The US might go along with this though to accelerate the decline of Germany’s “peaceful” hegemony over the bloc in favor of a “multipolar EU” led by a combination of Poland, France, Italy, and others.
You think Trump hadn’t already thought of all this? Why do you think the Vance speech was allowed in the first place? Germany will cut its nose off to spite its face and hurt the population even more which will result in more elections and judging by the last results will push Germany even further to the right. Trump is trying to kill the globalist deep state that has tried to kill our civil liberties here in the US. He’s destroying the deep state here and may even destroy it around the world. Germany is just another domino and once they fall the UK would be the last stronghold of these no borders world leaders. Trump will have saved the world and the 250th independence celebration here will be a huge party! Imagine saving the world without firing a shot!
Germany may be 'supine and dependent' on the US but it has the rest of the EU in a death grip. Its control of the ECB gives it control of every Eurozone country's budget and economy - it can and has shuttered Central Banks overnight for the sin of popular resistance, ie Greece 2015, Cyprus 2016.
The euro itself is the transformed deutsche mark, giving Germany the incomparable advantage of a cheap currency that is too expensive for all the other EU states, leading to the 25 year deterioration of every other economy. The cheap euro has allowed Germany to be 100% mercantilist within the EU, and to crush national market sectors at will. The power invested in it by the Americans 'allows' it to bypass the EU's own tender laws to 'award' the largest infrastructure projects in the EU to itself , ie airports, metros , electricity stations etc.
Unmentioned in Korybko's analysis is the German intelligence agency, 100% intertwined with the US intelligence. Really? Merz is going to detach from that?
All Merz is suggesting here is a drastic increase in the EU's sovereignty-draining power under the guise of an EU army to fight 'our' non-existent foe, Russia. This is 100% in line with Anglo-American strategy since WW2, which the undemocratic, non representative, unelected and externally imposed EU was invented to serve. At the expense of the 28 states trapped inside and every citizen of Europe.
Merz should stop crying and break out the best champagne on the occasion. This is the greatest opportunity Germany and Europe had since 1945. America brought a tsunami of destruction to Europe that lasted eighty long years. Finish the crying and start working. Throw out the insane murderers from the German cities and rebuild your nation. You do have everything you need.
I have great ideas as to how Germany can be saved and as much as it is unlikely that anyone if importance will hear what I said, it is not impossible so ill keep quiet. Sounds a bit cocky, eh?
Krauts deserve their destiny and this is nor even the tip of the iceberg of it all. EU effectively made them quick and easy bucks through dominant tech not having barriers in the EU zone, drang nach osten in economical ways, destruction of southern EU economies, for fueling, flaming and fanning bloody wars in Joogoslavia.. and in Ukraina too
Germany needs to be kept down just enough to not be able to rise again to the same level as during euphoric times in the EU and not too low so it does not rear its ugly head like in the aftermath of the Versailles Truce.
At the moment, Germany is busy destroying its industrial base, and all by itself. People who think that this will improve the chances for their economic neighbors live in an alternative universe.
One thing for sure, they are a tech powerhouse and benefited mankind a lot more than most. Just need to be kept on a long leash so that they can growl and bark, but not maul neighbour's kids
Everyone is talking about minerals and energy. No one is talking about food. Cars and goods are luxuries if you don't have enough to eat. If we reach 2 degrees of warming by 2030-35, and there's no reason to think that we won't, food insecurity in Africa, India, West Asia and South America will become severe. Productivity of wheat in the exporting bread baskets of Russia, Ukraine, the US, Australia and France will decline by about 20%. 2.5 billion people (1.5 billion already in food insecurity) depend on this trade import of wheat surplus to survive.
G'day Jo, food insecurity in Africa is mostly caused by colonialism and neo colonialism. There is a surplus of food in the world but profit stops the correct distribution. Since China's manufacture of cheap farming equipment the third world is far more productive than it ever was. Climate change will surely have an effect with or without Kurvingrads stove but there are so many other factors involved in food insecurity(sic).
Yes. Absolutely right rakyat. These longstanding neo/colonial problems are going to be rapidly and greatly exaggerated by the environmental crisis, caused by the West. The West either doesn’t know or doesn’t care as most of the starving will be Black, Brown or Latino.

Let us know when germany gets its own AWACS or satellite recon capabilities.
This is rhetoric, nothing more. Germany remains utterly supine and dependent.

So what do the prisoners trapped in europe propose to do about it? I've seen whipped dogs with more self-respect.

Good for Krauts, even better bc of selfdestruction they can't project their anger some place east or south east.
People think a lot.... economy is not a zero sum game.
Hmmm. Krauts are best when happy and saturated. Like one saw with the economic crisis of 1929-1932.
I like them better in the period 1945-1948
One thing for sure, they are a tech powerhouse and benefited mankind a lot more than most. Just need to be kept on a long leash so that they can growl and bark, but not maul neighbour's kids
A beginning: a German-Canadian deal for oil and LNG. Both decoupling from the US...

It's entirely feasible that 1 in 4 will starve to death in the next 10 years. https://richardcrim.substack.com/p/the-crisis-report-103

"If we reach 2 degrees warming but he end of year so and so..."
LOL, in this day and age, there are people who still say that and believe it, go figure.
LOL, in this day and age of awareness of propaganda, there’s still people who believe giant cartels that the obvious is in doubt. Go figure.
Hockey stick, rational wiki.... no doubt 2deg is just around the corner and all because cows fart and my gas fuel stove
