When the only thing in front of us is nuclear destruction
When the only thing in front of us is nuclear desctruction
Ralph Tiesler, the head of the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK), said Europe’s largest economy needed to wake up to the reality of conflict, and that in its current state Germany was inadequately prepared.
“For a long time, there was a widespread belief in Germany that war was not a scenario for which we needed to prepare. That has changed. We are concerned about the risk of a major war of aggression in Europe,” he told the Süddeutsche Zeitung news outlet.
Tiesler called for a national effort to pinpoint and turn tunnels, metro stations, underground garages, car parks and the cellars of public buildings into protective shelters to “quickly create space for 1 million people”. He said his agency will present a comprehensive plan later this summer.
He added that the country was in a race against time, and to rely on the construction of new bunker facilities was insufficient. Such shelters would take a long time to plan and construct and be very costly, Tiesler said. As a result, existing structures needed to be closely considered more immediately.
Capacity for a million people? Germany has about 90 million people. I guess President Trump, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and others will have a difficult time telling their fellow citizens that in the event of nuclear war they are all going to die because there is no provision of accommodation capable of withstanding a nuclear impact and the aftermath of a nuclear impact.
When you hear so many politicians and informed individuals willing to send troops to a battlefield with the knowledge that it will trigger nuclear war......

The Third Reich (Das Dritte Reich) was never defeated
The Third Reich (Das Dritte Reich) was never defeated
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.

Sun Tzu Unpredictability characterizes President Trump´s Tactics and something major might be about to happen
Israel was created to play a role in the Middle East as a tool for the United States and other Western Countries to keep an eye on the Arab World.
Having said that, Israel like Saddam Hussein and General Noriega and many others, has gone rogue. Israel will exist as a partner as long as a more suitable partner is not found. Now, this is about to change.
Israel is dividing NATO partners. France and Spain, in particular, have become extremely critical of the genocidal behaviour of Israel in Palestine and elsewhere. Israel no longer responds to the designs of Western countries that created Israel. Israel like Iraq was not meant to be what Israel has become. For the most part, Israel is not genetically nor ethnically Jewish. The romantic notion that Jews were coming back to the land of their elders is a fake created in Europe. Mostly converts took over a portion of Palestine in 1948 and expansion started. Bit by bit, they started to add neighbouring territories and to occupy neighbouring countries. In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler says "if you can take it and keep it, it is yours". Following Adolf Hitler´s logic, Israel has been expanding and expanding ever more. Mein Kampf and the policies of destruction, ethnic expansion and ethnic cleasing implementing genocidal policies of mass bombardment and starvation are the policies of Israel.
This is Palestine after bombing carried out by Israel. No, it is not Hiroshima or Nagasaki, it is Palestine or what is left of it. You can guess what happened to the people who lived in those towns. But how much is too much? The winds might be about to blow in a different direction. Truce with Houthis? Saudi Arabia as the most important partner in Middle East? Well, when both Spain and France are speaking louder and louder about the mass murder campaign and now starvation campaign carried out by Israel. Well, even the Vietnam War, one of the longest wars of the Twentieth Century came to an end and governments fell as a consequence of it. The US would no longer be what the US was. Mentalities changed. The US, that was the main perpetrator of the most unbelievable atrocities after World War Two, itself suffer the impact of what had been done in Vietnam.
Benjamin Netanyahu is an indicted criminal that is running away from Israeli Courts. He knows that his survival depends on the continuation of a genocidal war. He has brutalised Israeli peoples, many of whom are themselves behaving like genocidal maniacs. To sum it up, Benjamin Netanyahu´s policies are killing Jews, destroying essential human values, turning Israelis into social mutants that are losing their human nature.

Unconditional Surrender: Lessons from World War Two
The words Unconditional Surrender bring echoes of World War Two to the present conflict in Ukraine. After the Battle of Kursk, the greatest tank battle in Human History, Germany knew that it would be all the way to Berlin.
It dawning on EU Leaders and UK Leaders that as a long as the battle goes on there will be no ceasefire and this is why they now understand that unless a permanent solution is found before forces of the Russian Federation reach Kiev there will be nothing left to negotiate. EU or UK could hardly stand as "peacekeepers" when they have been supporting one of the sides in the conflict against the Russian Federation.
Macron and Starmer should be under no illusion. This is why after making extraordinary statements they will be on their way to Washington. They very well know that France, Britain and others are fully unprepared at a time when they are facing extraordinary national challenges. Britain has no Independent Nuclear Deterrent. Without US support, Trident is finished. Without American aircraft, the Royal Navy has no jets for its newest aircraft carriers. No one has nearly enough the number of enlisted men and women to face any serious challenge. They can kick and scream against the USA, but they know that without the USA, EU and UK are finished. So back to the USA, to mend relations with the USA. Lord Mandelson was criticized for saying that UK should implement President Trump´s Plan for Peace. Now, France, UK and Ukraine go to kneel down in Washington and to accept terms of engagement.

