Friedrich Merz: One country´s actions can trigger a chain reaction

 

Friedrich Merz: One country´s actions can trigger a chain reaction


When Merz predecessor, Angela Merkel, decided to open Germany´s borders, she could not foresee the problems that her approach would create. Suddenly, there were conflicts all over the EU when countries like Poland and Hungary rejected her open borders policies. She lived to regret her decision when she publicly stated "Multikulti ist Tot" and mass migration became so intense that it threatens Schengen Treaty arrangements. In her case, her decision did not involve engaging Germany in an all out war.

Friedrich Merz decision to authorize the use of German long range weapons against the Russian Federation is a completely different cup of tea with catastrophic consequences. Berlin has been told, over and over again (by Berlin I mean the German authorities) that such measure will in effect mean a declaration of war against the Russian Federation and that, therefore, the Russian Federation will be entitled to attack Germany. What Friedrich Merz has done, unitelaterally, is to put every single NATO country on a direct collision course with the Russian Federation.  Now, how can the Russian Federation attack Germany? Nuclear War.

Herr Merz got elected with less than 24% of the vote, taking into account that CDU did not get 24% of the vote. CDU/CSU got about 24% of the vote. His coalition partner - SPD - got 16% of the vote. It remains to be known what the German public actually thinks about Friedrich Merz statement and about the consequences of such statement. 

Friedrich Merz took such decision not as a NATO member. This was not a NATO decision. It was Germany´s decision, but it is a far reaching decision that will undermine Europe. I would say that such decision is not supported by Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Article 5 refers to defense, not offense. 

Now, Chancellor Merz sent a Panzer group to Lithuania, a country that is pretty close to the Russian Federation. It is easy to see that if there is war between the Russian Federation and Germany then German forces in Lithuania will be targetted. 

We have not seen any reactions from other European countries. Do other countries want to be involved in an all out war? Like Angela Merkel, Friedrich Merz had no consultations with other European countries regarding the statement that he just made. Is this a German thing? i.e. making decisions that will affect everybody else, without even asking what other people in the European Union think about it?

This confirms my belief that Britain´s exit from the European Union was a very good thing. I also believe that dismantling NATO would be the next good thing. Why? Because one country can create a disaster for everybody else. So, if Germany wants war with the Russian Federation, Germany alone can pay the price of such a disastrous decision.

The Third Reich (Das Dritte Reich) was never defeated

 

The Third Reich (Das Dritte Reich) was never defeated

For decades, we have been told a story and people all over the world have been celebrating the victory over Das Dritte Reich. We have been shown the images of a ravaged Germany, of concentration camps, everthing that fits in in the narrative that tells the world about the catastrophic end at the end of World War Two.


How much of that has been a charade, a way to ignore what actually happened? As always, you must follow the monies. Britain is constantly reminded about the Blitz, when British cities were showered with V1 and V2 bombs. You are shown the images of burning buildings and are told about the thousands of victims of the Blitz. Ordinary people, understandably, get very emotional about it. But, just a few years later, decisions were made that made a mockery of the suffering of those who were burnt live or suffocated or well kill by debris and of those who had to lament their passing.

So lets talk about history. When were the flying bombs known as V1 and V2 used against Britain? Well, here is the answer: The V1 bombs were used from June 13, 1944 until March 29 1945. The V2 were used from September 1944 until March 27 1945.

What happened to the German team that designed the bombs? Well, Wernher von Braun and his team went to work in the USA, became American citizens (all of them or some of them) and helped advance American technology and helped the USA start its Space Project.

In fact, the war was still ongoing when special teams were tasked to find German scientists, to rewrite their biographies (to make them respectable and to delete any bit of data that could become an embarrassment). 

The real history of World War Two might never be written to replace the fake history being taught around the world. Americans, British, French and Russians will want to maintain the belief that Adolf Hitler actually died in a bunker in Berlin. 

Such a belief is very much part of the narrative that has been repeated over and over again. So they will tell that those called Nazis are the bad guys, but they will be pretty embarrassed to accept that most of the surviving bad guys helped promote American interests around the world. Even more, one of Adolf Hitler´s personal bodyguards went to work in Argentina protecting Juan Domingo Peron and Eva Peron and when Juan Domingo Peron was deposed in a coup then Otto Johann Anton Skorzeny was employed by Israeli security services. Incidentally, Otto Johann Anton Skorzeny, a Waffen SS Officer was the man that rescued Benito Mussolini.

