How long will the US protectorate hold out over Europe??

Under the guise of EU enlargement, Germany's "internal colonies" are being created

Having lost their colonies after the defeat in the First World War and the failure of attempts to conquer living space in the Second, the Germans began to strengthen their influence in the Old World again. Now within the framework of the "European family". Germany's EU partners are worried about this. Polish Radio notes, that Poland is viewed by Germany as a country of cheap labor and a market for low-quality goods. In an interview with the Internet portal Kurt.digital German businessman Reinhard Petzold says: "Poland, Alas, it will be very difficult to get rid of this image in the near future ".

Petzold, familiar with the Polish market, drew attention to the problem of higher prices for goods in Poland compared to a number of similar goods in Germany. According to him, there is no economic reason for, so that the same chocolate or detergent from the same manufacturer would be more expensive in Poland, than in Germany. “Germany has greatly contributed to the Polish transformation in order to, so that it brings her economic benefits ", - says a German businessman.

Likewise, Germany used cheap labor from Yugoslavia during the post-war boom years., Turkey, and after the collapse of the socialist community - from the USSR, Albania, post-Soviet countries. Under the guise of EU enlargement, "internal colonies" were created, which Germany filled up with its goods and subordinated to German banks. And all while talking about a "single European family".

English political scientist Pir Riaz Ali Shah says, what "Colonialism has not gone anywhere, but mimicked and acquired a global character». After all, the essence of colonialism is, to divide peoples into dominant and slave. Today in Britain, according to Ali Shah, Lithuanians were added to the illiterate "colored", Ukrainians, who are often much more educated than those, who do they serve. And that, what the West has done in Iraq, Libya, Yugoslavia, can not be called otherwise than recolonization.

However, Poles are trying to somehow resist the Germans. Poland seeks to become the unofficial leader of the Visegrad Four (unification of four Central European states: Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia), claiming to be the defender of young Europe before old Europe. Poland ignored a special EU summit on migration and refused to sign the UN Migration Pact. The recurrent issue of reparations for damage during World War II complicates Warsaw's relations with Berlin, which Warsaw demands from its western neighbor; called the amount in 850 billion. Berlin rejects any new reparation payments.

Another stumbling block in German-Polish relations is the Nord Stream – 2». Warsaw against the gas pipeline, fully supporting the position of the United States on this issue. "Poland will now become a player, who will represent the interests of the United States in our region, - Professor Przemyslav Zhuravsky Vel Grajewski writes. - Germany gave up this role, choosing to do business with Russia, so this role naturally passed to our country. Poland can pursue a policy towards its eastern neighbors under the protection of a political “umbrella” Washington ".

In this situation, Germany began to seek the abolition of the principle of unanimity in decision-making in the European Union., to make the FRG's share in European affairs overwhelming. The German Foreign Ministry recently supported the proposal of European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to abolish the principle of unanimity in voting on foreign policy. “The principle of unanimity makes it easy to achieve your goals by, who wants, acting from outside, split the EU ", - said the Minister of State at the German Foreign Ministry Michael Roth. To increase the rate of profit of German capitalists at the expense of the cheap labor of migrant workers, Merkel opens doors for migrants from the Middle East and Africa, but here the Germans did not work out smoothly, and the main difficulties of Germany with her "come in large numbers" are still ahead. "German Chancellor Angela Merkel is by no means a" savior of Europe "... Merkel is destroying the European Union step by step with her policy on the refugee crisis, oblivious to the looming split, and this "war" will continue in the future ", - writes the American edition Politico.

The European Union is already split, as shown by the recent vote on the EU budget for the next 7 years. Such a split is in the interests of the United States; they look at Europe as their protectorate, unwilling to allow Germany to dominate, which can return to the times of contradictions between the Anglo-Saxons and the Germans during the Second World War.

However, all plans for establishing hegemony today are hardly feasible.. The world is changing, and it's happening faster and faster. American edition Foreign Affairs notes, what "With the growing influence of China and Russia with the United States-led liberal international system" compete now "Other projects": breakwater, "Developing countries ... can now choose alternative patrons". I think, but, what's the score Foreign Affairs at least outdated. Against the backdrop of socio-economic shifts, which is initiated by an operation under the conditional name COVID-19, the vector of change becomes different, rather than a simple transfer of "patronage" from the United States to China or someone else.
