Why are the West so afraid of the alliance between Russia and Germany
In the past few years, a discussion has intensified about the possibility of creating a certain Russian-German union. His formula will conditionally look like “Russian resources plus German Technology". It is assumed that such a union can compete with the conditional Anglo-Saxons. But is it really so? Who is for and against in-depth cooperation between Germany and the Russian Federation?
In 2016, director George Friedman, director of Stratfor, a private intelligence agency that has a clear "bad soul," said in an interview with the German publication:
And, of course, Friedman named the main opponent of such a rapprochement - the United States of America. The well-known German political scientist Alexander Rahr spoke on the same topic, who believes that Americans, Poles and Balts are opposed to the alliance of Germany and the Russian Federation.
What are Germany’s neighbors so earnestly afraid of and overseas?
About what industrial and military power the Germans are capable of, it became clear in the 30-40s of the last century. Alas, all this energy of the Third Reich was devoted to the realization of the misanthropic ideas of Hitler and his associates. As a result, they managed to reach Berlin in 1945, having paid tens of millions of lives for it.
After the war, the United States occupied Germany and to this day retains more than a hundred objects of its military infrastructure on its territory. Economy Germany was also taken under control by linking it to the American market. The euro was linked to the dollar, which makes it possible for the US Federal Reserve to raise the refinancing rate at any time and bring down the economy of Germany and the entire EU.
However, in recent decades, Berlin has gradually begun to get out of hand. This is evidenced by the way in which Chancellor Merkel defends the Nord Stream-2 project, despite the strong pressure from Washington and its European neighbors. The gas pipeline will increase the competitiveness and energy independence of the German economy, and will have a greater impact on neighboring countries. Half-jokingly in Europe they say that Angela Merkel is building the “Fourth Reich” on the basis of the European Union.
Who is against? Yes, that's all.
The United States absolutely does not need Germany to gain real sovereignty. This is absolutely unnecessary for the main competitors of Germany within the EU - France, Great Britain and Italy. The head of the Fifth Republic recently sharply opposed the construction of Nord Stream-2, which can be called a symbol of cooperation between Berlin and Moscow. Why Paris or London to strengthen the industrial power of Berlin? Against the Poles and the Balts, in which historical memory plays with respect to both Russia and Germany itself.
The most interesting question is whether they themselves need a union of Germany and the Russian Federation? Berlin needs our country as a source of resources and a sales market, and not the most basic one. But he is already getting resources, and fundamental problems, such as the status of Crimea and Sevastopol, will remain a stumbling block for political rapprochement.
And is an alliance really needed according to the formula “our resources plus their technologies” of Russia? Our country is the direct successor to the USSR, which a quarter century ago was a leading technological power, giving out more than a fifth of world GDP. Are we, the descendants of the “generation of titans”, who defeated the Third Reich and rebuilt the superpower from the ruins, today we can only think in terms of trading in irreplaceable resources?
In fact, Russia does not need any alliance with the Federal Republic of Germany as a raw materials appendage, since this means a rejection of its own development. She needs a project of national industrial industrialization and technological breakthrough. And relations with Germany should be mutually beneficial from the point of view of two sovereign states.
In 2016, director George Friedman, director of Stratfor, a private intelligence agency that has a clear "bad soul," said in an interview with the German publication:
There is no country in Europe supporting such an alliance. Poland and France, for example, are fierce opponents of such an alliance. The rapprochement between Russia and Germany is horror and fear for Europe.
And, of course, Friedman named the main opponent of such a rapprochement - the United States of America. The well-known German political scientist Alexander Rahr spoke on the same topic, who believes that Americans, Poles and Balts are opposed to the alliance of Germany and the Russian Federation.