They do not want you to know that U Boots loaded with gold and other precious metals, diamonds, money and people were arriving in Argentina all the way up to the time when Juan Domingo Peron was deposed in a coup lead by the Argentinian Navy. They do not want you to know either that The Vatican and the Red Cross facilitaded free passage to Latin America for SS officers. A change of name and/or a change of "nationality" and there you were, travelling free and without any worries, ready to start a new life in countries like Argentina, Urugua, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile and elsewhere.

And the following is a story, especially prepared for you. 

This is a copy of the Uruguayan marriage certificate of Josef Mengele. Josef Mengele, who originally travelled to Argentina where he prospered as a businessman, married the widow of his brother in the Province of Colonia, in Uruguay, using his real name. Here is your homework. Find out who Josef Mengele was. 

His presence was known by Britain, USA, and other countries and they knew full well the role he played during World War Two and never bothered him. Josef Mengele died at the beach in Brazil due to heart problems. With full knowledge of Western German authorities he travelled to Germany after World and later returned to Latin America. His movements could not be more public.

I was about 21 years old when Josef Mengele died at a beach in Brazil, on February 7th 1979. My father was a pilot and he often travelled alone to Brazil, but he always kept his movements secret. Shall I add that among my first toys there was a Stuka Dive Bomber that my father gave me. My father knew chemical formulae by heart and had the then typical Deutsche Punktlichkeit. He used to make people laugh when it was found that other people used to check their watches when my father arrived to see if their watches were on time. My father was for a time President of the two main social clubs of the town, clubs that did not welcome non whites. During a storm with very strong winds the ceiling of a neighbour´s house that happened to be Jewish was blown away. My mother often referred to my father´s reaction when that happened: "He was standing on the streets, laughing, applauding and celebrating his neigbour´s misfortune".

But the story goes on and it becomes more interesting. In June 1973, there was a military coup in Uruguay, followed by a military coup in Chile in September 1973. Days before the coup in Chile, my father and I attended a meeting of military officers in Uruguay. My father had a very good relationship with the military. At that meeting, it was announced that a military coup was going to happen in Chile.

And the story becomes ever more interesting. We come to Track II, a CIA operation organised to depose President Salvador Allende and Henry Kissinger had active participation in it, involving in it SS and Gestapo Officers in Latin America in what later known as Operacion Condor. Henry Kissinger was obsessed with Chile and had even tried to prevent Salvador Allende from becoming Chilean President. Having failed to prevent Salvador Allende from becoming Chilean President, he decided to kill President Allende. But things did not stop. They went on. As part of the US called the South Atlantic Strategic Defensive Triangle, the USA - under Henry Kissinger direction - allowed the use of any means possible, including assassination and torture to carry out an ideological war. The USA trained military officers of the military regimes in Latin America to fight against, capture, torture, rape and kill ten of thousands of people. CIA officers were sent to Latin America to assist with "interrogation techniques". In Argentina, more than 30,000 were killed and many of them were thrown from airplaes flying at high altitude, drugged after being tortured. It is presumed that they died during the fall, death provoked by air pressure, before their bodies collided with the surface of the sea that for those falling from high altitude had the consistency of hard rock. We can go to Chile, Paraguay, Bolivia and other countries where similar accounts can be found. Bolivia is a particularly interesting chapter since the Butcher of Lyon, Klaus Barbie, was employed by the USA. But there were other significative places like Colonia Dignidad in Chile. Do you know who Klaus Barbie was? Do your homework.

Now, lets rewind a little. By 1942, it became evident that Unternehmen Barbarossa was not going well. German forces were not in good shape when the first Russian Winter arrived. The chain of supplies was much too thin and the Luftwaffe having lost much of its capacity in the West was not capable of providing German forces in the Eastern Front what German forces needed. German forces had tried unsuccessfully to capture Stalingrad. First, the city was bombed and left in ruins. This itself made the German advance more difficult as the ruins of the city became its defenders´ major asset. (July 17 1942 - February 2, 1943)

General Paulus army were increasingle isolated and surrounded be enemies that sooner than later managed to totally encircle his army. By then it was obvious that Germany did not have what it took to take the city, let alone the Soviet Union. So concerned capitalists and industrialists in Germany were justifiably worried about what would happen to their assets if Germany lost the war. A high ranking meeting was called to talk about what could be done to protect German assets. The assets were not lost even when Germany was said to have been defeated. Moreover, the Americans used the Gold they captured in what is known as the Marshall Plan. Soonafter the war, Germany prospered as German capitals that had remained hidden started to flow again, legally, in Germany and elsewhere.

