German spy chief hopes US will 'soon be at our side again' – DW – 03/10/2025

With the BND, I'd worry very much about what they think is "the best".

Given the history of the post WW2 German intelligence service, I'd have a much more sinister suspicion, when the head of the BND hopes that the current US in its current, and most likely future condition for a long time, will be on the same side again soon.

Except instead of putting those things in a box he is just chucking them into a fire

"Hope for the best, but *plan for the worst*."

I hear there are places in Berlin that charge a small amount of money give you a towel for such fantasies.

Sure he does. Because the German "go-home-service" can't find their ass in a brown paper bag without their big buddies from the US.
