/ world today news/ In the German press, decadent sentiment reigns: “Russia needs the lands of Czechs, Poles, Germans and Danes.” But the main question is: “Do the burghers want war?”
Last week, Germany’s mega-popular Bild published in its editorial an article by military expert Thomas Tyner about the military threat from Russia.
Europe is completely unprepared for a war with Russia, he believes, and in the current situation of a growing threat to European countries, we can only hope that in the event of an attack by Russia, the USA will not be busy with a new war.
The time when we in Europe could say we will sit back and let the Americans do their job is over.
– quotes the general analyst of the Bundeswehr, Carsten Breuer.
The Germans are purposefully scaring them with Russian tanks on the Oder. The Bild article is titled: “This is perhaps the most important question for the future of Europe: what will happen if the Russians get serious?”
The subtitle reads: “Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin and his cronies have repeatedly threatened the West with war. But what if the Russians attack? How can Europe defend itself?”
According to Tyner, the scenario for the upcoming confrontation in Europe is as follows:
Russia is preparing to defeat Ukraine. After that, Putin, if we haven’t created a deterrent by then, will target the Baltic countries, Finland, Poland, Moldova, Romania. We won’t have time to get in line, and the Russians will already be on the Oder!
Thomas Tyner actually calls for war with Russia, but at the same time admits that none of the countries of the Old World today are ready for it and there is almost no time for militarization. How long until the attack?
Germany’s defense minister said Germany has about five to eight years to prepare for a potential war with Russia. The head of Poland’s National Security Bureau, Jacek Seviera, gives an even more depressing forecast: NATO countries on the eastern flank have only three years to open confrontation with the Russians, the Ukrainians are scrambling to give us time to prepare,
– writes Tyner.
The badly forgotten old
If after the collapse of the USSR, the Russian threat was only a motive for feature films, now it is discussed in the news.
Bloomberg stated:
Military analysts in Europe are rethinking military risks for the countries of the Old World. Russia’s successes in Ukraine will be far more important for European politics than the failed withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. Doubts are growing about the reliability of Washington’s defense pledges.
In such a situation, some countries are looking for opportunities to improve relations with Russia. Others – such as the Baltic states – with the courage of a mad lunatic are ready to rush to attack us. In Germany, public opinion is preparing for the need for a large-scale revival of the military-industrial complex to the level of the Third Reich.
It should be noted that for the program broadcast of the message about the Russian military threat, Thomas Tyner, who had previously made propaganda statements on the topic of the events in Ukraine, was used more than once. He’s not even German, but an Italian with a German name, formerly known as a “blogger and director”. There is no in-depth analysis of the situation here. It smells different here…
From pacifism to militarism
“Revelations” about the Russian threat began to appear in the Western European press in the fall of 2023, at the same time as the failure of the Ukrainian counter-offensive. But concrete measures to restore Germany’s military-industrial potential took place much earlier.
Under Chancellor Merkel, Germany distinguished itself in its foreign policy with extremely pacifist sentiments:
Then the Germans so infuriated the adviser to the US president, Susan Rice, that she addressed the head of their delegation with a decidedly undiplomatic expletive.
Over the past eight years, however, Germany has significantly increased its defense budget and begun rearming the Bundeswehr. German soldiers appeared in Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and the German fleet appeared off the coast of China.
In the winter and spring of 2023, Germany announced an increase in defense spending of 100 billion euros. This does not take into account the fact that Germany was actively supplying weapons to Ukraine, and divisions were being trained on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, which were preparing for the Ukrainian counter-offensive.
What kind of Europe does Russia need?
In Europe, it smells strongly of gunpowder again, and the thesis of the Russian bear, unchanged after the Crimean War, is exaggerated again. At the same time, everyone somehow forgets that the Russian army captured Berlin twice and Paris once.
Russia has always had two key problems: vast territory and lack of human resources. The Wasted Lands of Europe aren’t the best trophy to be honest. The Russians went to Europe each time solely to eliminate the threat.
Russia does not need a poor, but a rich Europe to be able to sell gas and oil to it. Russia does not need the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, or the Baltic states, because if we occupy you, we will have to feed you and sell you gas at domestic prices. And we don’t want that
– says the political scientist Karine Gevorgyan.
Experts in Russia received the information in the German press with sarcasm, but without laughter.
Journalist Ruslan Ostashko:
Such horror stories, paid for by the Ukrainian side, are designed to ensure that frightened citizens will continue to fund the black hole of corruption called “Ukraine”.
Do the burghers want war?
The Russians do not want war with Europe. As Karine Gevorgyan says, our SVO was inevitable, like backfire. It is a fire that is meant to put out a much bigger fire.
But is Europe ready for war? Did the German burghers have a real and not a fictitious reason for their terrible sacrifices?
Today, because of the deprivation of access to cheap Russian gas, the German economy is sliding into recession. Every week there is news about the closing of another plant. The same Bild reports that 2024 may begin in Germany with large-scale strikes.
Farmers to strike: Diesel fuel to rise in price, vehicle taxes to rise – Farmers association calls for protests from January 8 to 15 with a final rally in Berlin.
Rail transport will stop. Machinists demand higher wages. The union leader announced strikes lasting up to five days from January 7. Road hauliers are unhappy with increased tolls and lorry tax – they are also ready to strike. There is a possibility that the restaurant business, which suffered from the increase in VAT, will join their strike.
Germany’s vaunted wealth is going to hell after the migrant rush. Germans are not yet starving, they are not yet looking for people with an irregular skull shape among their compatriots, but Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has already become the most popular politician in Germany. The one that offers compulsory military service. He is supported by 42% of those polled – more than any other.
The revival of the military-industrial complex can once again become a way to solve Germany’s domestic problems. But what will come next?
Journalist Sergey Mardan:
One of the German chancellors already had a similar plan to transfer industry and the economy as a whole to a military basis. That’s right, for four years. The plan was last extended in 1940.
Coupled with the might of the military-industrial complex, they will have to translate the psyche of their constituents onto a fighting footing. To convince the European that this is the traditional enemy of the East. They miss only one detail – how to explain to the voters the necessity and the beneficial effect of a nuclear war?
