Yes, I hope a defeat for Ukraine that redraws the map of the region will also break up the faux legitimacy of the Brussels club and awaken a revived questioning spirit coming from the left and the centre - it's too stupid that the far right have long been the only ones who get to voice criticism of the EU and are actually heard! It wasn't always like this, back in the 1990s there were powerful healthy movements questioning the EU and neo-lib globalizaton from the left, even from within Labour parties.
Dang. It would have worked, but was spoiled only because ignorant unenlightened people refuse to recognise just how special Beerback and Hardback really are. 😅
Seems that pointing out how the Brussels club and their cronies have shut themselves off from criticism (and got 90% of the news media on their side) is enough to get your comment auto-muted. Business as usual, U2!
Why are these comments so projective? There's no need to even twist anything, the entire comment ridicules itself when put in a slightly different context.
Exactly the same here in the UK. They want the collapse of our countries and the west, the ways to stop all of these bad things happening is obvious but for some reason we are expected to believe that they are actually trying to stop it and just have no clue. I do not buy it, this is being done on purpose, deliberately, they know how to fix things, they know what needs to be done, EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT ALL, but, for some reason THEY don’t, no, they are working only to destroy our countries and the west, that is clear. They will be getting paid insane amounts of money to destroy the west, of that i am in no doubt, they simply do not care about the west and “cant” fix it because fixing it is not their agenda, their agenda is clearly about destroying the west, nothing less.
There's also the arrogance of the Arts and Humanities graduates in the political bubble attempting to control national industries that require STEM knowledge and understanding as well as Business and Market Dynamics. And yes, it's not much different in the UK.
It wasn't long ago when Ursula Fondoflying announced that the Russian economy is crumbling. Perhaps she ought to have a good look at what's going on in the EU.
@@mladenmatosevic4591 Ursula is an agent of Washington DC. My opinion on the matter is that her purpose is actually rather straight forward--------US has to consume something to live, China and Russia were too tough to consume, so EU is the only option left and hence why despite US itself is not shedding any blood over Ukraine, it is using political influence to push EU to smack itself on the wall. And frankly, it is working.
Antony Blinken wrote a book in 1987, while he was still in his 20's, called "Ally vs Ally", in which he opposed strongly against the building of the trans Siberia gas pipleine where Russia gas would be transported to Germany. The war in Ukraine was planned more than 35 year ago and Germany was doomed the day he became Sec of State.
Blinken also made plenty attempt to pit China against Russia and it didn't work. A major nation don't just become doomed because someone is malicious to you, because when you are large enough, there ALWAYS be people who plans your down fall. Germany is doomed because its own incompetence.

Not really immigration as much as 20 million refugees unleashed by 20 years of US wars in Middle East and North Africa, not to mention the millions from Ukraine.
There will be a Germany, but without Germans. Apparently, the Greeks cannot rejoice enough about the extinction. So the question will be which Islamic nation will take over Germany, I'll guess the Turks. Then there is the (rail) connection between Turkey and Germany.
Destroying EU and keeping NATO is worst thing Europe can do. That would mean economic end of Europe. See how is going for well connected UK since Brexit.

All the mainstream German parties are basically 1 uniparty. They might have some differences here and there, but on the main issues they agree on 99% of things. So you are never getting any real change in the country. And like in the rest of Europe the German political mainstream elites are captured/conditioned by the US to think they need the US for everything. Just the very thought that if they displease the US the US would leave Europe has them scared so sh1tless they will do whatever the US tells them to do, even if it is immensely detrimental to their own country.

I dont think the european voters have yet woken up to the fact that they don't have the luxury of voting for all these different parties. I am of the firm belief that mass unemployment is the answer. Loss of life in wars like Ukraine is an irrelevance. Hitting the EU voter in the pocket will clarify their virtue signalling priorities.
That's why elections in Germany may get more interesting than anticipated. The people who have been voting for these policies are losing their well-paid jobs in 100,000s.

Nothing is more obvious in this world than that Germany does not need Russian energy. Who doesn't know that Germany fought two world wars without Russian energy. Nevertheless, Germany fought two world wars with Russia, the UK, and the USA. The third time is the charm, German will start the third world war under the second coming of Adolf.
Everyone can see Germany is done financially politically and socially- therefore EU is toast - which is probya good thing in the long run - maybe countries will start to look after their own people and trade together for good!

