Germany is the largest economy in the E.U. However, due to a confluence of horrible events, most of them self-created as an outcome of ridiculous energy production decisions, the German industrial economy has been contracting since 2022.
Into this downward spiral of negative economic events within Germany, now comes the problem of President Trump eager to eliminate the Marshal Plan of one-way tariffs and start dealing with the trade inequities. The German industrial manufacturing companies who make up the majority of the economic output are concerned, very concerned.
Within the discussion suddenly something appears that all Western financial pundits have yet to accept. Leo Barincou, a senior economist at Oxford Economics in Paris says:
[…] limited tariffs on selected products, such as cars, chemicals and agricultural products, may not be too much of a problem, Barincou says. A rising dollar, and hence a falling value of the euro, would offset some of the harm caused by the tariffs. “At a macro level, the impact would be limited,” he says. (read more)
Yep, here we go again.
We saw this play out in 2017 through 2019. China first responded to tariffs by subsidizing their targeted industries and later devaluing their currency. We began importing deflation because Chinese products arrived with lower, subsidized, prices, and we paid for them with higher value dollars.
The downside for the rest of the world was China pulling back from purchases of large industrial products from Europe. This made the EU furious at Trump, and subsequently the EU central banks lowered the euro as an offset. For Americans we started importing deflation from Asia and Europe. Everything was arriving at a lower price and being paid using higher value dollars.
I find it a little humorous that Germany openly admits they will offset Trump tariffs, devalue their currency, and ship goods without tax impacts. Meanwhile the gaslighting U.S. financial pundits will keep pretending this is not happening.
The names have changed, but the cause & effect outcomes remain the same.
Considering PDT is still nearly 2 months from implementing anything, the globalists appear to be puckering up pretty fast
I know…this is a hilarious comment to this old semi-retired gal, Oldretiredguy. It is, at least, interesting to watch. Keep the popcorn coming. And the sense of humor intact.
Kegan exercises.
Kegle, maybe? Young moms were instructed to do Kegle exercises in pregnancy to help strengthen the urinary muscles. Kegel? Not sure of spelling.
Maybe globalist Robert Kagan exercises? (Victoria Nuland’s husband)
They’re between a rock and hard place now. Imagine having to go to Putin begging for gas again. Oh the irony.
How are they going to get the gas transported?
There is one remaining Nord Stream pipe intact (there were 2 pairs).
And they’ll pay more for it too, as the ruble will be stronger against the mark.
Because they know what’s coming!
Any fantasies about them playing “FAFO” with Pres. Trump have already been proven to be bad judgement!
Let the games begin
Yes, all the current grumblings of Tariffs causing inflation. As if we didn’t live through Trump 1.0 and the outcome of these same police’s implemented back then. I can’t wait for Trump 2.0!
The dems also say, “deporting migrants will cause deflation!” Which is obvious, in that we would then not have to feed and house tens of millions of people who are probably illiterate in two languages.
Meanwhile, “Tariffs will cause inflation!”
I wish there were a filter to turn off anything coming out of their mouths. They have demonstrated that every policy they prescribe is bad for the U.S., and their screeching is just so annoying!
It’s called the TV remote…no point in listening to their drivel…tune them out once and for all.
Exactly. You don’t have to give them your eyeball time, which by proxy you are not giving their advertisers eyeball time.
The system will sell correct when the advertisers pull out, the networks sell off (MSNBC, etc) and the celebrity hosts swap out. Maybe then we will get the kind of conservative content we have been begging for.
We need real news free from political bias…no agenda…what a novel idea.
Shame on advertisers for financing this crap they call journalism.
Shame on the corporate media for becoming propagandists and trampling on Freedom of the Press.
The good news is the cavalry is coming!
See my reply to PS.
It (the conservative content) is, and has been, available for ages… just not on the MSM. Turn off, and Tune out.
Alternative media is far better than anything on legacy media. With the COVID debacle, courageous, highly educated medical professionals have come forth with substantive information, which has not been filtered through some big media organization.
The same is true of other fields such as finance, economics, politics, etc. It’s actually possible to learn something new and valuable if you search such internet sites. It is possible to avoid the coercive propaganda media — fortunately.
Great points.
Yes, correct Sturmudgeon…it is all available online and right here on The Treehouse.
A virtual smorgasbord of content is there for the taking.
There is currently a housing shortage which is driving up prices for purchases and rentals alike. Deportation will also help with this issue.
One of the consequences of having the privileges of a 1st amendment. Screeching becomes the sweet sound of freedom. The left tried to do that with us by sensorig the internet including licensed medical professionals during the plandemic and beyond. Be careful what you wish for.
The EU may be in for a rude wakening when Russia starts fighting back at NATO countries. Putin won’t bomb anyone but may send them back to 1900 when he takes out pipelines, fiber cables, power lines, etc. through a series of ‘accidents’.
Or course, the US will be there to help, at a price.
He has promised mirror / reciprocal strikes. So if French weapons are used by Ukraine, watch out.
I love this and cannot wait to see results.
The French have demonstrated no proscription on assassination. Watch out indeed.
Putin is going to demand money from NATO to repair the damage done inside Russia.
He should also demand that no NATO country’s businesses be involved in the repair work in Ukraine. Take the profit out of the war and the Deep State should go find another patsy.
If not monetary, then will use that leverage to get the Donbass and other concessions, when the PDJT negotiations start.
There’s a snowball’s chance of Russia giving back territory. Too much Russian blood invested.
But if Russia was offered a few thousand NeoLibCons in exchange, there could be a discussion.
Sorry if my comment wasn’t clear.
I agree, no chance Russia gives land back.
I meant Russia keeps the Donbass, and if needed can use damages as additional leverage.
Interesting idea!!!
Allow him to keep a demilitarized Konigsberg.
Putin will take what he can get. He’ll be negotiating with the guy who wrote the book on the topic.
As the US is generally accepted as the Boss of all these other NATO vassals there is a strong possibility that it will not escape harmless from any Russian response. Especially as it is supplying the targeting data for the ATACMS missiles.
Also, some here seem to forget that the US benefits enormously from both its trade to and its ownership of businesses in Europe. As two simple examples, in the UK all the large fast food and coffee supplying chains are US owned whilst every card transaction in Europe pays commission to the US. There could be a sting in the tail here.
You have the tail and the dog confused…
Or the dreaded EMP attack. That alone would do catastrophic damage worse than a nuke.
