At the first meeting, the Russians presented a set of harsh conditions, effectively demanding Ukraine’s capitulation. This was a nonstarter. But as Moscow’s position on the battlefield continued to deteriorate, its positions at the negotiating table became less demanding. So on March 3 and March 7, the parties held a second and third round of talks […]
Regarding territorial issues, parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Donbass would remain under Russian control
Moscow ostensibly wanted Kiev to slash the size of its army to 85,000 people, while Ukraine insisted on retaining a strength of 250,000.

They’ve mostly split due to her personal petty grievances with the party leadership, with her racism, transphobia and her other reactionary tendencies being a distant second. Foreign policy played a miniscule role in the split if it mattered at all. She is a lot more outspoken than the Left on Ukraine, Gaza etc., but it’s not as if the party voted for any arms exports or stuff like that before she left. These differences are largely aesthetic, not something that determines policy.
Yo she left with nearly half of the hole Linke , Sevim Dagdelen, De Massi , Lüders … Linke is Currently Occupied with kicking out its members for Gaza Solidarity. You Proclaim With extrem Conviction things that are clearly Untrue. That she Took all of the “Anti-Nato voices” and “Splintered the Party” can evidently not be reasoned with “Charakter” or “Persona of Sarah Wagenknecht”. Thats “Bild /Sueddeutsche” Level.
That’s rich coming from you, given that you claim she took half of the party with her when her little sect has only 7000 members and tried to hand-pick every new admission for months, or that you completely ignore the animosities that have persisted since she tried to build a parallel structure under her full control with the Aufstehen movement ages ago, since you misrepresent the tensions between zionist splinter groups and the majority of the party, make the ridiculous claim that she “took all anti-NATO voices” with her, or ignore that the Linke nearly doubled its votes since this tailist cult has left while BSW itself is in full decline.
I mean, that’s harmless compared to how you are downplaying the rampant transphobia in the party later on or how incredibly racist and cringe you act in the discussion with an immigrant comrade, but when i’m taking your bullshit apart, i may as well go all in since it’s really an absolute shitshow from start to finish you fucking potato.

Out of curiosity, what is your opinion on her views on these issues:
lmao, “trans people are a conspiracy by big hormone”.
Yeah that and the whole “won’t someone think of the cishet white germans” bit is
So theres Probably some Personal Issues in the Backround there, with her Persian Father leaving her as a Child , she never having the “Traditional Family”. I assume that these “Traditional Values Mimimimi” was part why she had to step back from Leadership.
The Last “Winner” Issue of the BSW was “Put the German Flag on every Goverment Building” so we are stepping clearly into AFD territory not just Dipping their Toes, its pretty sad and Completly stupid.
The AFD allready exist , we dont a Second one. So BSW should take the sane Positions “Speaking with Russia” , “Nato does not bring us security” , and draw a Clear distinction line on Liberal Archievment , then Protect them From the AFD. Its Not only amoral but also tacticly bad.
EDit: The Cognito Hazard Quote: “turns parents and children into guinea pigs for an ideology that only benefits the pharmaceutical lobby.” , is pretty insane and new to me , wheres that from ?
“traditional family” is an ultra-common queerphobic dogwhistle, which is hardly surprising from a piece of shit like Dagdelen who fought tooth and nail against the trans community during the endless, painful years that it took to pass the self ID law. Her stance on this is the actual party line, as is the transphobia quoted above which is just the run of the mill conspiracy brained take that terfs had ever since Janice Raimond wrote Transsexual Empire in the 1970s. Which is hardly surprising when the BSW takes their entire positions on this issue from an ancient arch terf fossil like Wagenknechts bestie Alice Schwartzer. If you would listen to your trans comrades instead of insulting us, you could know that.
The exact quote takes place at 2:09 however it isn’t the only transphobic point made by her in this statement.
