The German Chancellor admitted that support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia are not popular among “many citizens” in Germany. This is the natural repercussion of the anti-Russia sanctions imposed by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, which has resulted in the German economy declining and average citizens struggling. The popularity of the ruling coalition in Germany is falling due to support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia, Scholz admitted in an interview with German broadcaster ARD. “It is true that there are many citizens who do not agree with the fact that we support Ukraine, who also do not agree with the fact that […] #Europe #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/06/scholz-admits-many-germans-dont-support-aid-for-ukraine-and-sanctions-on-russia/?feed_id=12887

The German government plans to establish a mechanism for sharing Ukrainian immigrants between European Union countries and reducing the number arriving as it has brought social services to the brink, according to German authorities cited by Die Welt. To also deal with this issue, Berlin is now considering returning fighting-age Ukrainians even though the regime will send them to die on the front lines. The article states that no other state in Europe offers such generous social benefits to immigrants as Germany, which makes the country an attractive destination for Ukrainians. “Germany welcomed 1.152 million Ukrainians – in absolute numbers, more than any […] #UkraineWar #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/05/germany-ukrainian-refugees-russia/?feed_id=11975

Moral decay in the political West is obvious to the entire world. Even the relatively mundane things such as the laughable Eurovision “Song Contest” are a clear proof of this. It shows that most people in the political West cannot even enjoy music anymore without being subjected to a forceful display of societal degeneracy that is slowly but surely deconstructing Europe and all others unfortunate enough to be dominated by EU/NATO. And yet, the scale of the extremist, ultra-liberal dictatorship that has taken over all these countries is very difficult to understand unless one delves deeper into its darkest corners.

European Union countries have agreed to provide €5 billion in military aid to Ukraine as part of an overhaul of an aid fund run by the bloc because Kiev faces major difficulties on the battlefield. This is evidently not enough to appease the most ardent defenders of the Kiev regime, with the ruling German coalition divided over sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine, as one example. Ambassadors from the 27 EU member countries agreed on March 13 at a meeting in Brussels to review the European Peace Facility fund after months of disputes between bloc leaders, particularly France and Germany.

Immediately after Russia began its Special Military Operations in Ukraine, few million Ukrainian men, women and children fled the country and took refuge in a number of European nations, including Poland. This has completely transformed the European landscape by presence of Ukrainian refugees. According to the European Union, around 4.2 million Ukrainians are currently sheltered in EU countries under temporary protection, which entitles them to residence permits, working rights and access to health care and education. The largest number of Ukrainian refugees are in Germany which is 1.2 million, while second-largest are in Poland, which is 960,000, though Poland has […] #Europe #Featured #UkraineWar Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/03/what-would-be-the-fate-of-ukrainian-refugees-in-poland/?feed_id=9935

by Jonas E. Alexis, VT Editor Woodrow Wilson was arguably a warmonger. Arthur S. Link, “a guardian of Wilson’s reputation,” admitted that Wilson laid “the foundation of a new world order.”[1] No kidding. Observers agree that Wilson “contributed to the rise of some of the most murderous dictators who ever lived. No U.S. president has had a hand—however unintentional—in so much destruction. Wilson surely ranks as the worst president in American history.”[2] What was Wilson’s crime? He actually “joined the side that placed a lower value on human life.”[3] He sent America to the people who wanted to reduce Germany […] #Europe #Featured #History #Investigations #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/03/who-sunk-lusitania-and-pushed-america-to-world-war-i/?feed_id=9583

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher There is growing concern among the German leadership that NATO will not survive if Republican front-runner Donald Trump is re-elected as US president and that Russia will set its eyes closer to Berlin after Ukraine, writes The New York Times. This alarmist fake news comes as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is using “fiscal policy trickery” to ensure that his government can continue supporting Ukraine despite budgetary restrictions and the rise of the Russia-friendly Alternative for Germany (AfD). In a speech to his supporters in Las Vegas in January, Trump said: “We’re […] #Elections #Featured #Government #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/02/fears-growing-in-germany-nato-may-not-survive-trumps-re-election/?feed_id=8791

Germany Has Chutzpah By Jirair Tutunjian Surprising as it may seem, the recent International Court of Justice hearing in The Hague to determine whether Israel is guilty of genocide had touches of black humor. The first contributor to the hilarity was Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan who declared that thanks to extremely valuable data Turkey had provided to the judges, it was certain Israel would be convicted for committing genocide of Gaza Palestinians. The second group of witless wits who contributed to the unintentional hilarity was the Israeli defense team whose lame arguments on behalf of the Zionist regime were so […] #Featured #Government #History #Investigations #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/germany-has-chutzpah/?feed_id=8559