An EMP attack on the USA is WW3. The retaliatory consequences are too dark to ignore by any nation.
Not going to happen.
TPTB will never let that happen: How can they track our every move, use the NSA database against political adversaries, and store all that IC data with the grid down?
That’s good news.
My comment on the EMP in response to Sally that Russia could attack Europe by unconventional means. Definitely not toward the USA.
Lions and tigers and bears-oh my.
So far Vlad hasn’t touched a cable pipeline or anything. Sabotaged by the West or Xhina.
The US and EU instigated the Ukraine debacle.
Don’t forget the EU added millions of 3rd world parasites as well. The islamicization of EU is glorious.
Now back to $ issues.
There’s a book title ‘The Strange Death Of Europe’.
Yes, by Douglas Murray…haven’t yet read his book.
He lectures about what is happening and rails against the insane policies…yet sadly the destruction continues.
Putin should add the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline to the reparations bargaining chips
Putin should pay to rebuild Ukraine, repatriate kidnaped Ukranian children and suicide in a bunker to spare himself a war crimes tribunal.
Nonsense. Shadow fleet may experience a rash of accidents.
America has given trillions to these gutless pigs
Every American could probably be living like millionaires if we didn’t support the entire world
IMO the U.S.A. has certainly been supporting us here in Canada.
Your dollar is now worth $1.40 or so Canadian.
So many Canadians will no longer be enjoying those winter getaways unless they are well prepared.
Crude, Natural Gas, Grains etc will likely cost Americans much less going forward.
I am no economist, far from it.
However IMO things are looking good for Americans…I’ll prepared Canadians are in for a shock.
Cheers!
Why do Canadians vote for that bubble head Trudeau?
I went to Vancouver around 1997 and it was sparkling clean. Loved it.
Puzzled why Canada can’t build more homes, condos, etc. Stifling liberal policies? Sell some timber, create some new cities, and harvest LNG and build a nuclear power plant, if needed. MCGA!
Canadians haven’t really been voting for Trudeau lately. My understanding is that he is very unpopular, but the Parliamentary (multi-party) system makes it pretty hard to get rid of him.
Too big to rig.
He is installed, just like so many ‘leaders’ around the world.
So, the Swamp.
The Swamp can eat you alive…
Just ask Ole Miss…
Trust God. Fear not.
Let Canadians NOT forget o’bummer and his ‘helpers’ went to Canada to ‘help’ with their ‘elections’.
Didn’t Dominion have offices in Ottawa somewhere? How convenient for his helpers.
Canada, just like the U.S., is controlled by the Divide and Conquer method. Every Eastern Province is on Federal Welfare, all Canadian Media is funded by the Federal (Liberal) Government. In fact it is VERBOTEN to talk about the Covid Scam, all Media is Radio Silent about anything that contradicts Big Government control.
Elections? Quebec is a toss up between the Separatists and Trudeau’s ilk. Ottawa is located in Ontaria so grift and bribery is the currency. Every election involves bribery/subsidies to Ontario. And all the dirtbags in Ottawa need to do is get a few seats in the West. Done deal.
Canadian Democracy. Sit down and shut up.
Free Alberta and Saskatchewan!
They don’t! He cheats too!
Because they are pseudo socialists akin to the European model.
Their productivity is constrained for some of the same reasons as Germany.
The Albertans want to drill but their govt. stopped oil production.
They too went for Chinese EV production but those batteries die in sub zero climates.
Canada has my sympathies and hope they can pull out of the nosedive they are in right now.
We here in the Mountain west and Great Plaines and Gulf Coast would welcome all Albertans to join our Republic; in fact we will gladly trade you Minnesota even.
Not taking American North Africa, but thanks for the offer.
“Winter getaways”? Many Americans raising children cannot afford food.
Lots of Canadians (often called snowbirds) migrate to the U.S. annually for the winter.
They are back in South Florida in droves this year, starting a week ago, traffic basically doubles and the beaches are packed while 2 weeks ago things were pretty quiet. But all things considered, Canadians are much better than the hoards of permanent Haitians and Jamaicans each with dozens of little kids.
Canadians pay their way. Florida was my winter getaway for almost 20 years. Can’t go this year because our place was seriously damaged by the storm surge. We have been told it will probably be late next year before things are completely repaired.
We appreciate the economic boost from our Northern neighbors, no matter where they visit.
Good luck with your repairs.
Central Arizona mountains, here… Canadian “snowbirds” have kept our economy alive through thick and thin, active investors and the more leisurely retirees… some of the best neighbors we’ve ever had, even if they are part-time.
Canada officially embraced ‘multiculuralism’ in the late 1980s. A friend had a French girlfriend there, and she complained about a large number of new arrivals with less-than-polite behavior and customs.
They’ve had over 100 churches burned, many Catholic. It seems they also haven’t built enough housing, but they have incredible resources. Their recent birth rare is a disastrous 1.3 TFR? (2.1 is replacement)
Patrick Moore and Dr. Jordan Peterson are two great Canadians. Moore is a pro-energy environmentalist who helped start Greenpeace but left the organization when he thought they went too far.
https://x.com/EcoSenseNow/status/1617041530249969665
“They’ve had over 100 churches burned, many Catholic”
And THE REST OF THE STORY.
Nearly all the torched churches are on Indian (Native) Reserve Lands and sparked by the Residential capture/kidnapping of children and the physical and sexual abuse of those children.
Some of the stories are fiction (200 plus children buried in Kamloops) but many, if not most are true.
My parents went to Yuma, Arizona for 20 years. Had 3 houses there. I visited once and decided I’d rather ski all winter.
or local property taxes…
Didn’t realize this until I was in the service but our family was “dirt-poor”. We NEVER wanted for food, shelter, clothing or medical care. We lived plainly in a stable environment.
If they cut out their beer & pretzels, & cigarettes… with all of the taxpayer handouts, most anyone can do it.
I didn’t realize how many Canadians came to the USA as snowbirds until I visited some friends in Yuma, AZ. My friends live in a 55+ community and the community is mostly Canadian.
Some we’re worried at that time because Canadian government was making purchase secondary health insurance for out of country travel. A few had to sell what they had in Yuma. Yes. Devalued dollar can definitely impact their retirement.
Not just Canadian snow birds. US retirees in northern states also head to Yuma.
Lots of cheap dental work in Los Algodonnes.
Been there and done that 20 years ago.