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.

Geopolitics or Magnified National Politics: The effects are already strongly felt
This is more than Ukraine. This is an earthquake and the waves are spreading. In the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer had to turn around and deal with foreign aid, in the very same way President Trump decided to deal with foreign aid. This is a new world, Keir Starmer said.
Well, Keir Starmer should stop criticizing President Trump and listen and act accordingly. If you want to invest in defense, you must deal with budgets and waste. The Health Secretary is himself dealing with waste and cutting down redundant expenses in the National Health Service and pretty soon every cabinet minister will be asked to do exactly the same. Budgets will be cut in other areas to ensure that there are enough resources to invest in defense.
In France, in Germany and in every country associated with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation will be doing the same and political parties will struggle to deal with financial stress with dramatic political consequences. Butter or Cannons, stated Paul Samuelson. That has not changed.
Like or not, Environmentalists will be put aside. Those seeking improvements in Health, Education, Transport and other vital areas will be put aside. The emphasis is now on Defense. What are the resources for war? Those are the resources that are going to become crucially important. Societal changes will occur to reverse what has been happening for decades. Woke will be dead and replaced with traditional realism. It will be a no nonsense approach.

This might have something to do with American reluctance to follow warmongering politicians
The Ursula von der Leyen, the David Lammys, or the Grüne 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.

4 Days to go: 20 January 2025
Whether the Knesset ratifies any ceasefire remains to be seen. President Biden wanted to close his time in office with some big news, but premeditated Jewish delays are already threatening the supposed ceasefire deal as 70 Palestinians are murdered by Israel in the last few hours.
Everybody is expecting big changes in national and international politics. Panama Canal built by USA to be controlled by USA. Another USA State or more than one new USA States? And when you talk about the Gulf, it might not be about Middle East or Asia Minor but closer to home as the Gulf of Mexico becomes the Gulf of America.
Will Keir Starmer, Zelensky and Ursula von der Leyen be invited to the inauguration of the new American President? Another bit of 'let's wait and see'. Will the now British Foreign Secretary that has repeatedly insulted President Donald Trump be invited to the ceremonial and very formal occasion?
We know that happened to Governor Trudeau that soonafter a meeting with President Trump was given his marching orders. Will other politicians be given their marching orders? Again, let's wait and see. In Germany, a Federal Election can dramatically change the political environment in Germany and in France the new Prime Minister is fighting for his survival and being threatened with a no confidence vote. Will he last until July 2025 when new French Assembly Elections can take place.
And in Britain, Keir Starmer is losing cabinet members as trees lose leaves in the autumn. Will Rachel Reeves remain in her post? Let's see what she can come up with in the new budget. Although inflation is said to have fallen, the fall has nothing to do with announced financial measures that will only come into effect in April 2025. Let's see what happens to inflation after April 2025 when the real picture of the British economy will come to the surface.

Not again: for a month US Administration faces shutdown due to budget deficits
The USA might spend trillions of dollars in Defence, but those who really serve see little of it.
Much of the monies end up in the pockets of shareholders of the military apparatus, but real servicemen and their families end up begging to make ends meet.
Not, it is not Jamaica. It is the United States of America when middle classes are vanishing and the gap between the super rich and the super poor rises steadily while public debt grows exponentially.
Elon Musk is more than right to state that unless the budget is brought under control the USA is literally bankrupt. An Empire running on empty and promoting and justifying ever more brutal foreign policies that justify Genocide in a world in which the ends justify the means. A far cry from the nation led by the Founding Fathers. There is no compassion, There is no right nor wrong. Everything goes.
On January 20th, 2025, a new President will be inaugurated. Will things ever change or will things keep going in the wrong direction?
Respect must not be confused with fear and fear is no respect whatsoever.