So lets rewind a bit more. When he realised that the war was lost, Adolf Hitler prophesized that there would be a new Germany, a stronger Germany, after a confrontation between the USA and the Soviet Union (now Russian Federation, after the fall of the Soviet Union).

Now, lets see what is happening now. Relatively recent events in Europe are promoting German Rearmament (No Versailles Treaty on the horizon). Friedrich Merz was seen gloating and boasting about "the German Armed Forces will be the biggest in Europe". Compared to other countries, Germany is relatively stronger both economically and militarily. Germany no longer needs to justify its military strength as other countries are extremely happy to promote German rearmament "for the common good". And significative events are happening all the time. Now, a force of 4500 troops, part of Panzer Group, will be stationed in Lithuania. Never mind the numbers. The importance of such deployment is that it leaves behind postwar military and political limitations regarding the deployment of German fighting forces outside Germany. Moreover, the conflict in Ukraine has allowed German industry to test the efficacity of German weapons. Ukraine, like Spain before Ukraine (The Spanish Civil War) provides valuable knowledge about how effective German weapons are. Until now, German weapons were in the hands of Ukrainians. From now on, German weapons will be in the hands of German troops that will be especially trained to use them.

And who stands to benefit from German rearmament? Well, geopolitical changes will lead to Germany producing its own weapons, instead of importing them from somewhere else i.e USA. While other European countries will still be buying weapons "off the shelves", Germany will empower its own defense industries. Something that might not be ignored is the possibility that American forces will leave Germany and that Germany will have total control of any forces in its territory.

So, coming back to the beginning, the idea that Germany was totally defeated during World War Two contrasts with the fact that there was a continuity that is becoming ever more apparent. World War Two was just a battle.

USA: Deal for Ukrainian Minerals

 

USA: Deal for Ukrainian Minerals

Why is a piece of land important? Land is a resource. It could be fertile land for farming. It could be strategic land allowing free passage. It could be many things but there has to be a value attached to it. For Ukraine it means surrendering mining that from now it will be exploited for the benefit of the USA and of American companies.

In 1973, the USA destroyed President Salvador Allende in Chile. Why? President Allende dared to nationalize Chilean copper mines that were American owned. This time, Ukraine has surrendered its mines to American interests willingly.

Now, what does it mean in the context of a military conflict? If some of the resources are in territories that are now a battlefield, the deal is only worth the papers used to sign the deal. The sides in the conflict will have to reach an agreement and if there is a territorial deal and the resources are not on land controlled by Ukraine, the deal is basically worthless. Therefore, we are dealing with non reality. Melodramatic, but not Reality, as real as works of fiction.

So, if more weapons are provided to Ukraine, the war will not stop and it does not give the Russian Federation any reason to stop fighting. Quite the opposite. It will reinforce the determination of the Russian Federation to continue fighting. On top of the human conflict of having to protect ethnic Russians, it adds the economic argument to prevent the enemy from controlling vital resources for industries.

In the present context, the deal is a Death Sentence for Ukraine.

As always, Europeans create wars and US lives are spent to rescue them

 

Europeans created wars and US had to intervene to rescue them. World War One? World War Two? 

How many of those protesting on the streets will be willing to join the Armed Forces to go and die?

So, now the new American government is telling them that the US is not willing to engage in WWIII.

Suddendly, quite a few warmongers will fall quiet. How was the Good Friday Agreement negotiated? How was the Camp David Agreement between Egypt and Israel negotiated? You need to talk to the sides involved in the conflict. Politicians and media want you to believe a lie and accuse US of selling out when it fact all US is trying to is to bring the sides to the negotiating table.

I have got many reasons to criticize the US, but the intention to bring the parties together to end the war is not one of them. Dealing with reality is the best thing that anyone can do. The longer the conflict goes on the greater the chances of having a catastrophe in Europe.

This might have something to do with American reluctance to follow warmongering politicians

 

The Ursula von der Leyen, the David Lammys, or the GrĂ¼ne Leader Annalena Baerbocks of the world, might want a Europe-wide war, once again, but understandably President Donald Trump and those who support him do not want yet another European War because they know what the USA lost in terms of human lives left on the battlefield.