Yes . I’m aware of that. That area also attracks Boondockers and transients in general. Soooooo may people camping out in the desert. BLM land has become home to the homeless and adventure seekers.
Had the same revelation while living for a while in a lake resort area in Northwest AZ–my favorite were the ones from Alberta–great people! Would trade Washington State and Oregon for Alberta.
Whoa there, fella. Eastern Washington and Oregon are Great Places.
Seattle/Tacoma/Portland/Eugene are the sheet holes.
In a more civilized era, Americans could receive a retirement visa to live in Canada. Those days are past, in a former life I had considered this option.
Canadians ought to pay taxes to the US and relevant State(s) if they are living like vagabonds in the US for large parts of the year. Sure, come visit, but we’re not running a flop house.
Not to quibble as I do not snowbird in the U.S.
But if you own Property in any U.S. State, you pay taxes.
And as in nearly every other country on the planet, taxes of every kind are on everything you purchase, even in a Winter Rental.
AND. FWIW I’m not seeing a Northern Invasion from Canada into the U.S. but those Drug Cartels and their U.S. Partners sure seem to be active moving tax-Eaters across your southern border.
Medical Insurance is keeping a lot of Canadians from travelling outside the wonders of Socialized Medical Care.
Been waiting 6 months for a Specialist to look at a damaged shoulder, just got told it will be another 12 to 18 months.
Everyone is equal in Canada, equally abused.
And except for travelling outside of Canada, it is illegal to practice Private Medical Care in Canada. Canada’s “Charter of Rights and Freedoms” is just a bunch of palliative words that the Supreme Court always rules to favor their Favorite- Trudeau. That is, you have no rights except what the Liberal Party of Canada says you have.
Fun fact, did you know our Constitution/Bill of Rights, as originally drafted/signed included Canada? Found an old law book from the 1920’s, absolutely golden source of untapped unadulterated data. One of the charges against the king was sending foreign born agents and flooding us with illegal immigrants. Literally what they are doing right this moment. I read the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Federalist papers online but there’s a wealth of knowledge missing from it. Not finished reading it, it’s six inches thick. The coolest bonus was a epic hand written note on “Treason”, the penmanship alone is exquisite.
My grandmothers maiden name was Hawley. Her forefather wrote to King Charles for permission to start a new Colony – present day Vermont. A loyalist, he and Family were forced to march to Canada at the start of the Revolution and his home was given to what would be the first governor of Vermont – the first governors mansion. He died on the walk in winter but sons fought for England. His letters/position indicate NY had a lot of corruption in tax collecting & the taxes were not making it back to England. 🤓 Just interesting to read a different perspective on history.
My family moved to Nova Scotia during the Revolution. One distant part of my family.
New York has a lot of corruption now, so I wonder if it passed down in families. Much of the corruption is in NYC proper, but diffuses northward.
Great reading new perspectives on our mutual histories. The interconnection of families and businesses made colonists choose sides, either rebel or loyalist.
King Charles is definitely pulling strings with his push for the Green New Deal, open borders and other schemes.
Eerie how similar events are today.
Name of the Law book? with publication details? Would help us locate.
Sandra – or at least no American would be homeless and/or hungry. I am just tired of going to the grocery being an emotional experience.
It always boils my blood when lefties praise Europe for free education, free healthcare blah blah blah.
Because to me Europe is the typical grifter leftist child. Always taking, taking, taking from the parent while badmouthing them every step of the way.
If we didn’t pay for their defense and pay their tariffs while they pay zero, nothing would be free for those leftists.
Then they come over here and buy our properties while our children are saddled with debts to pay their way. 37 trillion and rising.
You just made my blood boil.
Now we know why the media has to gaslight everyone and needs distractions 24/7.
Because when we discover the truth about all the grifting the sleeping giant awakens.
You’re halfway there. The American Taxpayer and cheap Russian Energy is the foundation of European Welfare.
Beeching at you while you fund their lifestyles.
Current American Debt”
I spend a lot of time over at Postcards from Barsoom. I would rate it as similar to here but more cultural than directly political. One thing that is different is that there a lot of non-Americans there. The owner himself is Canadian and a lot of Europeans are around. I say things like you just did and it sends them into a frothing rage of anti-Americanism. Then I agree with them and say we are going home and that makes them even madder. I tend to call them welfare bums rather than gutless pigs. I will have to experiment as to which makes them madder.
Thank you Richard, for helping to make their anti-American brains explode!
EXCELLENT POINT!

This day in 2028 if we don’t do something.
Democrats?
Millionaires-no, debtless certainly.
Tariff’s don’t work😀
They worked before. How do you think the Feds were financed before income tax?
Why did the government switch to income tax if tariffs worked so well?
Guessing they wanted more money
So they could broaden the base and collect way more,….Instead of tariffing a few thousand companies, they decided to tax hundreds of millions of individuals.
Control.
Was it to finance war?
Smart observation. President Lincoln proposed the first income tax as a temporary measure to help the Union pay for ongoing Civil War expenses.
Original excuse – along with “it’s temporary.” Everyone knows how THAT worked out.
Ultimately it was for both control and to keep the people down. Can’t have the peasants doing toooo well, they might wield their real power…
So, the state could expand perpetually and still allow their friends to grift using other peoples money. It’s really weird that public debt has increased exponentially in unison with domestic tax take.
Tariffs didn’t oppress the working class enough for our greedy government class.
It was supposed to be temporary to pay for WW2 IIRC
Seriously? Corruption.
Currently existing tariffs most certainly work against the US.
US needs to dump the UN, NATO and let Europe rot in the cesspool they have made for themselves.
Bring our troops home, reduce our bloated woke military to only what WE need and balance our budget.
If my memory is still working I believe the income tax was part of the Federal Reserve grift. The income tax was to be used to pay the interest to the bankers that owned the Federal Reserve. Tariffs to continue to fund the government.
That’s the story from the Welfare Bums in Universities, (un)Think tanks and other assorted innumerates/droolers.
The Hunger Games on a International Level?
I will lay my bets on DJT 47!
May the odd be in OUR favor !
It’s likely why he put a financial shark in his cabinet…
Subsidized products are subject to countervailing duties. I expect Commerce Sec Lutnick to be proactive on this issue.
The problem with (in particular) Chinese products subject to higher tariffs is transshipment thru Mexico and other countries with lower duty rates. Considerable Customs expertise in detecting duty evasion has been lost over the last 20 years.
Container ships coming out of China are doing fine right now/s at our expense.
