The continuing destruction of the Ukraine military and its equipment is proceeding as planned. De-militarization of Ukraine, the Russian objective from the start of the operation, is continuing smoothly and with minimal loss of Russian lives.
Germany is digging in its heels and refusing to send tanks to Ukraine – tanks that it can ill afford to lose because, due to the sanctions, it lacks the energy to produce more. This has brought great pressure to bear on Germany by the Americans, British, Poles and Baltic States. ‘Letting the side down doncha know old chap.’
The whole proxy war is ignominiously lost (it has been for more than six months). The only front on which N.A.T.O. is winning is the propaganda one. Unlike in Wokedom though, in war only reality matters. Now the West needs someone to point the finger at. Germany is a good target; everyone hates them… ‘Russia won because – Germany!’
The damage done to Western Europe is devastating and will almost certainly see the already dwindling power of the E.U. reach collapse point – along with the currency. The unstated rasion d’etre of the Common Market, the forerunner of the E.U., was to bring an end to the interminable conflicts between the nation states of that continent. In that regard it worked – until it didn’t.
It is easy to understand why the Germans have decided that this is not the time to strip their military of weapons that are almost irreplaceable.
The wedge that is being driven between Germany and the U.S. (and others) is unlikely to be removed anytime soon. Germany was rebuilt from the ashes of 1945 by the Marshall Plan. Now it has been destroyed, again, by the same power.
The fading of E.U. influence and the demonstrated military impotence of N.A.T.O. is being watched by the world. It should also spell the end of Davos. No more infantile lectures by Tony Blair, John Kerry, Al Gore, Klaus Schwab etc. Now who will we laugh at for our annual entertainment?