So the US does not want the maniacs to run the asylum. The idiots do not understand either that in order to put an end to a conflict you need to talk to those seen as your adversaries, the parties in the conflict. All the warmongering European politicians have done is to make matters a lot worse. After hundreds of thousands went to the slaughter, they want that more people go the slaughter. Do not talk, they say. Keep the war going, they say. 

I have no way of knowing how the German electorate will vote on Sunday. I do hope that they vote for those who want to maintain rationality, for those who are against keeping to war going for, if the war keeps going, sooner than later we will have a European-wide War in Europe.

Keir Starmer´s idea about sending peacekeepers to Ukraine has not gone down well

 

Keir Starmer´s idea about sending troops to Ukraine as peacekeepers did not go down well, and Chancellor Olaf Scholz made an early exit from the gathering in France, saying that it was extremely premature to talk about sending troops anywhere before any peace settlement had been agreed.

But this was not all, for obvious reasons, Germany does not want to send troops anywhere in Europe when there is even the slightest possibility of a conflict of major proportions. Given the perception that the Russian Federation might send a big number of troops via Belarus, that could threaten Polish borders and seize Kiev in no time, Poland does not think either that this could be a good idea. Spain under General Franco did not get involved in World War Two. There is no appetite whatsoever for any involvement. 

For the moment and in the foreseeable future, there will be no EU participation in any negotiation. USA and the Russian Federation are the only two players involved and statements made by Volodomir Zelensky that no peace agreement would be possible without Ukraine´s participation and calls for the formation of an EU Army have little weight. In the end, if Ukraine were to reject a settlement agreed by the USA and the Russian Federation, USA could unilaterally decide to cease military and financial support. At this point in time, many EU countries that happen to be members of NATO might be thinking about the possibility of a reduction of American military presence in Europe.

US: NATO countries that send troops to Ukraine will not be protected by Article 5


For decades, the USA has been used and abused bz countries that have consistently cut down defense expenditure, expecting American soldiers to protect them, instead of building up their own defense capabilities. The US Secretary of Defense made it clear that countries will no longer be expected to invest 2 per cent but 5 per cent of their national budgets, to beef up their own military industries and Armed Forces.

With regards to Ukraine, he told NATO members and politicians that the way forward is peace with realism. Ukraine´s previous borders will not be restored and territorial concessions will have to be made. Ukraine will not be a NATO Member and any force, including European Forces and Non European Forces will not be protected by Article 5 if they enter Ukraine.

USA must give prioritz to the defense of its own borders and other threats in the Asia Pacific Region.

EU heats up: Olaf Scholz urgent travel to the Russian Federation

 

EU heats up: Olaf Scholz urgent travel to the Russian Federation

The announcement by Ukraine that it would halt vital supplies to the European Union prompted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urgent trip to the Russian Federation.

Energy has been the key for the survival of the European Union and most importantly for the most important country of the European Union, the Federal Republic of Germany. Without energy, German manufacturing strength and support of its political system are in doubt. 

Germany faces a Federal Election in a few weeks time and the financial and industrial outcome is not brilliant. In the words of Alexander Gauland, co-founder of Alternative fĂ¼r Deutschland - the worse the situation becomes, the better for Alternative fĂ¼r Deutschland - and things are getting pretty bad. Ukraine is threatening the survival of the European Union. To make matters worse, an attack perpetrated today in Germany caused the death of several people and more than a 100 people were injured. It  does not play well in German politics when migration is one of the hottest topics.

As President Bill Clinton stated, 'it is the economy, stupid'. The German economy, its political stability, migration and geopolitical games are part of the same package.

The assertion that Alternative fĂ¼r Deutschland is the only political party that can save Germany did not go well with the usual culprits of the so called mainstream political parties that are used to win elections lying about those who challenge a disastrous status quo.

Angela Merkel started the debacle when she panicked and decided to get rid of nuclear power making Germany practically entirely dependent on foreign energy imports. The now former coalition headed by Olaf Scholz did the rest by associating itself with a warmongering movement that compromised vital energy supplies. No nuclear power, no oil, no gas. What could go wrong?

Olaf Scholz knows full well that energy shortages will be politically disastrous for so called mainstream political parties that do not protect fundamental German interests. Olaf Scholz knows in what could be the last days of his political career as German Chancellor that there are even greater risks that could lead to the disintegration of the European Union. There are conflicting interests within the European Union and this could well push countries to secede to follow their own paths. The promised Paradise looks increasingle like Hell on Earth.