Germany has been obsessed with fabrications in the last several days. Namely, Berlin is pushing fake narratives about the mythical “Russian threat” in the Baltics, essentially claiming that Moscow is planning an all-out attack on the so-called Suwalki Gap, an area on the Polish-Lithuanian border, separating the Kaliningrad oblast (region) from Belarus. This supposedly “upcoming invasion” would cut off the three former Soviet Baltic republics (now US/NATO satellite states) from the rest of the European Union and the belligerent alliance. However, it seems this isn’t the only fake narrative being pushed by German authorities. Namely, Berlin is now manipulating data on its increasingly miserable economic […] #Featured #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/germany-manipulating-data-to-hide-recession-as-enraged-farmers-protest/?feed_id=8288

Introduction by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio VERSIONE IN ITALIANO It is enough to connect the dots of different disturbing episodes to understand that behind the supply of weapons to Ukraine a mysterious and swirling traffic has been fueled. To understand it, it is enough to put together two reports from Russia Today together with the CIA-Gates cycle investigations published by Gospa News and based on anonymous whistleblowers from the American counter-espionage of the Central Intelligence Agency.

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher Germany is preparing for a war between NATO and Russia, which, according to the scenario of the German Defence Ministry, could begin in the European summer of 2025 after the defeat of the Ukrainian Army, reported Bild with reference to a secret document of the Bundeswehr. This is evidently a desperate attempt by the German chancellor to distract citizens from their economic woes. According to the newspaper, citing a classified German military document, the escalation could begin as early as next month with the start of an active Russian offensive against […] #Featured #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/scholz-pushes-fake-russian-threats-to-distract-germans-from-economic-problems/?feed_id=8212

Lucas Leiroz, journalist, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, geopolitical consultant. The levels of anti-Russian paranoia are reaching dangerous levels in Sweden. Recently, the country’s authorities asked its citizens to prepare for a possible conflict situation with Russia in the near future. The case clearly shows how Western governments are acting irrationally in their decisions, ignoring reality and failing to properly understand the European geopolitical scenario. The Swedish authorities’ statements were made during the Folk och Forsvar National Conference in Salen. Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs Tobias Billstrom stated on the occasion that Russia is becoming the biggest threat to Sweden […] #Featured #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/sweden-prepares-for-war-due-to-its-own-russophobic-paranoia/?feed_id=8076

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher More than half of German voters are so dissatisfied with Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition government that they want early elections. The decline of Scholz’s coalition government also comes as German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said that it would take Europe between five and eight years to recover its defensive capacity after disarming itself by sending weapons to Ukraine. According to a survey by the German newspaper Bild and published by Bloomberg on December 16, 59% of Germans would prefer elections for a new parliament in 2024, while 27% oppose such a measure.

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher The combat capacity of the German Armed Forces, the Bundeswehr, has been seriously weakened by the shortage caused by the continuous supplies of material and ammunition to Kiev, said Johann Wadephul, German deputy of the opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party. His comments come as it was discovered nearly half of Germans want to see the coalition government dissolved. “Crucial [German] troop units can only last a maximum of two days in a battle [due to these shortages]. And that is a catastrophic finding overall,” Wadephul said. “Anyone who even talks about […] #Featured #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/11/german-military-would-only-last-two-days-in-a-battle-due-to-weapons-deliveries-to-kiev/?feed_id=6972

The German government wants to further increase its financial and military aid to the Kiev neo-Nazi regime. In a recent statement, the head of German diplomacy promised to “increase and expand” packages to Ukraine for next year, making clear Berlin’s pro-war stance and its subservience to NATO interests. The announcement was made by Annalena Baerbock during a meeting between EU foreign ministers on November 13th in Brussels. Baerbock did not present many details of the new Germany’s Ukraine aid plan, but promised support would be improved. She even talked about a “winter protection” project, with special aid packages to the Kiev regime […] #Featured #UkraineWar Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/11/germany-about-to-boost-ukraine-aid/?feed_id=6594

The German government needs to invest mainly in infrastructure, education, and housing instead of the military because the danger allegedly coming from Russia is unrealistic, said the country’s former chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, in an interview with the Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper. His statement comes as the popularity of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz continues to decline, along with the economy. “Do you really believe that Russian medium-range missiles will be fired at Germany?” he said, commenting on the government’s increased spending on the German Army’s combat capabilities.