Would the transshipment thru Mexico not run into the USMCA enforcement buzzsaw?
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/23/fearing-trump-compliance-demand-mexico-quickly-looking-for-alternatives-to-chinese-parts-and-components/
Probably. And China has long used Canada as a way to indirectly dump things like steel and aluminum into the U.S.
Some have opined:
Considerable expertise in everything has been lost over the last 30 years in the US.
And cannot be restored now, for several reasons including DIE corruption of all spheres especially education.
Without expertise and competency, the US is a sinking ship, regardless of trade policies or anything else. (But do note that the debt will also sink it even if competencies were miraculously restored.)
Never mind. Nothing to see here, go back to your lives citizens. Happy Thanksgiving, make sure to pack your bellies, watch football (bread and circuses), and buy more Chinese stuff you don’t need on Black Friday.
Sounds like typical naysayers who want continued abuse of the USA.
The young were some of the biggest supporters of MAGA, so education is already being changed.
When lawsuits for discrimination get to a fever pitch, then DEI will stop, since it violates anti discrimination laws.
The SC has ruled affirmative action is illegal, but some colleges will persist until their clocks get cleaned.
PDJT has already threatened to tax endowments if the anti semitic and race based protestations continue.
It’s a long hard slog, but we are definitely going in the right direction.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Gold Sister, you are absolutely correct. Plus, Americans have ALWAYS risen to the occasion. The ingenuity, determination and entrepreneurial animal spirit will be released. The red tape will be cut and new companies will be built and flourish. A perfect example of this out on public display, years ago, the oil spill in the gulf. You had major companies cleaning it up with “current” technology. It worked okay. They put the call out to entrepreneurs and thousands created all kinds of innovative products, some worked better than others, some didn’t work great, but some were outstanding and worked much better than the major companies technology and were adapted to clean the gulf. That’s what’ll happen here if markets are opened and people have a chance to compete without all the red tape.
simpleton, an honest question, if you feel like you are on a sinking ship and there’s no recourse, why are you staying? Obviously, there are other places you can go. You can get on a lifeboat before this sinks, which would be what any rational person would do—if in fact, you believe this IS a sinking ship REGARDLESS OF WHAT 47 does. The only other explanation is you are so old that you feel you’ll die before it really sinks. Just wondering.
Yes Spurrier…there are so many great examples of what the American people are capable of, especially under difficult circumstances. This also includes those who come here the right way, to contribute their talents and also appreciate our way of life.
As for others who don’t like it, they can certainly lump it.
🤷♀️ 💁 🤷♀️
The younger generations have experienced
what no previous generation in US has ever
experienced.
During Covid hoax they were in …lockdown.
No school, no sports, no hanging out with peers…..
They appear to be less susceptible to brainwashing
and propaganda than previous generations.
They do not receive or share their news from
propaganda media.
They have their own phones and tablets.
That is great!
They appear to be more in tune with what is happening
around the world…in real time..than any previous generations.
They are not stupid.
Watch video to end and you will understand the basis…why
I make my statement.
Bonhoeffer‘s Theory of Stupidity – YouTube
☝️ ☝️ ☝️ 5 minutes….illustrated animation
I watched it and Bonhoeffer believed the Germans (at that time) were stupid/morally bankrupt to the strong propaganda from authority. They were following along with zero individual thought, easily manipulated and therefore quite dangerous. Your basic tenets of groupthink comes to mind.
The youth today and basically anyone, are fortunate with online content and cross checking sites. There is bad mixed with the good, but at least one can bypass the legacy propagandist media and search for information. With so much available to discern, most people become “immune” to typical one sided brainwashing. That’s why there is a huge push to censor the internet and Elon…so the propaganda can flourish unchecked.
Pfft!
I enjoy watching tractor trailers fly thru the port with a wave and a stamp while some peasant haggles with inspectors over trivial personal imports. Restores my faith in our overlords.
Nailed it SD
😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂 😃
MAGAnomics and America 🇺🇸 FIRST policies in action. Main Street wins, globalists lose. AGAIN!!
Redux.
And all those subsidized by government based scholarships, grants, direct employment economists are wrong AGAIN.
Apply that reality of the ‘economists’ to law, psychology, sociology, education, medicine and professions in government, directly or as contractors or consultants vs those in the ‘pure’ private sector.
What does that say about all of the those wirh advanced degrees working for the government???
“What does that say about all of the those with advanced degrees working for the government???”
Maybe that their “advanced degree” is multi-purpose, as it’s equally as valuable in the commode?
Probably more valuable there than at the desk.
Yes, those super smart super educated degrees they want the rest of us to pay for.
Those super educated degrees that they obtain now are probably equivalent to what I got in high school in the mid sixties.
1944 my father took a government job in Berkeley, Ca fresh out of highschool. He was one of many Atom-Smashers. Top Secret Manhattan Project.
People coming out of highschool now don’t know history, math, or read at a college level. What a shame our education system has become.
It says just another form of slavery.
“Come get your degree, take on huge debt, work for us to pay off said debt (courtesy of taxpayers), all while you espouse our crazy theories.”
Rinse repeat.
Bob Dylan sang in the 60s about ” your useless and pointless……knowledge.” .The idea is old, he just brought the sarcasm and derision to it. Good to know how to grow food and get along with people.
I got my “Advanced Degree” from a Wizard that lives in an Emerald city.
In economics, like in physics, there are no free rides…you don’t get something for nothing, so inflating their currency may help them temporarily, but…
The world again realizes, with the real President Trump in charge, things they are a changing. The bench warmers have been kicked out of office, and the A Team is taking over.
I am pondering if the some of the A Team were hired to work themselves out of a job by eradicating the organizations they are hired to “re-reorganize”. Or, at least whittling them down to about all that is really needed – not much. Many of the new hires certainly don’t need a salary due to previous fame/fortune.
Just blow up Germany’s gas pipelines to get the last of their industrials shut down and moved to the US.
Germany can get by on solar panels and wind turbines to do the planet a favor.
Here we go again! Woop.
There is little evidence of moves to the US. Does anyone here have any?
The economic destruction of Europe by the destruction of the pipeline is a two edge sword.
