There is nothing like the cliff’s edge of national disaster to set things straight and remove the blinds on the eyes of people wishfully living in an alternate reality of their own making. This winter has been one such event.
With one of the coldest winters in recent history, the Green Machine of Germany energy policy has been shown for the disaster that it is. Solar panels covered in ice and snow generate no electricity and with constant cloud cover, cleaning them off is useless as well. With no wind, 30,000+ turbines generate nothing as well, but the beasts sure like to drink electricity to keep their motors warmed in the subfreezing temperatures. Nuclear power is passe and shut down and only a skeletal crew of coal burning electricity generation stations are left to keep Germany from turning into a 19th century version of itself, except that few homes have anything left that can heat the house on wood or coal, without central power. As for gas, it is not enough and without Nord Stream 2 the Germans are now feeling every freezing bit of that low stock as their pocket books are being drained by growing prices.
Mother Merkel playing to the tune of her owners in DC has brought Germany to the very edge of total disaster and has shown everyone the failure of her policies. Add to this that Russia, who supplies over 30% of Germany’s energy needs, is plainly stating to the Euros that it has zero interest in prolonging a farce of a relationship with the condescending clowns that run the EU(SSR) and its member republics and most Germans have to be ideologically blind not to see what fate awaits them.
This is even more so evident with Germany’s Foreign Minister Maas, a man who positioned himself as an ultra-russophobe suddenly doing a 180 change. Maas who is desperately trying to position himself as a true replacement for Merkel, who herself is trying to find a cushy high paid job in the EU or US, has stated this in relations to DC’s endless dictates to vassal Germany: “does not need to talk about European sovereignty if that is understood as us [Germany] doing everything in future the way Washington wants.”
He went on to state that: “The German government will not change its stance on Nord Stream 2,” adding: “The important thing is that we are aligned on the central strategic and geopolitical issues, where we are on the same side of the field.”
Waldemar Herdt of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) put it more plainly: “Whatever the situation is in America, one thing unites them all – a huge unwillingness to see constructive and businesslike development of relations between Russia and Germany.”
The truth of the matter is that 1. Germany needs Russia a lot more than Russia needs Germany 2. Europe in all her uber-hypocricy needs Russia a lot more than Russia needs Europe and Russia knows this and now acknowledges this, stating plainly several times, such as the meeting between FM Lavrov and EU(SSR) FM Borrell, that the EU is an unreliable partner to deal with. 3. economic isolation of a nation with vast trading networks with China, SE Asia, India, Africa and Latin America, means an isolated Europe from the 5th largest economy in the world, a full service economy that no one EU(SSR) republic can hold a claim to.
Laid out even more starkly for all to see is the UK’s approach to freezing. A nation whose foreign policy is built upon being Washington’s mindless yap dog and being as russophoic as possible, short of throwing and receiving missiles, the UK has signed a contract to take 3 tankers full of RUSSIAN LNG, yes, they want Russian “tyranny” LNG vs the American “freedom” gas, which also happens to be twice as expensive. But what’s hypocrisy when your bullocks are freezing? It’s the English way.
Another stark example is Sputnik V. The total incompetence of the alcohol ridden mega stars in the EU(SSR) is again on display in the form of the signed contract with AstraZenica, that set terms of delivery as “best effort”. Well it turns out that “best effort” is to deliver to the UK, which pays more and has hard schedules set in their contract. The EU(SSR) commissars decided to ban all exports to the EU to force a rerouting of supplies.
Additionally, after 8 months of deriding and laughing at the Russian vaccine work, all of the EU(SSR), except for Hungary, suddenly finds itself in another hypocritical situation. President Orban of Hungary is the only European leader who actually has a working brain and cares about his people. Hungary showed the EU(SSR) the middle finger on the EU(SSR)’s decree that Sputnik V would not be allowed in the EU(SSR) and went ahead and registered it and delivered it to its people, producing it locally with Russian assistance. At this point, Orban has got to have that feeling he is back in the Warsaw Pact…being scolded, ordered around and colour revolutioned by the EU(SSR) elites.
As desperation, body count, economic catastrophe and revolts mount in the fumbling circus of the member republics, one by one, starting with russophobic Czech and moving on to Germany and France, the EU(SSR) member republics are making weak noises that they want it to, not that anyone in Russia was overtly pushing or hurrying to deliver. Russia’s Sputnik V is now being used and produced by some 20 countries accounting for almost 2 billion souls and with two dozen nations lined up, Europe is just not on the front burners.
One would think this a bad Keystone Cops episode if one was to forget that the lives of over 400 million people are trapped in this circus of the absurd and inept. This writer can assure you, his stocks of popcorn are prepared for the wild ride of 2021 or as one person put it: twenty-twenty WON.