January 20th 2025: Let's Hope that Joe Biden does not start World War Three

Let's Hope that Joe Biden does not start World War Three

We are almost two months away from the inauguration of a new USA President and there are reasons to be concerned when Joe Biden authorised the use of long range weapons against the Russian Federation. 

The Russian Federation acted with extreme caution knowing that in two months time, Joe Biden will no longer be around. The use of intercontinental ballistic missiles against Kiev show that the capability exists to wipe out Kiev in a single move. The payload might be conventional but this is something that not even the USA and others with all their technology can prevent. The technology to prevent an attack with such missiles does not exist.

London is merely 15 minutes away from a nuclear catastrophe. The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer knows that. Paris and Berlin are even closer to a Nuclear Holocaust. Only the Russian Federation's rational and measured approach has prevented World War Three, but I reckon this is the last call. 

Whoever cut submarine communication cables is preparing for war. China has not been practising about how to destroy satellites without a plan and is preparing for the worst case scenario. A world without communication satellites is a world that will go back decades. Nowadays, everything depends on either communication satellites or submarine cables. Without advanced communication systems, the economy will be the first critical casualty and with it will go any sense of political stability. This goes beyond hacking, when there will be nothing left to hack.

The financial losses without advanced communication systems will be catastrophic in every possible sense. Somebody said that should the Gulf Stream cease to exist this would trigger a new Ice Age. The losses will be not less dramatic.  An entire way of life will be wiped out.

Nuclear sites will be immediately targeted and no one knows for certain what would happen when silos containing vast amounts of nuclear weapons are hit. One can only imagine the dimension, what happens when ammunition depots are hit. Although in this the case, the ammunition will not be conventional ammunition, but hydrogen bombs.

Britain is building depots for nuclear weapons in at least three locations in the United Kingdom. Should any of those depots be hit, Britain as we know it will no longer exist.

Here came the budget: Main target NHS and Second target the economy and particularly interest rates and growth.

The general thinking is that the Labour government will inflict pain earlier with the hope that near the next General Election the numbers will be much better to produce good feelings amongst voters. But this is a gamble by a government that publicly stated that if they had not inherited interest rates that were already going down the present announcements about borrowing could not have been made. 

Everything is based on the presumption that the economy will improve, that interest rates will go down and that repaying the borrowing will become easier. Another factor is promised improvements of the NHS. If the economy does not improve and if improvements promised regarding the NHS are not delivered then this would be a double political wammy that could bring down the present government at the next General Election.

The hope is that no crise like the Covid Pandemic or the energy crise generated by sanctions implemented against the Russian Federation or anything of the sort happens from now until the next General Election. Anything that would require much more borrowing and generate emergency conditions, negatively affecting. the economy, is not welcome. 

Et ceteris paribus? All other things being equal? Expecting that nothing will happen along the way that could change or derail present plans is a very negligent attitude. Things are bound to change. There are crucial ongoing conflicts and the seeds for more conflicts are being planted.

Now, lets have a look at potential trading partners. What is the situation in Europe? What is the situation in the Americas? What is the situation in Africa and Oceania? What is the situation regarding new players that are rising and increasing mutual cooperation?

The belief that new global associations will remain focused on the East and will not spread towards the West is extremely naive. We now live not in a bipolar world. We live in a multipolar world. In which direction the Americas, Africa, and Oceania will go is not a given. But present trends indicate that BRICS is making inroads. Those joining BRICS happen to be the most populous countries in the world. They also happen to be those which tend to have more resources in terms of raw materials. 

Founding countries? Russian Federation, China, India and Brazil. While the main Western countries have been involved in a rising number of conflicts, China has been spreading financially and economically across key regions of the world. The impopularity of the Western approach when dealing with conflicts is spreading and such impopularity does not benefit Western countries. China has not been involved in any major conflict. In fact, it is gathering more and more influence in countries that are far away from China.

Israel vs Iran: is this the real show?

 Is Israel versus Iran the real show?

We hear the news and see mass media flooded with articles about the dangers of widespread war in the Middle East and Asia Minor. We hear the news about North Koreans joining the fight in Ukraine. It is difficult to ascertain the real dimension of what we have been told. 

The real issue of widespred war in the Middle East and Asia Minor are not Israel or Iran, for that matter. The real issue are the vast amounts of oil and gas spread across the entire region. Kuwair, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and so forth. If the Middle East and Asia Minor were to go up in smoke this will be a catastrophe for the world economy as a whole and there would be massive political consequences.