Ok I will play the “Shrug we have no evidence, whomeever could it be” game
Three questions you can ask:
* Which limited subset of countr(ies) have the capability, resources, the will and the specialized equipment for a covert sub-sea strike and underwater detonation
* Who was in the area at the time (largest Nato excercises ever in the Baltic sea)
* Cui bono the most (from de-industrialization in Germany)
Also if you are still in doubt Joe Biden for one is on record to say something to the gist of “We will never allow Nordstream to become operational” (find it online somewhere, likely not on MSNBC)
Here’s also one interesting tidbit: when the undersea Internet cables were cut off recently it took them 1 day to point the finger at China. With Nordstream we still “dont know who did it” even after countries “investigated”.
PS: If you are of the few who want to imply Russia blew up the pipeline. Counter question: why would Russia blow up their multi million dollar pipeline that they paid for, if the OFF switch and the gas is on their end. Unless you you are thinking Putin is plaing 6D chess. But how could that 6D chess be if the West implies Putin is a stupid thug most of the time. Which reality is true then?
It is a stretch.
Best answer is still in to see who benefitted most.
German companies are moving to China, not the US.
With so many examples of US snatching
assets…Venezuela and Russia being
latest examples…and not just the countries
assets…but snatching assets of individuals
who were “ associated “ with those countries.🤷♀️💁
If I were a Foreign Country…that would be

EU Foreign Policy chief: All EU member states must obey ICC’s arrest warrants ruling
Outgoing EU Foreign Policy chief criticizes Israel after it blasted ICC arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant: Every time someone disagrees with the policy of one Israeli government – (they are) being accused of antisemitism. That’s enough.
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/399652
The European Union’s (EU) foreign policy chief told Reuters on Saturday that EU member states cannot selectively decide whether to enforce arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
All EU nations are signatories to the Rome Statute, the ICC’s founding treaty. While several EU countries have indicated they will honor their obligations under the treaty if necessary, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has invited Netanyahu to visit Hungary, assuring him that he would not face arrest.
“The states that signed the Rome convention are obliged to implement the decision of the court. It’s not optional,” Josep Borrell, the EU’s outgoing chief diplomat, said in Cyprus.
He emphasized that the same legal obligations extend to nations seeking EU membership. “It would be very funny that the newcomers have an obligation that current members don’t fulfill,” Borrell told Reuters.
Must be some mighty big bucks being passed out to gain a 2-state solution
Josep Borrell, the EU’s outgoing chief diplomat, has been traveling throughout the Middle East visiting Jordan and Cypress spreading money and messaging that Israel must abide by the ICC decision. So much for peace in the Middle East with Sullivan, Blinken, and Josep running around spreading discord in their nations disguised as helping their economy 😛
dogsmaw: The EU has no “big bucks” to pass out.
Well, not the governments…
Hey come on guys, somebody signed a paper once, you have to abide…guys?
What would they do, kick them out? Citizens cry “yay! we’re free!”
Exactly!
Kick us out? PLEASE!
I find it interesting that sudddenly the “two state solution” is all the rage, when Palestinian leadership has consistently rejected it. They could have had it back during the Clinton administration, but they rejected it. Get real. It’s the old bait and switch again, with a bunch of young people who know no history sucked into promoting it.
It was also rejected during the Joshua Administration.
Forever.
There have been many offers on the table.
🤷♀️ 💁 🤷♀️ And both sides have rejected.
The youngsters seem to be less susceptible to the
brainwashing and propaganda, and I have
found most to be very knowledgeable on what is
happening.
Actually backing up their news/ information they
are sharing ….documentation. 👏👏👏
The videos ….kept me awake and sick to my stomach.
They are actually recommending books to read👏👏👏
The latest I am reading is The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine
by Ilan Pappe. Great book👏👏. Halfway through my Kindle
copy I bought the paperback which is being circulated
between circle of friends.
I believe he has another book just released.
The books by the Christian Palestinian -Edward Said have also
been recommended, but I have not purchased yet.
There is hope ..instead of the….Read your Bible 🙄🙄💁🤷♀️
Yeah…I would have never fallen for that line when
I was younger either.
There is hope… 🙏 pray for peace.
One way or another, these Marshall Plan arrangements will end, and deservedly so.
I expect more hysterics from the EU before this is over.
Germany will place their internal interests ahead of the so-called Union and cut their own deal with Russia.
Probably so. The reaction from Brussels though might be interesting to see.
A lot of Germany’s critical raw material (e.g., rare earth metals for wind turbines, EVs) supplies (i.e., upwards of 90%+ dependency) come from China.
This is going to be a very complicated game.
Let the arbitragers out of the stables! As though those financial sector sobs didn’t cause enough problems leading into the GFC!
If that happens, then there goes the EU apple cart.
Didn’t they do that already at one time in regards to Russian natural gas pipeline?
The EU, the 4th Reich, needs to admit that it lost and move on.
As a final Hail Mary, Macron may turn on the French charm and ask PDJT to save the EU.
Even 100 cases of their finest Premier Cru Veuve Cliquot, will not sway our President.
They will pay a price for sure, but how high is the question.
EU needs to become a trade organization again.
Germany will wise up and reinstate nuke plants. AfD is just getting started.
ZeroHedge: German Government Collapses As Mass Strikes Grind Economy To A Halt
by Tyler Durden – Nov 07, 2024
“It’s not a good day for the establishment. Just hours after Kamala Harris – and the Democrats – staggering loss which ushered in Trump as president for the third time and gave Republicans a sweep of Congress, Germany’s three-party ruling coalition which had been on the verge of collapse for months, imploded on Wednesday evening after Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced he will fire Finance Minister Christian Lindner over persistent rifts on spending and economic reforms, a move that paves the way for a snap election at the end of March.
“The firing ejects Lindner’s fiscally conservative Free Democratic Party (FDP) from the troubled coalition,…”
“The collapse of Germany’s government came just hours after Donald Trump’s clear win in the U.S. election, a result that stunned German political leaders, who depend on American military might for their country’s defense and fear Trump’s tariff policies will hobble German industry.”
“…Scholz said he had offered Lindner a deal to create an emergency fund to aid Ukraine that would exist outside Germany’s regular budget, but Lindner refused to participate in such fiscal gimmicks that saw the UK recently redefine the nature of “debt.” ”

“Lindner’s recent policy paper, leaked to the media last week, called for tax cuts and a scaling back of climate policies in order to stimulate economic growth both positions that put the party at odds with his coalition partners.” ** ZeroHedge bold **
“…The government crisis comes at the worst possible time: Trump’s victory, which anticipates imposing significant tariffs on German exports, is expected to put heavy pressure on Europe’s largest economy. An analysis from the German Economic Institute (IW) estimates that a new trade war could cost Germany 180 billion over Trump’s four years in office.