FYI - The European Hi-Tech disasters also reached Britain, who set up the "Cambrdge Group" in the 1980s as Britain's 'Silicon Valley'. Long story, short - It produced some successfull software, but it had the life sucked out of it by the 'City of London', who hoovered up the talent, with obscenely large salaries, to produce on-line financial trading systems. All of the origonal projects died of obsolescence, the remains were sold off. Everything is gone.
I would argue, that immobilism struck Europe not only on industrial and political, but even on sociological level. It is terryfying how many people in EU are accustomed to idle, consumptionist model of life and cannot see the faults of their ways even if said faults are kicking them on the rear HARD.

It wasn't always like this, back in the 1990s there were powerful healthy movements questioning the EU and neo-lib globalizaton from the left, even from within Labour parties.
Dang. It would have worked, but was spoiled only because ignorant unenlightened people refuse to recognise just how special Beerback and Hardback really are. 😅
Seems that pointing out how the Brussels club and their cronies have shut themselves off from criticism (and got 90% of the news media on their side) is enough to get your comment auto-muted. Business as usual, U2!
All because of pathetic ideology
Why are these comments so projective? There's no need to even twist anything, the entire comment ridicules itself when put in a slightly different context.

Exactly the same here in the UK.
They want the collapse of our countries and the west, the ways to stop all of these bad things happening is obvious but for some reason we are expected to believe that they are actually trying to stop it and just have no clue.
I do not buy it, this is being done on purpose, deliberately, they know how to fix things, they know what needs to be done, EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT ALL, but, for some reason THEY don’t, no, they are working only to destroy our countries and the west, that is clear.
They will be getting paid insane amounts of money to destroy the west, of that i am in no doubt, they simply do not care about the west and “cant” fix it because fixing it is not their agenda, their agenda is clearly about destroying the west, nothing less.
There's also the arrogance of the Arts and Humanities graduates in the political bubble attempting to control national industries that require STEM knowledge and understanding as well as Business and Market Dynamics.

Ursula Mobilephonelying??

In that case, Germany is buried under debris? 😂
@@mladenmatosevic4591 Ursula is an agent of Washington DC. My opinion on the matter is that her purpose is actually rather straight forward--------US has to consume something to live, China and Russia were too tough to consume, so EU is the only option left and hence why despite US itself is not shedding any blood over Ukraine, it is using political influence to push EU to smack itself on the wall.
And frankly, it is working.
Antony Blinken wrote a book in 1987, while he was still in his 20's, called "Ally vs Ally", in which he opposed strongly against the building of the trans Siberia gas pipleine where Russia gas would be transported to Germany. The war in Ukraine was planned more than 35 year ago and Germany was doomed the day he became Sec of State.
With all due respect, I cannot believe that Blikn actually wrote anything in his life ... copied, borrowed, plagiarised .. but original work doubtful
Blinken also made plenty attempt to pit China against Russia and it didn't work.
A major nation don't just become doomed because someone is malicious to you, because when you are large enough, there ALWAYS be people who plans your down fall.
Germany is doomed because its own incompetence.

How did Germany allow its self to get into such a mess have they lost their minds
All the mainstream German parties are basically 1 uniparty. They might have some differences here and there, but on the main issues they agree on 99% of things. So you are never getting any real change in the country. And like in the rest of Europe the German political mainstream elites are captured/conditioned by the US to think they need the US for everything. Just the very thought that if they displease the US the US would leave Europe has them scared so sh1tless they will do whatever the US tells them to do, even if it is immensely detrimental to their own country.

one of the reasons usa blowing up the pipelines cutting of cheap russian energy
The blame needs to be on their energy policies..them going anti nuclear has come back to bite them
if you believe nuclear radiatation is hazardous than you are wrong. the nuclear plants were not dealing with spent fuel in a sustainable manner. however, i agree 100% that all these energy initiatives were obviously and patently not done rationally and everyone who looked at it - really - saw it did not make sense. phasing out - possibly - nuclear and re-examining energy production and consumption every 3 years is reasonable. nothing that has been done has been reason-able.

I dont think the european voters have yet woken up to the fact that they don't have the luxury of voting for all these different parties. I am of the firm belief that mass unemployment is the answer. Loss of life in wars like Ukraine is an irrelevance. Hitting the EU voter in the pocket will clarify their virtue signalling priorities.
That's why elections in Germany may get more interesting than anticipated. The people who have been voting for these policies are losing their well-paid jobs in 100,000s.

FYI - The European Hi-Tech disasters also reached Britain, who set up the "Cambrdge Group" in the 1980s as Britain's 'Silicon Valley'. Long story, short - It produced some successfull software, but it had the life sucked out of it by the 'City of London', who hoovered up the talent, with obscenely large salaries, to produce on-line financial trading systems. All of the origonal projects died of obsolescence, the remains were sold off. Everything is gone.

I would argue, that immobilism struck Europe not only on industrial and political, but even on sociological level.