Both Israel and Iran have to play according to the rules. The United States of America might care about Iran, but the USA cares more about money and as long as money is being made the lives of hundreds of thousands don't matter at all, but the monies being made by shareholders matter more than human lives.

As long as the business of war keeps going and does not get out of control threatening the value of shares it is business as usual. Don't attack nuclear facilities! Don't attack oil reserves! Don't do anything that could ruin the business of war. Both Israel and Iran have to play for their own public and therefore they have to do something to prove that they are doing something.

We are dealing with Jews that do not give a damn about Jews, people for whom their own people matter very little as long as they get what they want. We are dealing with the Bernie Madoffs of geopolitics. Benjamin Netanyahu is a Bernie Madoff of geopolitics. The massacres carried out by Israel will continue. Israel has a license to kill as long as the business of war goes on as usual and monies are being made, but the Bernie Madoff also know that there are limitations. When Iran threatens to attack all those who help Israel there are direct references to oil and gas countries in the region. So any action against Iran has to be limited not to push Iran to attack the real targets in the Middle East and Asia Minor. We know how things are now under the present US Administration and I reckon that things will not change dramatically under a new US Administration because the interests are the same and the people actually running the circus are the same.

With regards to North Korea, I reckon that Ukraine is for North Korea what the Spain's Civil War was for the Wehrmacht: a training ground. North Korea has been in isolation and has not had any opporunity to test its Army in real battles. Although the number of North Korean troops is minimal, Ukraine can provide valuable opportunities. It also sends the message of unity: boys, we are all in it together. Military cooperation at every level. About 3,000 North Korean troops will not make any major difference in the conduct of the war, from a Russian standpoint as the Russian Federation has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops.

Much of what Western politicians say is no more than chit chat, a propaganda effort to justify the existence of people who are absolutely irrelevant. NATO is a business to keep money rolling in for shareholders. Any monies that go into the pockets of shareholders are not monies that serve the general public. They are not invested in health, education, transport, infra-structure and so forth. The most important problems remain forever unsolved and this is why we have got the problems that we have got with more and more people facing miserable lives.

Austria: Now it is Freedom Party's turn with about 30% of the vote

 

So called mainstream politicians and political parties keep their heads buried in the sand and plough ahead with policies that ordinary voters reject, to the point of lying to voters to win elections.

One typical example is the talk about migration. People are increasingly fed up with what they call an invasion and when so called maintream politicians don't listen then they vote for political parties like the Freedom Party of Austria.

This is the natural consequence because more and more people no longer trust mainstream political parties that want to continue flooding Europe with migrants and want to fight a European War. Who are the warmongers? A typical example is the Green Party in Germany. The Green Party is bent on engaging Europe in Nuclear War, not that nuclear war will benefit the environment. Anyone who opposes warmongering ends up being called a Fascist or a Traitor.

The Freedom Party stands againt migrantion and the Freedom Party is against War. Therefore, it does not surprise that policians and mass media that have prostituted themselves to promote criminal wars immediately went on the offensive attacking those who are against war.

Alternative for Germany - Is there an Alternative for Germany?

 

Is there an Alternative for Germany?

When the ruling SPD barely gets about 5% and his partners in the ruling coalition - Greens and FDP - get even less in state elections in Germany, something surely must change. Next stop? Brandenburg. If a disaster of the scale of what happened in Thuringen and Saxony also happens in Brandenburg then the ruling coalition must surely question its own future.

SPD and CDU quickly reacted proposing a ban on migration from two countries after lamentable events, but this did not seem to be enough to persuade voters to support the ruling coalition. In Thuringen, AfD got more votes than CDU and in Saxony the difference in favour of CDU was minimal compared to the level of support for AfD.

With Federal Elections around the corner, surely this is something to very much worry about. Geopolitical issues are dividing Germany, but internal issues seem to be equally divisive.

Immigration is being rejected by both sides of the political spectrum. A rising movement of the left is also anti-immigration.

The question is: have voters from both left and right of the political spectrum had enough of open borders? Let's remember that the official stance has been to punish Hungary for its reluctance to accept open borders. This beggars the question: are so called mainstream political parties out of tune? 

If they try to swim against the tide they will continue loosing support. SPD has even tried to ban Alternative fĂ¼r Deutchland. What will the argument in favour of banning Alternative fĂ¼r Deutschland? They got more than 30% of support and we got less than 6% and therefore we need to ban them because they are winning against us?