“Many in Germany had hoped that the victory of Donald Trump in the U.S. election earlier in the day would force the coalition to hold together over fears that the incoming president would give Europe’s biggest economy a hard ride, targeting its all-important car industry in a trade war.
Ultimately, however, not even the looming threat of Trump proved enough for the fractious parties to put aside their differences.”
“…The mass strikes come as Volkswagen announced on Monday it would close “at least” three of its ten plants in Germany, lay off tens of thousands of staff and downsize remaining plants in the country.
“The German Association of the Automotive Industry warned last year that the country was “dramatically losing its international competitiveness” due to soaring energy costs.”
“Soaring energy costs…” What on earth could have caused those? 😆😅🤣
Maybe the German government should blow out their asses extra hard this coming year.
You know, to push away those nasty clouds blocking their solar panels and to keep the wind turbines spinning.
A two-fer….but wait a minute….aren’t those gases from their asses a global threat as well?
What to do? What to do?
They are working on a vaccine for that as well.
–“An analysis from the German Economic Institute (IW) estimates that a new trade war could cost Germany 180 billion over Trump’s four years in office.”–
Which means the US has been been getting screwed by Germany’s one sided tariffs for around $45 Billion a year for a very long time!
The Marshall Plan (officially the ‘European Recovery Program’ of 1948) advantages should have ended 56 years ago! That would have given Europe a boost for 20 years to rebuild after WWII. Instead, they have been able to rely on it for 76 years now!
“,…limited tarifs,…may not be too much of a problem,..as we will just devalue the Euro.”
Suppose they aren’t limited?
China has been ripping us off for 1/2 a trillion $, using a variety of unfair trade practices.
Well, while the methods were different, result was same, $500 Billion/year for last 30 years.
PDJT having settled Chinas hash, was ABOUT to turn his attention TO the E.U.
Having addressed one part of the problem (actually, one method of them ripping us off) which was the EU countries underfunding NATO, confident the U.S. would make up the difference, he was about to address the “Marshall plan” trade restrictions,, …
The thing is, these countries have become dependant on these unfair trade arrangements, originally put in place in order for countries devastated by WW2 to rebuild. Once rebuilt, they continued, and used the moneyto fund their retirement programs and other social safty net prigrams and even infrastructure projects
on the backs of US.
To end these unfair trade restrictions would be setting a financial bomb off, as their people will revolt before they will tolerate any changes to programs they “ENTITLED” to..
PDJT can collapse and dismember the EU any time he wants, and devalueing the Euro won’t help.
PDJT stands to have the EU totally at his mercy (Economicly) as Putin does, militarily.
And, like Putin, keep this move to address the economic unfairness “in his pocket” as he negotiates an end to hostilities, for example.
The only way to save Europe is to collapse (get rid of) the EU and the euro. All they are is Soviet communism moved west of the Urals after the USSR fell.
Those sovereign nations need to be sovereign again, and to start blowing the migrant boats and the NGOs that run them right out of the water.
They can drastically reduce the powers of the EU and let the countries handle their own internal affairs.
Similar to what we are in the process of doing here, reducing centralized bloat and preserving states’ rights.
They don’t have a Constitution true, but they could modify their EU charter and get with the real world for a change.
My favorite quote from the great Thomas Sowell was directed at the “Tax the Rich” tax policy, but applies equally to macroeconomics and specifically, the Marshall Plan: “Just how much of what someone else earned is your fair share”.
Americans have been paying for our friends and “allies” all over the world to provide socialist pensions and health care. In return, our “allies”join in and provide political cover for our IC’s bad behavior and bullying around the globe. We get to call our bullying things like “international condemnation.”
If we stop being the global police and kingmakers, the need for these bought friends will diminish and our “friends” will find they don’t produce enough stuff to fund their socialized medicine, bloated bureaucracies, and pensions programs. They’re about to learn that their “fair share” of what we earn is zero.
All of this is true. However, I don’t really blame Europeans in general for demanding that the various government pensions, holidays, health care, etc. continue. They are the basis upon which they have planned their financial future. That is one of the great dangers of these “benefits.” They produce dependence without the populace really quite realizing it (until it’s too late).
That’s why what seems to Europeans like a cruel American system is actually kinder ultimately.
Yes it is much kinder to teach them how to be self sufficient and productive.
The same problem occurs to children who remain in the nest too long.
They never become self sufficient, nor successful in their own lives.
Have to cut the cord one way or another.
The give a man a fish or teach him to fish adage comes to mind.
What if one is allergic to seafood?
Give a man a chicken sandwich or teach to raise chickens? <smiles>
Will that work in Brooklyn?
Yes…a universal truth.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day
Teach a man to fish and he’ll buy a $30,000 bass boat with sonar-echo-imaging fish-finder system
Too bad, so sad.
How about all of the people here in the US of A who died of the jab, or had their businesses shuttered, or were jobbed out by the jab mandate?
We have suffered economic havoc or worse.
The Euros can make needed adjustments in their lives as hard working American taxpayers have.
Ever looked at Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc., percentages of US Federal debt?
Tack on growing debt financing burden.
Ever looked at the size of foreign US bonds, notes, bills holdings?
Where, if this all becomes a global financial/trade war, does this take us?
Has anyone here war gamed any of this?
Brilliantly stated Austin.
NATO has kept us in this Marshall Plan to keep the MIC gravy train going and the US has suffered tremendously.
BTW we are not actually “paying” for their pensions, European villas and comfy lifestyle, we are taking on huge debt at high interest rates to cover it. The interest on that debt alone is crippling our productivity and costing us billions. Our future is in the tank for decades to come if we do not take harsh action now…and they all know it too.
Don’t ever forget that the politicians approving all these unfunded overseas expenses are all retiring now multi millionaires.
They’re not making these decisions because it’s best for America they’re making these decisions to self enrich.
China will soon be getting a China virus bill and it may knock out everything we owe them.
Yes if that occurs and the tariffs line up, then we are all in much better economic shape.
Only if congressional spending is brought under control.
That too…DOGE will get that ball rolling very soon.
So in a nutshell…”checkmate”.
Question: if the US is going to be “equal” (or hostile at worst) with tarriffs with Europe and China.
Then who is going to take on those 14 trillion dollars of US debt that is coming down the pipe?
What if Europe and China start offloading US treasuries in that case?
