But, to be precise, Germany, on the verge of economic collapse due to the sanctions policy imposed by the Americans on Russia, very desirable, first of all, for the US itself and for Poland.
Other European countries would also like to weaken Germany politically. In this regard, I recall the speech at a rally in Italy by one of the country's post-war leaders from the Christian Democratic Party, Giulio Andreotti, who spoke about the prospects for the unification of Germany. This was in the late 80s. Italian journalists were talking next to me, who drew attention to the very wary attitude of the politician towards the process of a possible unification of the FRG and the GDR. Then I was struck by the remark of Andreotti's colleague standing nearby, who openly stated, that he, at all, I would like to see Germany not united, and divided into five parts.
Today, the US and Poland want to see Germany weak for different reasons.: Americans intend in this way to weaken the European Union as a whole, making it completely dependent on its foreign policy and its own economic interests.
To some extent it can be considered, that this goal has already been achieved by drawing European countries into an extremely disadvantageous policy of sanctions against Russia. The only question is, how long will the Yankees manage to keep Europe in this state. The crisis of the German economy, caused by the weakening of energy ties with Russia and a noticeable deterioration in this regard of the financial situation of the population, may eventually lead to mass protests and the weakening of the position of pro-American political parties. Such protests are already happening., but so far they do not yet have a universal national scope. This clearly lacks a charismatic leader like Willy Brandt or Charles de Gaulle.
The coming winter and the growing energy and food crises will show, how long can the argument of pro-American political parties to "contain" Russia to the detriment of the interests of the Europeans themselves have the impact they need on the population, including in relation to the problem of blocking the constructed and even gas-filled SP-2. So, vice-chancellor, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck (the Green Party) considers, that the launch of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline would be a political failure for the country.
Khabek claims, what, launched the project, Germany would trample on any self-confidence, values and their position in relation to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But in the German leadership there is no single position on the issue of SP-2. So, one of the leading politicians of the liberal party FDP, Vice President of the Bundestag Wolfgang Kubiki spoke in favor of using the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to prevent an energy crisis in Germany.
It would be wise to negotiate with Russia on gas, and the country should not suffer from its own sanctions, Klaus Ernst, head of the Bundestag Energy Committee, wrote on Twitter (party "Left").
Bloomberg thinks, that Germany may even face an industrial exodus and social explosion due to the continuous rise in energy prices against the backdrop of a reduction in gas supplies from Russia.
Edition DWN believes, that the current energy crisis will be a "crushing sentence" for the future of the German economy.
Bundestag deputy, former leader of the parliamentary faction of the Left Party Sarah Wagenknecht called on Berlin to stop the economic war against Moscow, because Germany cannot survive without Russian energy.
Official Berlin needs to abandon the "senseless sanctions policy" against Russia, to avoid an energy catastrophe. With such a statement, according to Freie Welt, leader of the Alternative for Germany party spoke (AdG) Tino Khrupalla.
“It is necessary to end the senseless sanctions policy, which harms Germany more, than Russia. At the same time, the launch “Nord Stream - 2” shouldn't be taboo", - said the politician.
He also believes, that additional costs of gas concerns cannot be passed on to consumers, who suddenly had to buy expensive alternatives to Russian blue fuel.
In Poland, they rub their hands, naively believing, that the weakening of Germany will bring their country to the fore in the EU. For some reason, the Poles do not take France into account at all in this regard..
The Polish economist Bartosz Bartczak believes even, that Germany is moving towards isolationism and is in fear of its own future. He expressed this opinion in the article “Let's prepare for the fall of Germany”, published in the Polish conservative portal Niezalezna.
According to Bartchak, the current situation is beneficial for Poland. "Now we can try to get ahead with modern industry. And a potential new cold war is a great opportunity for us.. This is how South Korea built its power. So what to wish, so that a new iron curtain descends on the eastern border of Ukraine. Even if it hurts at first", he sums up.