The Greens are the loudest party in favour of war in Europe. Do the Greens understand that their policies and stances are not supported by a vast number of German voters who have had enough of warmongers?

Big mouth Western politicians are leading Europe towards an unprecedented catastrophy.


The report coming from the Russian Federation and given what Emmanuel Macron and David Cameron and others have said speaks for itself. If anybody threatens the Russian Federation, the Russian Federation will react decisively and nuclear exercises are in full swing.

In Memoriam: Investigation reveals that using AI Israeli forces targetted 37,000 people, knowing that most of them were innocent

 

Aid workers were not targetted by accident. It was a deliberate attack against aid workers. The Israeli government is also attacking diplomatic personnel and bombing embassies.

Environmental measures are a national security liability

Limiting options in terms of the energy mix makes countries weaker when it comes to defending themselves in case of war. This statement has proven to be true not once, but many times. In fact, blockades have been about reducing energy options to defeat your enemy. Energy sources are a prime target when conflict arises.

Bombing oil installations, energy plants and hydroelectric facilities is about depriving your enemy of the energy that it needs to carry on fighting. This is why Green policies are a threat to National Security. Proponents of green alternatives have in mind the idea of protecting eco systems and preserving the environment for future generations. Unfortunately, such alternatives come with a huge price tag in times of political and geopolitical uncertainty.

When Germany was deprived of oil during World War Two, the country had to reach for alternatives to produce the energy needed to keep itself going and to meet the needs of war. Airplanes, tanks, ships, trucks and everything imaginable that needs to be fuelled could not possibly be kept running without fossil fuels and therefore Germany had to create something that resembled oil.

Britain also knew the price of not having oil. The number of ships that went down trying to keep Britain provided of essentials is a reminder of the fact that the country needed reliable and sufficient amount of energy not to face defeat.

Political statements about geopolitics and environmental policies travel in opposite directions. You can try to protect the environment by weakening your country, making your country extremeluy vulnerable because of lack of reliable and sufficient energy sources.

War Readiness: Where is the money? Where is the infra-structure?

The debate in the House of Commons about Britain's readiness to go to war with few of the theoretical 650 MPs in attendance was quite elighhtening about the real state of the British Armed Forces. Britain is spending 2.1% of its budget in Defense and given the present situation in terms of being really and trully ready for any massive conflict, the amount to be spent would be not less than 15% and this includes cutting down the budget for health, education and other areas of the British budget. To put it mildly, it would be really and truly impossible.

So all the statements made by the British Prime Minister and other Members of the Cabinet are a lot of hot air, a pretense that is not based on real possibilities.

George Galloway and the SNP told things as they are. The total number of members of the Armed Forces could be put in Wembley Stadium. Britain has no real war industries. The Armed Forces are not only facing a recruitment crisis generated in part by British foreign policy, but also by the way Britain treats those who dare to become members of the Armed Forces.

Unfortunately, such a debate did not make headlines for the BBC, Sky News or any other mass media that keep broadcasting incessantly the pretense statements made by the Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for Defense and others. Nobody is asking questions that should be asked in the country as whole. At times, it feels like very few people care about it.

The perception of war is different from reality

 The Perception of War is different from Reality

Throughout history, the outcome of wars has been reported as victories and defeat, conquests, and so forth, but the reality of war has escaped proper consideration.

Even in victory there has been a price to pay to win. For those who were tragically injured or killed there is no victory. There is also no defeat. It is the end of their lives. There is no recovery. Even if they survive, life will no longer be what it was.

Warmongers will not often suffer the consequences of what they have instigated. For warmongers, the lives of those they see as enemies don't count, but the lives of those they pretend to be close to don't count either. It is just a matter of numbers. As long as they can claim victory and even if as consequence of their acts there is defeat, they will go around living their lives happily ever after while both presumed foes and presumed friends will suffer dire consequences.

When we see or hear reports about tens of thousands of people dead or injured, names don't count because it would be time consuming or even impossible to determine the identities of those who have lost their lives. The pulverised buildings of what used to be a living city cannot possibly reflect the full story of the tragedy that has occurred.

Ukraine: USA and Germany are putting pressure on Zelenski to end war

Ukraine: USA and Germany are putting pressure on Zelenski to end war

As recent Ukrainian actions risk bringing general mobilization in the Russian Federation, both the USA and Germany are putting pressure on Zelenski to end war before the Rubicon is crossed. The Russian Federation has been controlling itself and avoiding direct attacks against Kiev, but with the arrival of winter, this is about to change. It has been national policy of the Russian Federation not to attack government buildings in Kiev, but Zelenski's actions could lead to an all-out assault against the Ukrainian capital by land and air.