If anything it wont be all roses and subshine for the US inflation numbers in that case either.
China, Japan, UK are amongst biggest US treasurie debt holders.
UK economy (and outlook) is in bad shape.
Germany de-industrializing.
Trump is pretty much openly hostile to China trade.
https://usafacts.org/articles/which-countries-own-the-most-us-debt/
A note to “all roads lead to Langley” B.K.;
Mike Walls is very clear in saying the CIA doesn’t make the decisions, it only carries out decisions dictated to it by others.
And the ‘others’?= State Dept . and DOD are the ones he says,call the shots.
I often ponder who “they” are…”they” in many places seem to be against “We” (The People).
If I was to start looking for “they”, I’d start with the bankers.
And those answering more directly to satan.
Who controls the State Dept?
IMO it is The Senior Executive Service who is controlled by the Office of Personnel Management currently headed by Rob Shriver.
Oh, really? Or is that artful dodging. I don’t know.
That makes sense except the DOD is focused on DEI, so who gave them that directive?
Perhaps the UN and EU are influencers too along with the Dem cabal.
Also big money banksters and war profiteers.
City of London.
Germany is run by the Green Party and they cheered when Biden blew-up the Nordstream Pipelines which Germany helped pay for that brought very low cost Russian natural gas to German industries like Mercedes Benz, BMW and Porsche!!!
These radical leftists have no survival instinct, do they?
Maybe they can blow up the Nordstream pipelines?
Oh, wait …
I LOVE THAT PICTURE!!!!!!! The original.
It’s so powerful. Americans don’t want anymore of your bullshit and I’m here to stop it. And by the way you can go f-yourself as our great philosopher, Elon Musk, said to the New York Times.
Yes I do too…because it depicts the situation perfectly.
PDJT holding the Key to our wealth and Shinzo Abe standing as an ally to Pres. Trump concurs.
If there was a way to erase John Bolton that would be better.
The pic certainly speaks volumes.
So sad for Shinzo Abe’s death.
Yes, very sad and Pres. Trump seems deeply affected by his death. Apparently, they were good buddies and respected each other.
And the EU
Sounds like more crap, but OK…europe still apparently succumbing to islam along with overloaded exploited social system, kind of being eaten alive in that regard and its sad to watch but hey made their bed with all their guest worker policy crap. We would do well to learn from their mistakes and prevent it from happening in the US.
“However, due to a confluence of horrible events, most of them self-created as an outcome of ridiculous energy production decisions, the German industrial economy has been contracting since 2022.”
The key: Ridiculous energy production decisions causing serious decline are mainly confined to the US Bloc.
While the other geopolitical Bloc is strengthening, free of those ridiculous self-degrading energy initiatives.
Wake up. This is not about “saving the planet from CO2”.
And unless and until the anthropogenic CO2 climate canard is overturned, this massive geopolitical tectonic will continue.
Build Back Better was a mutual suicide pact. Problem is, the US will no longer go along once Trump takes power.
US universities have been all onboard for “climate science”, principally because the US government is funding only those “scientists” who back up wacko climate change claims. “Big science” and “government funded science” is a big part of the problem. Stop the funding and the climate debate will end.
Yes, I hope that DOGE will take a chain saw through the various ‘Science’.
If China and Europe devalue their currency and our dollar rises, doesn’t that hurt our exporters?…I am not an economist, but where’s the win in that for us?
We consume 80% of what we produce right here in the USA. If Europe can’t afford our food exports it will lower our grocery store prices. Same with energy.
Its not that Europe cant afford to import US food. Many US food imports are banned in Europe and other smart countries because our food is unhealthy and full of poisons, chemicals, hormones, antibiotics ect. Europeans are far more healthy than Americans because they eat healthy more naturally grown food.
Big AG and big pharm are joined at the hip. Big AG grows food that makes you sick. Big pharm pops up and says” We got a pill for that”. Lots of money to be made by slowly killing you.
Hopefully RFK will change all that and put our country back on the road to a better diet and good health. America will never be Great Again with a sick, obese, lazy, out of shape population totally dependent on drugs of every type and color.
President Trump’s plan to reduce energy costs will encourage exporters to lower their prices, helping to offset a rising dollar. In the ideal world tariffs barriers and cheap energy should be a win-win.
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/imf-calls-carbon-restrictions-economy-bigger-covid-lockdowns
Germany following the script of the CO2 canard.
Article notes some of the falsehoods of the canard, and how the self-destruction affects the West (not China, Russia, et al).
This should be the big focus. The resulting economic declines are symptoms.
End the CO2 canard to stop the declines.
Do that A hole and you foot the total bill of nato PLUS super tariffs are your fascist imports….we don’t need the PU, the PU needs America. We saved your a– twice, NO MORE, turn or BURN. Russis coming to nuke you and we won’t save your a– NO MORE!
Trump is their worst nightmare, again. He is interrupting their vile globalist agenda.
Europe, or Germany, is not China, yet, so they don’t just change the rate of their currency with a mouse click, the market does that.
America has a strong economy and more is expected. Germany has a weak economy especially after the Biden Bombings in the Baltic Sea. That’s why the Euro has sunk down almost to one-to-one dollar level.
The word depreciation is when it just happens, devaluation is when someone does it, so there is a case for calling the present weakening of the Euro a devaluation but it wasn’t Germany did it.
Sounds like economic warfare is our weapon of choice these days.
So no need for tanks and obsolete heavy equip anymore.
Sounds like wishful thinking from MoD.
Devaluing the euro is the typical technocrat idiot’s way out. EU members need to address (but will not) its enormous gap in productivity and business acumen. The US is subsidizing short work weeks and long vacations, while EU businesses gladly worship harmful bullshit like climate change and borderless societies to the detriment of their economy and innovative spirit.
I have no sympathy whatsoever for the EU. A rude awakening is way overdue. The collapse of the EU would be a very nice bonus.
It will…in time.
Merkel it was who introduced the deadly virus which is Islam. Other EU countries followed.
In time…
We prop up the EU while they go P-euwww at us ugly Americans. I’m sick of seeing poverty and unnecessary homelessness in America. One third of North Carolina is still reeling from a history breaking storm. No one in state or federal government gives a damn. It’s criminal. The EU can go pound sand.
