The Emerging German-Russian Axis
Submitted by Charles Gave via Gavekal Dragonomics,
This weekend has seen the European Union do a stitch-up deal so that arch-federalist Jean-Claude Juncker became Commission president. To be honest, who gets to play eurocrat in chief is of no great interest to me, but the manner of the appointment tells us lots about the changing nature of power in Europe. Governments from Stockholm to Rome reportedly opposed Juncker, but ultimately none would defy Berlin. Also this weekend, it is worth noting some ostensibly bland comments by Vladimir Putin at a German-Russian official function: “We value the accumulated potential of Russian-German relations and the high level of trade and economic cooperation. Germany, one of the European Union leaders, is our most important partner in enhancing peace, global and regional security.”
I would contend that we are seeing a decisive shift in the political character of Eurasia. History tells us that long wars have tended to be fought between maritime empires and continental empires. Think of Athens vs. Sparta, Carthage vs. Rome or Britain vs. Napoleonic France. The last big fight was between the US and the Soviet Union ended in favor of the maritime empire. As a result, since 1989 we have lived in an order ultimately run by the US military. But after some unpleasantness playing the role of global policeman, that maritime empire is in retreat.
The consequence of this move toward isolation is that a bunch of ‘continental empires’ are starting to challenge the monopoly of “legal” international violence that the US has exercised for the last 25 years. The most obvious challengers can be seen in the shape of Sunni Muslims across the Middle East, or in East Asia where a more confident and assertive China is stating its case for preeminence. Such struggles have the potential to become major regional problems, but what worries me more is the emerging continental alliance between Russia and Germany. Preventing such a partnership has for centuries been an idée fixe for French diplomacy, and for good reason. A combination of German industrial might and Russian raw materials and military strength would instantly create a colossus. The Poles, who have been perennial victims of engagements between Germany and Russia, are already visibly panicking, as they should be.
Historically, Paris has tended to ally with the Russians, not because it liked them but to prevent Germany from doing the same. The problem is that France has nothing to offer Russia (save some nice holiday homes and mooring berths for tycoons on its Mediterranean coast) and is, in any case, more focused on perfecting its own political and economic suicide.
This leaves the UK as the only shield against an alliance in the east. But this weekend we saw a clear statement of where Berlin sees its interests. Soothing words of “don’t go” may have been offered to London after the Juncker vote, but the incident has confirmed that the landscape has shifted from a European Germany to a German Europe.
The UK now seems set on a path to leave the EU within four years. The chances of London achieving the kind of root-and-branch treaty change that would keep it in the EU must rank as being close to nil. And as Winston Churchill said: “England does not belong to Europe, it belongs to the seas.” As was the case in the mid-20th century, the UK is unlikely to join a continental empire as a junior member and, when decision time arrives, it will stay allied with the US-led maritime empire.
In the old system, Europe was a kind of protectorate of the US maritime empire, a set-up that worked reasonably well. The challenge to the status quo comes from the east where Vladimir Putin has the clear goal of creating a new Russian/German alliance whose fief will run through Eastern Europe. If he succeeds, this will be a major loss for the maritime empire, especially if the UK has removed itself as an EU player.
There will be major political repercussions in the US from such a political carve up. The question will not only be how did “we” come to lose Asia and the Middle East, but also “our” most reliable and pliable ally—Europe.

Yes there are. Just off the top of my head, I can think of two major examples within modern times,
Look up, "Three Emperors' League" (or under its German name, the "Dreikaiserbund").
Think Bismarck FTW.
Then look up, "Holy Alliance."
Think Tsar Alexander and Prince Metternich FTW.
Molotov-ribbentrop pact part two
No...not even close...Reinsurance Treaty Number 2
link?
Resurrection of the Holy Alliance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinsurance_Treaty
It's easy to find...google Reinsurance Treaty...my point is the relationship between Russia & Germany is historically long and strong...if Bismarck was Chancellor in 1914 ( he was dead by then) WWI would have never happened....people need to realize that Modern Europe starts (IMO) at the Congress of Vienna in ~ 1814-1815 and there is improtant/significant European history BEFORE WWII and Adolf.