In the last 48 hours, drones have rained over Kiev and this could be the prelude to an air assault against Kiev. We are in 2023, not in 1939. In 1939, the Luftwaffe launched a deadly attack against Warsaw with much more limited capabilities. Politicians in the Russian Federation have been campaigning for a nuclear attack against Kiev. Short of a nuclear attack, a massive air assault could see one of the cultural capital of Europe demolished.

As General Winter comes, telecommunications, energy supplies and general transportation by land and see will be targetted - the kind of warfare that brought down the Third Reich. No fuel, no electricity, no gas, no water, no food, no communications and total devastation of urban areas of Ukraine.

Argentina's difficult political balance, Mercosur and trade alliances beyond Latin America

With three digit inflation rates and decades of stagnation, forty years of democracy could mean absolutely nothing. In an election in which there were record numbers of voters, the incoming President Javier Milei got outstanding support accross the entire country with equally record numbers of provinces that came out to support him. 

It is not going to be an easy task. In fact, in Parliament opposition forces still have a commanding majority that could block every single attempt to change Argentinian politics and economics. The risk is that if more than 13 million voters that supported Javier Milei come to see Parliament as a sedicious force that stands on the way preventing changes then Parliament itself will be in trouble. Could government by decree become an alternative from the very beginning?

Argentinian Constitution extract

CHAPTER III Powers of the Executive Branch Section 99.- The President of the Nation has the following powers: 1.- He is the supreme head of the Nation, head of the government and he is politically responsible for the general administration of the country. 2.- He issues the instructions and rules necessary for the enforcement of the 16 laws of the nation, without altering their spirit with regulatory exceptions. 3.- He takes part in the making of laws according to the Constitution, promulgates them and has them published. The Executive Power shall in no event issue provisions of legislative nature, in which case they shall be absolutely and irreparably null and void. Only when due to exceptional circumstances the ordinary procedures foreseen by this Constitution for the enactment of laws are impossible to be followed, and when rules are not referred to criminal issues, taxation, electoral matters, or the system of political parties, he shall issue decrees on grounds of necessity and urgency, which shall be decided by a general agreement of ministers who shall countersign them together with the Chief of the Ministerial Cabinet.

The Constitution seems to indicate that only in exceptional circumstances the President can issue decrees and that 'The Executive Power shall in no event issue provisions of legislative nature, in wichi case they shall be absolutely and irreparably null and void.'. 

It is explicitly clear that the last and final word on legislative matters lies in Parliament and it is a Parliament in which the political party supporting the President directly will have 38 representatives in the House of Reprentatives of a total of 257 and in the Senate the number of Senators directly supporting the President will be 6 out of 72. Unavoidably, the President will have to seek support of other political parties to be able to pass any bills.

Given these numbers, all the scaremongering promoted by opponents of Javier Milei is totally unjustified. It is most probable that Mauricio Macri (Former President) and Patricia Bullrich (Former Minister under Mauricio Macri) of Juntos por el Cambio (Together for Change) will have a major say. 

The bone of contention will be that Javier Milei's electoral allies will have the seats that Javier Milei needs to govern and Javier Milei will be able to say that despite not having enough seats he has the popular mandate and that people supported his electoral platform.

If the President can manage to transform an electoral coalition into a governing coalition then there will be a peaceful working political transition. If the President does not manage to transform an electoral coaliton into a governing coalition then there will be political upheaval leading to dangerous political uncertainties.

In Uruguay, there are divisions in terms of supporting or not supporting Javier Milei. For example, Frente Amplio (Broadfront) in opposition was more inclined to support the losing candidate Sergio Massa. In Brazil, President Lula came openly in support of Sergio Massa. Javier Milei for starters indicated that he wanted to get rid of Mercosur - something he might not achieve given the fact that he will be effectively in coalition with Mauricio Macri and Patricia Bullrich.

Uruguay has expressed that it wants ever closer trade relations with China, independently of its membership of Mercosur. Argentina itself has plans to incorporate Chinese communications technology. Brazil is seeking a new alignement having become a supporter of new trade arrangements that will bring the country closer to economies linked to the Russian Federation and China.

In spite of the fact that there are other Latin American economies linked to Mercosur, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay are the core of the trading block.