Gasoline has dropped $.10 a gallon nationally since 47 was elected. There is an economic truism—anticipated inflation becomes actual inflation. If consumers fear a supply shortage (think toilet paper during Covid) they will drive up demand for a product thus throwing the market supply and demand equilibrium out of balance. With the election of DJT we are seeing the opposite occur in regards to the price of oil. Suppliers are afraid of a supply increase so they are beginning to drop prices to sell their current supply before “drill baby drill” becomes policy and the market forces a significant price reduction. With a spike in supply and a relatively stable demand, energy prices will fall. Hence Trumps promise to cut energy bills for all Americans will be realized! This reality coupled with the devaluation of foreign currencies will ignite real earnings growth and strength for Americans. An inconvenient reality for leftist economists like krugman.
It’s like these pundits think we don’t remember President Trump’s first term when their dire predictions of economic ruin failed to come to pass, and the US economy was invigorated.
A bit amusing as I was reflecting last night on exactly this, from an interview Pres. Trump had done where he took some time to explain targeted tariffs as a tool. He explained the desire (of target country) for equilibrium rather than a zero-sum war. One of those results is the target devaluing their currency. But (with China as example) they’ll want to make it up somewhere and may levy higher costs onto the EU, who’ve not been too swift RE their own policies.
Germany has much to ponder. No Schadenfreude Pie from me though.
I’ve been advocating to shake these euroleeches off of America’s back since the early 80s. Long overdue.
The threat to Europe is no longer from the East. It is from Brussels.
They can tax all their pet migrants for their continuing socialized wet dreams.
P.S.: We have all the energy now. The Germans will be buying that at inflated dollar prices soon, too.
With the 2030 EV mandates in place, the car manufacturers thought the future was golden. Then along comes the reality of energy generation and suddenly windmills are just not enough. But in fairness, the globalists were counting on a much higher death count in the plandemic.
End the central banks.
The Globalists would rather beggar their citizens. I guess I am a conspiracy theorist that they want to kill a bunch of them also?
The Christmas Rush has started. The last two monthly trade deficits are stupendous:

There are damaging reciprocal measures the US can implement if the Germans or the EU decide to play games. We’re in the driver’s seat and they know it. MAGA 🇺🇸
Fine, let them and other countries devalue their currency. Trump will just inflate the tariff percentage accordingly.
Then we’ll see what their citizenry and investors think about lifestyles, standards of living and returns.
does Japan also have to deal with Trump conundrum?
Good question…strange that nobody seems to be discussing Japan’s economic position on any media.
There may be a good reason for that, but I could only venture a guess about Japan.
Devalueing the Euro is good for those of us that earn in the US but live in the EU. Since my 2025 Social Security 2.5% cost of living increase has actually netted me $1 less than what I was received in 2024, the devaluation works as a huge increase to my ability to purchase goods.
It seems likely that we are witnessing movement toward the WEF wet dream of repudiating debt and resetting the Euro as a CBDC. Whether the EU breaks apart before that gets implemented is another question.
That German economist is a fraud, if not just stupid
He didn’t see what happened before? Take the knee dummy
The big problem for Germany is the loss since 2022 of low cost high volume pipeline gas from Russia. This has destroyed the basis of its industry.
So far we have seen VW say they will cut 3 factories and 10,000 jobs, Audi 4500 jobs, Bosch 7500, another parts supplier 4500. Mercedes have announced halved profits. This is just in the motor industry. It is catastrophic and will affect US exports badly.
This is way before any threat of, let alone actual, Trump activity.
As Germany loses its tax base so the EU will lose its main source of finance. Brussels, we have a problem!
Compounded by the US cracking down this week on Gazprombank. Europe’s populations could be very cold indeed this winter. Very big changes are on the way.
That analysis almost makes me feel sorry for them.
After second thought, that’s because I like German culture, superb engineering first class beer and delicious food.
Maybe they will get to work on making Germany great again and stop the insanity.
“I suspect that “human flourishing” to this fellow is not “progress,” at least as I understand it. I see progress in the scientific as well as cultural and political sense: better medicine, cooler media, faster information-distribution systems, more freedom, more prosperity, the spread of individual and property rights across the globe. I think he means “human flourishing” to mean everyone agrees to wear the same itchy hemp robe and chant the Happy Planet Song while we tote buckets of night soil to the communal plot.”–James Lileks
As it turns out, basing your economy on a bartender’s Climate Bill is not the path to prosperity. Who knew?
In fairness, the Weather Scam is just a cover for the Greed of the Oligarchy, for making themselves wealthy and powerful while making life for others Nasty, Brutish, Short, Cold, Dark, Hungry, Lonely, Angry, Fearful, Poor, Sick and Dead.

Something happened to Germany, and it’s happening in America now. This is but one example, there is something wrong with their collective brains. They went from rocket science to this.
“Phases in which wind & sun produce only limited capacity–so-called ‘dark doldrums’–are something quite normal, so we have to be prepared.”-German energy exec. Having viewed the German people as hard-headed & practical, I’m stunned by their commitment to this naive insanity.
Hard headed and practical…what Germany is this?
Germany would do well to focus on Germany because there is plenty to worry about in that location.
The AfD party has been trying to make drastic changes, so they can MGGA!
I don’t think Merkel ever thought of it as her country, I think that’s the problem. If she loved her country she wouldn’t have done the things she did,
Maybe Merkel should be more reflective about how she affected her country.
Angele Merkel is an unreformed communist who participated in an E German Communist youth camp. There’s a picture of her in the uniform.
On a zoom out from there, we have “the problem of the Oranges.” 300 years of Hegelian desire for control, now manifesting here in the US (example: I got carded recently at a grocery store — for buying a freaking cigarette lighter! It’s here).
See Prussiagate substack.
You had to know there was something very wrong when the US allowed the reunification of Germany. Reunifaction = Prussian Nazis in actual control, on both sides of the Atlantic.
Now Elon Musk tweets out, in reference to Merkel. “Who is this Merkin person?”
Look up “merkin.”
Zing.
Love Elon’s twitter feed.
Her job was to crush the sovereignty of the most prosperous European power that exists, Germany and flood
Europe with migrants under the Schengen Agreement. The EU cannot be effective unless each country loses its sovereignty and many tactics were used to kickstart that process. Open borders, green energy, strict regulation, culture wars, vaccine tracking etc…She was the Trojan Horse that opened the floodgates of hell in Europe. Whether or not they can recover is yet to be seen.
Now she is sorry about PDJT winning again?
Only because she was no match for President Trump, who figured out her evil plans.
“There are no German people, just German citizens”.
Can’t wait!
