Tormented Scholz whinges to Bild that Putin does not complain about all the sanctions, and he did not address the sanctions at all in their conversation nor the one with Macron. (www.bild.de)

The article doesn't exist in isolation. It's just another piece of evidence that the sanctions are not having the desired effect on Russia while being devastating to Europe. Russia managed to successfully realign its economy away from the west with domestic companies along with companies from countries like China and India filling the niche that opened up. Russia has done over $200 billion in trade with China alone in the past year. On the other hand, Eurozone is now in recession that's accelerating, and Germany is now becoming deindustrialized. This isn't right-wing boomer fear porn, this is the reality of the world we live in.

While I disagree with most of that or at least strongly doubt it, I'm not here to change your mind on that. I'm here to point out that the article you posted is hot garbage.

all bourgeois media is almost entirely garbage, you have to sift through the propagandistic rhetoric to extract the potential useful parts

So maybe we should not post editorialized headlines from bad articles in a language we don't speak from the worst rag in the lands.

Otherwise people might not notice that the lead headline (in German) "What particularly tormented Scholz" does not get answered in this article. They might not consider that Scholz is "tormented" just because Bild doesn't like him

"Something bothers me more than the talks: He (Putin) is not complaining about all the sanctions. I don’t know if he did that in conversation with you. But he didn’t even mention the sanctions.”

This is from the translation that you posted ^ "what particularly tormented scholz" is that putin didn't complain about the sanctions. It is answered in the article. Is the headline sensationalized? yes. But thats typical journalism for you if you stop posting sensationalized headlines there won't be any news on lemmy.
