Ukraine manages to attract attention. This is especially evident in the latest Defense Department video. The Ukrainians thanked Germany for the tanks and military support with the near-epic Edeka commercial “Supergeil”, accompanied by the song of the same name. And it goes viral. The video already has more than 500,000 views.
In the 43-second video that the ministry published on Twitter on Wednesday, Friedrich Liechtenstein (66), a Berlin sect, also appears. The individual sequences are occasionally interrupted by words like “Super Cheetah”, “Super Iris” or “Super Defense”. They refer to the weapons and defense systems that Germany has made available to the Ukrainians.
But the Ukrainians really want a tank, which is why they advertise in the short clip. They ask for a Leopard tank. This is also briefly shown in the clip, followed by the “Super Please” fade-in. A “Thank you Germany” appears at the end of the video.
Cult Berliners no idea
Sect Berliner Liechtenstein knew nothing about it, however, his management tells the Tagesschau. Cooperation with the Ukrainian Defense Ministry was “not agreed”. It is not yet clear whether action should be taken against the use.
The arms transfers from Germany are controversial and the federal government hesitated for a long time. It has now supplied, among other things, thirty anti-aircraft tanks, Gepard, ten Bergepanzer 2 and an Iris-T SLM air defense system. The government has so far refused to provide Leopard battle tanks and Marder infantry fighting vehicles. The reason given is that no other partner would provide Ukraine with such modern Western tanks.
The propaganda master is called Ukraine
Ukraine seems to become the master of propaganda. While Russian President Vladimir Putin (70) led the way with his lies, misrepresentations and especially his manipulation at the start of the war in Ukraine, the funny, albeit controversial, propaganda clips are now gaining sympathy from many.
Putin imposed censorship on the Russian media, including Twitter and YouTube. There are also special propaganda classes in schools about ‘Russia’s charity operations in Ukraine’.
