So Germany Just Accused Us of Piracy Beard-1585942999


As a citizen, I feel compelled to ask, in all civility, what in the name of holy bearded Christ is going on here? From the Financial Times:
The city of Berlin had ordered special FFP2 and FFP3 masks that are used to protect emergency staff and care workers from infection with coronavirus. The order was for 200,000 such masks, according to the German newspaper Tagesspiegel. Berlin's interior minister Andreas Geisel confirmed that the consignment had been “confiscated” in Bangkok and never reached Berlin.
“We consider that an act of modern piracy,” he said. “You don't treat your transatlantic partners like that.” The confiscation came to light after the White House tried to force 3M to export masks to the US from its hub in Singapore, as the federal government exerts its powers to secure critical medical supplies and gear needed to prevent the spread of coronavirus and treat infected patients.
Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of Adderall.
Apparently, the administration* has done to Germany what it earlier did to the Commonwealth (God save it!).
Expressing frustration over the seizures, Mr Geisel said that despite the crisis, the “methods of the Wild West” should not prevail, and called on the German government “to press the US to stick to international rules.”
All those wonderful paeans to the new global economy, and now we have nation-states stealing from each other, and knuckling each other, and stabbing each other in the back. If all men were angels, as Mr. Madison once put it...


lol! lol! lol! lol!
