German Navy Chief Vice Admiral Schönbach Tenders His Resignation After Talking Tough On China

German Navy Chief Vice Admiral Kay-Achim Schönbach tended his resignation late on Saturday over his comments in India that Ukraine never become a NATO member and cannot get back Crimea while adding to remarks that Russian President Vladimir Putin “probably” deserved respect. While Navy Chief spoke on the Ukraine crisis, it was his ‘tough remark’ on China which sent another flurry among the experts of geopolitics. In the wide-ranging talk at M-IDSA, Schoenbach said that India must forge wider military alliances internationally to shield itself against a potential war with China.
