“Germany has lost its credibility in the United Nations and in the Middle East.”
“Germany has turned the idea of a unified European Union foreign policy into a farce.”
“Germany’s hopes for a permanent Security Council seat can be buried. Even the idea of an EU seat is damaged.”
“I don’t know what the German foreign minister was thinking, but (the abstention) doesn’t have much in common with a values-driven foreign policy nor with German and European Union interests.”
“German hopes for a permanent seat on the Security Council have been permanently dashed and one is now fearful of Europe’s future.”
“Why is it so difficult for us in Germany to realize that we have to help the rebels in Libya, primarily because a bloodbath is looming in Benghazi?”
“Everyone has seen pictures of the Warsaw ghetto. Everyone knows what happens when an army takes over a city. That’s why all parties in France, including on the left, were in favor of a military intervention in Libya. In Germany, that didn’t happen.”
“The opposition to our closest partner France is a break with all constants of German foreign policy since 1949.”
“I have nothing but shame for the failure of our government.”
“The reform of the United Nations Security Council remains a major goal for the German government. The German government’s willingness to shoulder more responsibility within the framework of such reform is unchanged.”

The very notion is a farce. Even with their “expansion plan” for the number of seats, the Europeans, comprising less than 1/12 of humanity would have 25% of the votes, roughly 8-9 times the per-capita influence as India.
In fact they should LOSE one of their seats on the security council (the EU being the imaginary new superpower that they want it declared to be), and to lose 26 of their general assembly seats as well.