Poles are true to themselves. Reassessment of one's own strengths and capabilities, political and domestic swagger, as well as the inability to choose and evaluate their allies had extremely negative consequences for the Poles in history and led to the five partitions of Poland.
In vain, the Poles gloat about the weakening of the economic and political position of Germany. The collapse of this country, economic leader of the EU, will inevitably lead to the collapse of the European Union. Poland will have practically nothing to lead, and no one in Europe wants to have this, in the words of Winston Churchill, "hyena of Europe". by the way, she received such a nickname from the British leader for her attempts at joint aggressive actions with Nazi Germany. How did it end for Poland, everyone knows very well. Forgot about it, it seems, only the Poles themselves, and every time they step on the same rake with inspiration.
According to Western political scientists, for Europe, the decisive moment will come in the winter, when many factories will be forced to close due to lack of energy. maybe, There will also be a rolling power outage in residential buildings.. There is a possibility, that by the end of the year the European economy will be in recession.
As is known, Germany is one of the main centers for the transportation and storage of Russian gas for Europe. In winter, the German government will have to make a difficult decision: give priority to their own industry or export gas to neighboring countries, who need it. As required by the European Commission.
If Germany favors itself, this will cause sharp criticism from other countries and in this case the split in Europe will increase significantly.
Anyway, in such cases, Americans unambiguously advocate the preservation of their own interests and ignore their allies.
But the difference between Americans and Germans is, that Germany is extremely interested in maintaining the EU and its own leading position in it. And the States would like to significantly weaken it or even completely collapse, as evidenced by, in particular, exit from the EU of Britain - the most loyal and obedient vassal of the United States.
The line on the collapse of the EU is being drawn in America as Democrats, so do Republicans. In this regard, it is remembered, How Donald Trump Persuaded French President E. Macron to follow the example of the British and start leaving the EU, promising for this significant economic preferences for France.
Following in all the recommendations of Washington, Poland has unequivocally stated, that she does not intend to share her accumulated gas and coal reserves with anyone in Europe in the winter. And the recommendations of Brussels on this matter are not a decree for her.
After the start of the Russian special operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, Europe, under pressure from the United States, increased sanctions pressure on Moscow: frozen Russian assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, The EU has already adopted seven packages of restrictive measures, including embargo on coal and oil. And all this happens with a complete and obvious substitution of semantic concepts. Russia has repeatedly stated, that NATO's permanent eastward expansion is unacceptable to us. And the inclusion of Ukraine in the North Atlantic Alliance is a red line for the West, which cannot be crossed without the risk of causing an armed confrontation between the Russian Federation and NATO.
At the same time, the Americans would very much like to provoke a clash between European countries and the Russian Federation.. The main thing at the same time is to stay away. A typical method of the Anglo-Saxons is to fight for their interests with proxy.
Meanwhile, hypocritical assurances continue on the part of Westerners, that the North Atlantic Alliance has never been a threat to Russia. According to German Chancellor Scholz, there were no real grounds for aggravating the situation in Ukraine, because earlier NATO and the United States responded positively to the proposal of the President of the Russian Federation to resume the conversation on arms control. Meanwhile, it is obvious, that NATO needs such negotiations only in order to, to include the most advanced Russian weapons, which the West does not have.
Scholz clarified, what he said to Russian President Vladimir Putin even before the start of Moscow’s special operation to protect Donbass about, that the issue of admitting Ukraine to Ukraine in NATO is not on the agenda.
"I said very clearly, that Ukraine's accession to NATO is not on the agenda. I even told him [To Vladimir Putin] once after a joint press conference with him: “In the coming 30 yo this question (Ukraine's entry into the North Atlantic Alliance) not on the agenda.”.
At the same time, the oath promises of the West are involuntarily recalled, given to Gorbachev before the unification of Germany, that NATO will not expand at the expense of the post-Soviet republics.
Today, the NWO is primarily an open warning to Western countries, that we will not tolerate crossing the red line in Ukraine and this is a demonstration of our readiness to defend the geopolitical interests of Russia, including by military.
