@101101000 yes, i never liked her politics but she a) has an actual degree in serious science which she very likely not got by cheating (like the clowns we now have) b) stood behind her word (even if i hate most decisions) c) knew how to handle other leaders of bigger power without begging to get nuked. she was respectable, as ally and as enemy.
scholz (and the other collected psychos) really is only a spineless puppet.
