One of Putin’s favorite weapons in his arsenal of humiliating everybody he comes in touch with is being from 1 to 6 hours late to all of his appointments. In Russia, his chronic tardiness is notorious. One of his favorite trick is to announce that he will be at some public event, surround the place where the event occurs with a crowd of security personnel, and let the guests, the performers, the athletes or whomever to stew in their juices for 3-4 hours until he deigns to arrive.
Finally, however, there is somebody who has the backbone to stand up to Putin.

Merkel is the head of a wealthier nation than Putin is and Putin is trying to get concessions, so of course she walked out.
1)How late is late for a German?
2) And how soon did she cancel the initial meeting? I’m not finding any details.

Once I had to walk +5 minutes in Budapest because half of the 5th district was closed just because he visited. I was late, and my business was definitely more important than catering to this psycho. I’m glad I will never have a meeting with him 😀 Merkel was right. Someone who doesn’t respect your time, doesn’t respect you as a human being. It’s just primitive power demonstration that’s done by self-important subhumans. I make you wait little peasant, because your life is not as important as mine.