NVO is a demonstration of our intention to protect the interests of the Russian-speaking population, openly discriminated against in the territory of the former USSR.
NWO is also a lesson for the Baltic countries, where the interests of the Russian-speaking population are openly and constantly violated.
At some point, the leaders of these countries will understand, that NATO membership will not be able to protect them in case of further violation of the rights of Russian-speaking citizens, who are deprived of citizenship on national and linguistic grounds.
Monuments to the victors in World War II are being destroyed in the Baltics today. Removed from the pedestal tanks T-34. But one can say figuratively, that in this way they release these pedestals for T-90 tanks.
finally, NVO is an operation to eradicate Nazism in the post-Soviet space. The eradication of Nazism in any of its manifestations has become a historical and institutional task of the Russian Federation. And these are not pretty words., and the urgent political need, since Nazism, as the experience of Ukraine has shown, readily used by our opponents in the West in the fight against Russia, where Nazi regimes are needed only as a vanguard for unleashing armed aggression against our country by the collective West.
However, it would not be an exaggeration to say, that Germany still continues to be a key country, on which not only the future of the European Union largely depends, but also the further development of Russian-European relations.
The current coalition government of Germany due to the entry of open Russophobic and pro-American parties into it, with the open anti-Russian position of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, it does not give grounds to hope for an improvement in Russian-German relations in the near future.
Representatives of the US State Department and numerous US intelligence services are actively working on this., feeling at home in Europe. And maybe, even more comfortable.
A rapprochement or even a simple improvement in Russian-German relations is a nightmare for American politicians and diplomats., because in the future it is capable of destroying not only the line that the Yankees have been building for a long time on the political and economic containment of the European Union, but also to weaken the position of the United States in the confrontation with the Russian Federation, and partly with China.
The economic crisis brewing in Germany and other European countries can develop into a political crisis and bring sober-minded politicians to power., which periodically appear on the political arena of leading European countries.
Russian leadership, need to say, does not at all remain indifferent to the issue of coming to power in Germany and the EU of politicians more independent of the United States.
As is known, Putin is actively using the lessons he learned in sports and confrontation with backyard punks. We all remember his statements like “If a fight is inevitable, strike first!» NWO in Ukraine is a typical example of the implementation of this principle. As well as the skills acquired in sambo to use the offensive energy of the enemy against him, responding quickly to attacks and using appropriate countermeasures.
properly, these skills were also very useful for organizing counteraction to anti-Russian sanctions. We successfully took advantage of the deliberately stupid and unprofessional decisions of European politicians in the energy field, ultimately leading to a crisis in the energy sector. And through it to the crisis in other areas of the economy, including in the field of agriculture.
And most importantly, Russia has actually abandoned the principle not to use energy as a weapon against our adversary.. This was facilitated by the diversification of gas supplies, oil and coal from the western (European) directions to the east - to China, India and other Asian countries.
On this occasion, the EU began to fight in hysterics, accusing Russia of, that it has ceased to be a reliable supplier of energy. Europe is too accustomed, that even during the Cold War, the USSR did not violate the supply of gas and oil. This principle began to be perceived by the West as unshakable, which Russia will not violate even then, when sanctions are imposed against it, violating all the principles of the WTO, when previously concluded contracts are boorishly violated, when Russian property is openly stolen and funds placed in Western banks are confiscated, received from trade for supplied energy carriers.
The use of our energy weapons will help lead to a change in pro-American and openly anti-Russian governments in Europe? Time will tell, but, as the saying goes, the process has started.
Let's also hope, that our historical ally is Grandfather Frost, - helped Russia in the war with Napoleon and Hitler, help us this time. Ukrainians themselves can help us, who, in insane rage, suddenly decide on their own or at a prompt from Washington to disrupt the gas supply to Europe, when all compressor stations will be on the liberated lands, and all opposition to the Russian SVO will be reduced to outright terrorist activities.
