Germany was deeply involved in the Ukraine affair as well, but was cloaked in the EU flag because it made for better optics. Either the MSM was ignorant of that aspect or willfully chose not to comment thereupon.
I recall when our diplomat Nuland was "overheard" saying, "F*** the EU", -not a single- genuine official of the EU commented upon that episode. But who reacted like she had been stung in the behind ? Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany (who, btw is not an EU official although she has a national political role in an EU country). For Merkel, Nuland might as well have said, "F*** the German government and their schemes". Very telling for those who had the eyes to see.
One thing that is apparent from the maneuvering around is that countries and peoples have agendas that endure much longer than the lives of individuals. This is why it is misleading to judge the behavior of a country based simply on having met a few nice individuals from that country.
Group dynamics, including agendas, are much more significant drivers of national behavior.
Cheers
