany) acting yourself when it comes to Lithuania, Russia, China? It's immoral and hypocritical. It's driving a division line between west and east in Europe. Germans forgot already that Americans were granting their security in the Cold War. But they should (remember). It's their moral duty.
