[Eng Sub] Steinmeier yells at protesters (Steinmeier schreit Gegner nieder) - Video
PUBLISHED:  May 23, 2014
DESCRIPTION:
In Itallic: the voices of the protestes / In bold: the signs
I will remove any comments in which any of the parties involved is being gravely insulted without arguments.

This video shows German foreign affairs minister Frank Steinmeier loosing his cool when facing loud protesters. It was viewed over 2'000'000 times on "Die Welt Video". Among those watching are many who do not understand German. That called for an English version so anyone can accurately understand what is being said.

Protesters find that the West's stance against Putin's Russia and its actions in Ukraine may lead to war, are ill-motivated and give power to fascist Ukrainians. Many refute this, saying it is a simplistic world view, based on Putin's propaganda which frequently paints any Ukrainians willing to rebuild their nation as "Nazis". Steinmeier received support for showing that he cares about the politics he does - about the goal of making peace. However, others bashed him.

In the end, like Steinmeier says, the situation is very complex. Bashing and pointing out what doesn't work is simple, but utterly useless and destructive.
