Germany has become a pawn of the USA, struggling with both domestic and geopolitical challenges. This is not the first time, and history suggests the odds are against Germany. This piece explores the dynamics at play and the potential consequences.
Domestic and Economic Turmoil
Germany faces significant challenges in its domestic politics, marked by erratic economic policies. Chancellor Scholz’s calls for restraint against Russia are undermined by his regular concessions to pressure. Consequently, Germany remains unaware that the USA is not a friend but a strategic manipulator driving the nation toward ruin.
Historical Control by Washington
Since the end of World War II, Germany has been under the influence of Washington. Despite this, there is a belief that Germany could stand up against this control. However, many Germans, indoctrinated by media and politicians, fail to recognize the growing risk of a third world war. This danger has been escalating, with no significant opposition from German politics or media.
Warmongering and Delusions
Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann of the FDP has called for the activation of 900,000 reservists, citing possible Russian attack plans. However, there is no evidence of such plans. President Putin’s angry response to these claims underscores the delusion behind them.
Historical Parallels and Continuous Warfare
Comparing President Putin to Hitler and referencing the Second World War, the current situation shows parallels to pre-World War I tensions. The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East could be precursors to a major catastrophe. The West’s peace conference in Switzerland, excluding Russia, is a fig leaf for aggressive intentions.
Lack of Education and Historical Awareness
The German leadership lacks historical awareness, leading to poor decisions. The hegemonic strategies of the past, like the British Empire’s response to Germany’s economic rise, still apply. Understanding theories like Mackinder’s Heartland Theory and strategies by Brzesinski and Friedman is crucial. However, the German government lacks this knowledge.
Economic Recovery Post-WWII
Germany’s post-WWII economic recovery was impressive, driven by hard work and effective policies. The Marshall Plan helped, but the Germans’ determination and skill were the primary factors. This success contrasts starkly with the current political and economic missteps.
Military Overreach and Consequences
Germany’s military overreach in World War II, particularly the invasion of the Soviet Union, led to catastrophic failure. The biographies of German generals often omit their role in these disastrous decisions. War diaries, like that of Franz Halder, reveal the lack of accurate oversight and erratic decision-making that contributed to Germany’s downfall.
Continued Conflict Despite Defeat
Despite strategic defeat in front of Moscow in 1941, Germany continued the war for three and a half more years. This persistence mirrors modern conflicts like Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Ukraine, where aggressors continue despite military defeat. The Nazis’ declared aim to exterminate the Soviets and other strategic reasons prevented them from seeking peace with Stalin.
US Strategy: Military Defeat, Strategic Success
The USA, despite military defeats, continues conflicts for strategic gains. The Iran-Iraq war is a prime example of this strategy. Although Iran prevailed militarily, it was left weakened, fulfilling the USA’s strategic goal. The US strategy in Ukraine has similarly led to military defeat but serves to prevent a Germany-Russia alliance.
Germany’s Political Landscape
Germany’s current political landscape lacks the will for a turnaround. New elections are unlikely to change this, as the AFD and the Sarah Wagenknecht alliance, the only groups advocating for negotiations with Russia, face significant opposition. The government and media systematically silence dissenting voices, echoing tactics from the 1930s.
Financial Collapse and Wake-Up Calls
The instability in Western financial markets could serve as a wake-up call, forcing a reassessment of the situation. Additionally, a military response from Russia could prompt reflection or escalate tensions further. The leading media in the West bears significant responsibility for the current state of affairs, having failed to provide objective reporting.
