It is kind of interesting how deeply involved his foundation is in German political "think tanks" as well. Recently a group of intellectuals published an open letter opposing delivery of heavy weapons to Ukraine. Shortly after a different group of intellectuals lead by two former Green-party politicians, that are now heading a think-tank, published an open letter in support of it. Guess who initially provided significant funding to their think tank: The open society foundation. The German public broadcaster regularly interviews experts on Ukraine. Yesterday they ran with the headline "Regime um Putin zunehmend faschistisch” - "Putin's regime is increasingly fascistic". The guy they interviewed was Stefan Meister, employed by dgap.org (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Auswärtige Politik - German Society for Foreign Policy), sounds benign, but they are known for financing luxury trips of >350 parliamentary aides to German weapons manufacturers. The Open Society Foundation is again a major donor: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Gesellschaft_für_Auswärtige_Politik https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Gesellschaft_für_Au....
