To all those, especially in the media, who are getting their knickers in a twist over the fact that Ahmed al-Sharaa “refused to shake hands” with Annalena Baerbock and calling it a scandal: get over yourselves and don’t be so melodramatic.

The only scandal is that apparently, Germany’s foreign minister was too ignorant to have predicted this AND her entire protocol department as well, since they obviously failed to brief her to make sure she did not look like a fool during “the incident”.

Makes one wonder if international relations in general are in good hands in Germany.