Thank you for pointing out a few facts, largely unknown, I suspect, to American readers.
While there was that little incident long ago at the Neva, most of the German-Russian "rivalry" has indeed been diligently promoted by the French over many, many years:
"Let's you and him fight!"
The prerequisite for global war began with Japan! That's right Japan... and, its autarky was grossly insufficient, having an Emperor as a living 'GOD'[diety]?incarnate-- which demanded moar respect...?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Sino-Japanese_War The Japanese win with a superior navy and army (the airforce was incorporated in the Army-- spotting ballons and later bi-planes designed by the French http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotting_balloons ) as (8-1-1894/ 4-7-1895 ~ six months) Note1: The Japanese victory has for the first time in history, shifted the overall regional dominace in East Asia to Japan alone. Note2: This was the beginning of the Qing (the Qing Dynasty was imploding long before its demise) Dynasty downfall that collapsed officially in 1912... which incidentially was the incendiary (spontaneously ignites an empire conquest for Eurasia) for WWI, which starts ~ 2 yrs. later on 7-28-1914
Japan wasn't satisfied! No, not at all? Japan has a war with Russia and wins! The war lasted ~ 18 months (2-8-1904/ 9-5-1905). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Japanese_War
Really??? Before the 1860s Germany was a loose confederation and weak. They posed no threat to Tsarist Russia.
World War I was a German War against Russia. In World War II it was more of the same.
What are you smoking?
Tom,
You need to read A. Solzhenitsyn - August 1914 How anyoneone can say any one party is to blame for starting WW1 is sophmoric
I am not writing that any one party started Word War I. Where did I write that?
Germany made the declaration of war against Russia.
But the war had been brewing for some time previous to that.
But I have not read Solzhenitsyn's "August, 1914" as of yet.
But presently I am concerned with more current events.
However I am certain that will give me a greater breadth of understanding of this nightmare as the seeds for the upcoming conflict were sown then since History is on a continuum.
without all the geopolitics. asassinaion, austria mobilizes against serbia, russia mobilizes against austria, germany mobilizes against russia because of treaty obligations. previously germany austria and russia had non aggression pact that lapsed allowing this shit war to happen. so many good men gone\
shut up and read some history
Putin certainly knows how to be a brute force guy but compared to everyone else right now he look like Bismarck...he is playing a long game...trying to cover his weaknesses and take advantage of his opponent's weaknesses. Time works for him IF he is careful...let the other waste resources and extend himself.
So far he has exercised a lot of patience with regards to Ukraine and the bluster and rhetoric of the Americans - Nuland, Biden, Kerry, Obama, McCain et al.
The keys are Germany and Turkey. Win them over to his way of thinking by being patient, dispassionate and logical - in comparison to the monkeys in the US State Department - Nuland et al and he wins.
NATO will be dead in the water when its evicted from Germany & Turkey, the UK will end up out of the EU in a couple of years when the political class in the UK starts campaigning for it. UKIP is just ahead of the curve at the moment.
This is all going to play out over the next few years.
During which there will be a financial/ economic crisis.
The question is - will that translate into armed conflict and potentially World War 3? That is the great unknown. My sense is Obama would try and avoid WW3, but his 'handlers' and many of the crazier neocons around him would love to go and whoop some Russian ass! etc. etc.
By the way - the election of Hillary Clinton as President in 2016 - if it happens - would seal the deal on all of this. She has demonstrated no ability to see outside the narrow confines that have been provided for her in an effort to appear "tough". And "tougher" than Obama.
Idiot.
Good points and your are spot on because without the massive infrastructure and bases both in Turkey and Germany that support large American military forces, NATO becomes irrevelant and the US ability to project power into Eastern Europe & Middle East becomes minimal and nonexistant Central Asia.
Putin is a thug and a Russian strongman but he is certainly playing his somewhat limited hand a lot better than his inept and outmanuevered US counterparts. Pushed the US off his door step, has been careful to not outright push the EU into US/NATO camp (eg an outright Russian military invasion of Ukraine or the former Baltic republics would instantly do that), and been strengthing the Russian position everywhere. Only holdouts have been the stouted US allies including Japan and the UK.
