War, hunger and corona are the worst attacks of fever in our dangerous present. On her show “Woche,” talk show host Sandra Meischberger invites higher-end perspectives to a barrage of mist on the information front.
Guests
Jim Ozdemir (56, green). The Minister of Agriculture is one of the three most popular politicians. His concern: “Putin is using the grain shortage as a weapon!”
Anthony Fauci (81). “Classic herd immunity is no longer possible, nor is it necessary,” said the immunologist and US presidential adviser. He’s calling from Washington.
Frank Ulrich Montgomery (69). The President of the World Medical Association has long warned: “The number of deaths will rise again!”
Hannah Betheky (41). The journalist (“Neue Zürcher Zeitung”) blasphemes that the word printed in the press has a different weight than the word spoken on a talk show. ooh!
Sasha Lobo (46). The columnist (“Spiegel”) responded with an “open letter” from Alice Schwarzer and Friends to the Chancellor with an “open counter letter”.
Theo Col (64). Studio head ZDF Capital locates Putin “between Napoleon and a gas wholesaler”.
Three makers and three opinion makers. Who gets the most points? Zoff-O-Meter Account.
The most surprising protection aid
“Politically, I’m more green and red with liberal touches,” I beat Spiegel-Lobo at first, “so I didn’t miss the chance to pick Mr. Merz.”
But now he is praising the opposition leader’s trip to Ukraine as an “important symbol”. And: “It’s always self-expression and an election campaign at the same time.” His general verdict: “That was a real move.”
Zoff-O-Meter starts working
When it comes to Steinmeier, too, the Spiegel man holds the red Iroquois comb stud upright. Colleague Bethke sees Kyiv’s difficult decision to slow down the federal president’s PR campaign as “endless” and “a great insult”. On the other hand, Lobo prefers to intervene in the case of the Ukrainian ambassador, who has been the subject of fierce hostility ever since.
The columnist says that the fact that Andrei Melnik is behaving “too bluntly” has something to do “with the fact that people in Germany have made themselves very comfortable for a long time and have been frankly courting Russia. And Mr. Steinmeier was there too.” “Boom!
Most Definitive Rating
About the embarrassing background of the scandal, says the Spiegel man: “I can understand that you are not entirely excited when someone wants to cling to the Polish president, and that he is not welcome with open arms!”
Lupus’ second accusation: “Honestly, I think it was a very weak reaction from Olaf Schultz! It was called ‘liver insulting.’ He could barely hide smiles all over.
ugliest criticism
“I cannot understand this insult,” storms from under the Iroquois. “I find it absolutely unsupervised. As a chancellor, you really have to stand up to her, or else there will be some funny chatter we Germans, where she will say: For God’s sake, our holy Federal President!”
Lobo’s urgent recommendation: “I believe that in such an unbelievable situation as Ukraine has to endure, such patriotic sensibilities can simply be swallowed up in style.” There is initial applause for that.

strongest accusation
ZDF-Koll also rated Melnyk’s irresistible desire to be annoying positively: “as a strategy that creates maximum pressure to help.”
That still isn’t enough for the Spiegel columnist: “By relying on Russian energy, Germany helped put Russia in a position to launch such an aggressive war in the first place,” he says.
clearer edge
Lobo asked clear: “I take the fact that the concerns of Eastern Europeans have been ignored for years, also by Mr. Steinmeier, unfortunately, as a liability which in fact means that we must now help Ukraine.” And a little further than it is now.”
With ‘this ambassador, who is said to be very controversial’, one has to add: ‘Olav Schultz has always reacted very hesitantly. I think that without the debate initiated by Mr. Melnyk, which he raised to a completely different volume of voice, decisions would not have been made on the this way.” Editorial!
Most emotional memories
Özdemir was introduced by the talk show host as “The Minister of Agriculture has the spirit of foreign policy.” The ARD clip wants to prove it with a quote: “You can’t stop genocide with a yoga mat in your hand,” the Green Party tweeted in 2019 about ISIS terrorism against the Kurds in Syria.
The minister makes it clear that he was first exposed to the Bosnian genocide in the early 1990s. I was in Sarajevo. They (the Serbs) sat upstairs, drank alcohol, and when the civilians (mostly Muslims) came to the city, they shot them.”
The most painful realization
“unarmed!” Ozdemir is still angry after many years and raises his hands accusingly: “And we, as Europeans, said that you have to negotiate!”
“Negotiations between a heavily armed army and a largely unarmed people!” Greens shouted. “Since then, it has dawned on me that there are certain exceptional situations where you take sides when you say: strong and weak, killer and victim have to make it clear among themselves.”
The most reasonable explanation
According to the minister, even in the first peace demonstrations that he participated in at the age of fifteen in the eighties, he remarked: “You cannot be against the missiles of the West, but you can be silent about the missiles of the East.”
Ozdemir alternatives to Ukraine: “First: you interfere yourself. Then you become a war party. Second, you help Ukraine defend itself. If you say no to both, you say yes to killing, in which case it is almost genocide!”
Clarify verbal criticism
In the direction of those who understand Putin, Ozdemir says mildly: “I do not want to scold those who say: We have revised our position there.” But the minister said with a nice sarcasm: “It would be useful if they did not.” I wouldn’t say “we”. I think the German word means: ‘I’, so I was wrong.
Maischberger wants to know if this is directed at the federal president. The minister does not want to say it directly, but the general rule is: “The word ‘we’ has replaced the word ‘I’.” Suits!
