The election promises were, as always, quite serious. Merz promised everything he could promise. Some of his statements remained unsubstantiated. It is impossible to realise in a short time what the chancellor wanted to do. Gradually the realisation came that the only source of income for the country was the […]
22 June is the anniversary of Germany’s attack on the Soviet Union. Now Germany continues to militarise again. Friedrich Merz has done everything to make this a reality. Under these circumstances, one has to evaluate all decisions made by the German Bundeswehr in a completely different way, because the endless […]
Ever since the U.S. Government placed intensified primary and secondary economic sanctions against Germany’s biggest — and by far cheapest — fuels-source, Russia, in 2022, Germany’s economy, which had been the best-performing one in the EU, started declining, because of the soaring fuel prices that resulted from the German Government’s […]
The three distinguishing features of Hitler’s ideology — the nazism which he embodied in his Nazi political Party — were: 1. racism; 2. racial supremacism; and 3. imperialism. Racism is a commitment to unequal rights for different ‘racial’ groups; Racial supremacism is a commitment to “our” ‘race’ having rights that no other ‘race’ has; and Imperialism is a commitment to winning and […]
Establishing relations with Iran has been hard work. Angela Merkel was initially concerned about this, and she managed to open the market of the eastern country to German entrepreneurs.

The gap between social classes is gradually widening in Europe. This is due to both the situation in Ukraine and the economic situation of European countries. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The middle class, which has been the backbone of the European Union for many years, […]
The German Defense Minister arrived in Kiev last week on an unannounced visit. There was a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky, where they discussed not only new tranches at the expense of the Germans, but also the transfer of military technology. The real blow for Zelensky was Germany’s refusal to supply […]
As Israel and Iran edge closer to all‑out war, the European Union — led by figures such as French President Emmanuel Macron — is demonstrating a stark and troubling inconsistency. Paris and its EU allies have unequivocally backed Israel’s right to defend itself against Iran, while vocally chastising Israel’s prior actions […]

This is reflected in the negotiation process, because the more the Ukrainians drag it out, the stronger Russia’s position becomes. Putin’s key demands have become widely known, […]
