If you're a wannabe supapowah like India sure you can throw a temper tantrum and overstate your importance because you're (India) too gullible to be told you're the next best thing since slice bread, a mother of democracy lol..
I don’t get why people are more triggered over this compared to all the other stuff they did.
LMAO too many hikikomori shut-ins

NBC. Why, it’s almost as if that was the object of the exercise!
It is possible that TikTok is already much closer to Washington than it is to Beijing.

I don't think there would be a significant change in Turkish foreign policy. We would likely be a bit "tougher" against Russia but that's about it. I want Erdogan go. His religious regressivism and plunder of national resources for himself are good enough reasons.

I suspect that Baerbock functions as a rhetorical smokescreen to deflect from Germany's ongoing economic engagement with China.
Imagine all the gacha pulls you can buy with ~$6000. Tho idk if it is hard cash or something similar to China voucher system… but chances are it will be hard cash and this is just gacha welfare program.
Diplomacy according to the vociferous critics here is to be like India and U.S. in rhetorical unhinged like statements that's been find toothless and pathetic (India).
My speculation: the US goal with these "leaks" is to discredit Russia. The US wants to show neutral and Russia-friendly countries that Russia can absolutely not be trusted because Russian intelligence is compromised with moles. In this way, the US hopes to isolate Russia in Africa (leak Egypt, denied), the Middle East (leak the UAE, denied), Asia (leak China, denied), Europe (leak Serbia, denied). Only South America is spared, but I would not be surprised if tomorrow the New York Times informs us of another "leak", for example about Mexico. The goal, I repeat, is to discredit and isolate Russia.
Annalena Baerbock is a typical Western politician that always talk about values. She trash-talked a lot of BS but she didn't get to meet anyone important. As we all knew, she is from Green Party which is fundamentally supported by the US to cripple the German. German is leaderless at the moment. All German parties want to act tough against Russia and China. None of them are rational. However, German has not done anything to agitate China as some others did. Trash talking is disrespectful but it is rhetoric..
Remember how Merkel acted tough when she first came to power. China just ignored her until she has become more mature enough to understand world politics and German's national interests. After that, Merkel has re-markedly served German well and also maintained good good relationship with both Russia and China.
China is giving Annalena Baerbock and especially the ruling German coalition the benefit of doubt. If these politicians are wise enough, then it is mutually beneficial for China and EU to cooperate or at least maintain a friendly environment. If not and German acted stupid, then the UK Brexit and Japan lost decades are the prime example of moronic leaders that destroyed their countries because they want to throw a tantrum and forgot the responsibilities to serve their countries first not serving the US first.
China is building a new world and new coalition to decouple from the US and Dollars. EU doesn't need to join them but they might need to think wisely from being see as just a junior partner or even vassals of the US. If other countries see EU that way, then EU is done such as Japan was done as nobody gives a damn about what Japan said after Asian Financial Crisis no matter how much money Japan throw at them.
