I think this thread needs some updating and perhaps the title of the thread could be changed to something like "Women in power pushing for war".
The article from 6 years ago, which got slightly updated in March is a primer and a number of those mentioned there are still very much active. Some of these are:
These are all Americans, but the EU has certainly caught up in the those years and deserve a space here.
What I have noticed is the surprising number of women in Western countries who have become defence ministers in recent years and who are to say the least. The same goes for female foreign ministers.
The sheer number is too big to list in one post and
I also hope that others will be happy to help.
My speculation is that a number of these women are put in those positions for the reason that it might be easier to sell the war agenda to the general population. Women are normally not what we associate with war and direct aggression. Those soldiers dying at the front are mainly men. Yet as we know, psychopaths and their ilk are not defined by gender and thus it is interesting to see how many women in positions of power, are happy to fuel policies of willful destruction and send young men to their deaths on the battlefield. On the surface of it, we are being told that these young men are dying defending our values of freedom and democracy, yet it is merely in defence of the hegemonic dominance of the golden 1 billion. Even that is not quite true as it is only really about the defence of a tiny elite who control the resources and power and who are happy to install a utopian totalitarian regime ruling over that 'garden' of 1 billion people and the other 7 billion outside in the 'jungle' as Borrell called it.
Here are a few just from recent days.

The
German Defense minister until a month ago, Christine Lambrecht, (She was critizised for not giving arms to Ukraine fast enough, though she had been going along with war agenda, but to the neocons in the US German arms can not get to Ukraine fast enough). In October when she was in Odessa,
she said:
Her successor to the post of defense minister was a man,
Boris Pistorius, who was critizised by the left for the simple fact that he wasn't a woman. The left likes to have women defense ministers, which just highlights the obsession with gender and the outside appearance rather than something like qualifications. (I am not saying that Pistorius has those qualifications).
A
previous German defense minister is Ursula von der Leyen, now EU President, who has demonstrated in so many ways both her ineptitude but also her allegiance to the neocon warmongering cabal. Here is one quote from
an article:
Another woman in Germany who also bears mentions in regarding this subject is
Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, head of the Bundestag Defense Committee. She is also behind the war agenda, the Russophobia etc. as her response to a question in
this recent article shows:
Denmark has a prime minister, Mette Frederiksen is fully aligned with the US position on Ukraine and gives, whenever it is being asked. The lastest has been giving Denmark's entire arsenal of Ceasar howitzers.
Zelensky has been given the red carpet treatment in Denmark ever since the war started and there are no indications that it is going to stop any time soon.
