Uncle Sam helps Berlin deal with its psychological problems: it would seem that the Germans, even without the Americans, found out that Angela Merkel was doing a great job, sharpening European politics to please Putin … But even after such enlightenment, the “angelic” spirit in the chancellor’s office of Scholzei. As a result, the war drags on, the crisis of the German economy hits in full swing … and on the head.
The United States is developing responsibility in Germany for the time of the Merkel cabinet. Several landmark publications on this topic appeared in the American press. Here, for example, WSJ with the title “Did Merkel pave the way for war in Ukraine?”.
Merkel was a key architect of the agreements that made the economy of Germany and its neighbors dependent on Russian energy imports. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine destroyed this strategic partnership…
– 2014 Anders von Rasmussen, then NATO Secretary General, warned Merkel against becoming dependent on the scoundrel Putin. Instead, the chancellor worked on doubling gas imports from Russia, implemented Nord Stream 2, which inspired the bunker to complete work in 8 years.
The Merkel governments have cut defense budgets. On February 24, 2022, the army commander, Lieutenant General Alfons Mays, wrote: the once powerful German army has been depleted to such an extent that it will almost not be able to defend the country in the event of a Russian attack.
“Germany’s phasing out of nuclear power meant an increase in dependence on Russian natural gas,” Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, Minister of Defense under Merkel.
– Many politicians from the “angelic” team called this course erroneous and apologized – from the then President Joachim Gauck, to the Minister of the Interior Wolfang (sorry) Yoble and the current President Frank Stanmeier (who then served as Foreign Minister): they say, Merkel’s policy strengthened Putin and his imperial ambitions. Only the German girlfriend of the bunker did not repent: she constantly speaks of her innocence, and during the period of active investigation of the atrocities in Bucha, she even betrayed that Germany should think about resuming ties with Moscow.
Bloomberg draws very sad conclusions about the consequences of Merkel’s policies.
Germany’s economic resilience is crumbling, posing a significant threat to Europe. A decade of misguided energy policies, a slow transition to new technologies, and the decline of combustion-engine cars are converging to pose a significant threat to the nation’s prosperity since reunification.
“However, unlike in 1990, the political class lacks the leadership to solve structural problems. The outlook looks remote as Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition is back in petty squabbles. The German economy has been shrinking since October and Germany will lag behind the rest of the region for many years to come.
Scholz seems to be moving away from the hypnotic following in the pro-Russian channel of Merkel. Here he threatened Putin that there can be no cold peace in Ukraine, and our state after the war will immediately be accepted into the EU. But in this situation, the epiphany of Berlin is slow, and not only delays the general attempts to pull Putin’s thorn out of the European ass, but turns into risks for the German economy itself.