Good article
winston churchill like the later leader edward heath raped and killed children winston had them burnt and buried on the land heath at sea.
heath funny enough was the guy that got the uk into the eec later eu based on rape blackmail.
the uk and israel with belgium runs the biggest rape and child killing blackmail machine in history.
sounds wacky stop smokin the reefer tony you may say how about the police running and the mi5 filming it all for future control.
800 kids and baby body parts was found in a well in ireland recently nobody fuckin cares.
that kind of killing field would never be found in the uk because all these fucks have a common masonic purpose with a backbone of dodgy video and photo evidence too keep them in line.
Heath was an Organ man as I recall.
for the downvoters, read this

Huh? What is the story about the new Jesuit Pope being removed at any moment? I wish I know what the German Pope was essentially ousted for the Jesuit. The German one seemed to be the lesser of two evils.
I just read it and it's legit. Not surprised the media won't touch it.
That is the truth too Tony but unfortunately it is too hard for many to accept.
800 kids and baby body parts was found in a well in ireland
Tony, that's grossly inaccurate and irresponsible. Those kids died of natural causes over many many years. They were buried next to a formal graveyard, not 'thrown down a well'. The burials were unceremonious because the mothers 'conceived in sin'. No, I don't like it either and it reflects terribly on the Ireland of the time. But to suggest they were killed as part of some dastardly sexual or body part scheme is scandalously inaccurate.
No, not thrown down a well, thrown in a dis-used septic tank. Many of the bodies when examined were seen to have wizened limbs & poor of bone density. All symptoms of malnutrition and serious neglect. So maybe not a 'dastardly sexual or body part scheme', but actually, is the serial abuse of little children (in some cases taken away from the mothers whn they were 3yrs old or more) any better...
Can you tell us what you've been smoking? Think I'll skip that drug..
When Germany or France leave NATO I will start believing this tripe. Until then like the majority of countries on this planet Germany is enslaved in the empire.
LOL how about when the USA leaves all those bases in Europe and stops being an information and intelligence parasite, stealing state secrets and technology from the Euros
Does the FSB pay well?
ghehehe funny.
regardless... I'm a european, and the USA government has behaved like a bully, trying to FORCE europeans in accepting GMOs.
spying on the european government and also on the people. trying to sabotage our state of law with "free trade agreements"
bribing politicians so we're stuck with a very corrupt bunch of arseholes as our "leaders".
this is all very stupid and unnecessary. we could be trading with the russians AND the americans. (which I do, myself)
we want peace, not some half stupid half evil bunch of CFR, Chatham House and CSIS pushing us all into chaos.
it just makes NO sense.
Why would the U.S. do that voluntarily? Nations have interests not friends..
Germany and France effectively left Nato many years ago - neither have standing armies of any size and very small military budgets. Without US troops planes, machines and equipment, Nato is nothing.
or you could say the militairy budget (and on top of that, black budgets) is out of control, and indicative of imperialism.
"The UK now seems set on a path to leave the EU within four years."
So the City of London Wankers are prepared to exit the lucrative club? And the UK Politicians will relinquish their EC sinecures and their contingent of overpaid tax-free salaried bureaucrats in Brussels? Interesting theory.
The European Medicines Agency would presumably also have to be vacated and reopened in Frankfurt? Would free up some pretty commercial RE. [European Medicines Agency /7 Westferry Circus /Canary Wharf /London/ E14 4HB
United Kingdom http://www.ema.europa.eu/ ]
The average Brit believes everything negative in their life eminates from the EU, in the same way yanks blame blacks n mexicans for their ills, so I can see the UK leaving the EU when given the chance. I'm not sure how many American banks will be interested in London when they lose access to the EU market - can you really see Paris and Frankfurt allowing the City to eat their lunch if they're not in the club?
The UK is looking like it'll shoot itself in the foot several times before it realises its place in the world.
UK and most other EU nations already shot themselves in the foot by letting every Tom, Dick and Harry in unfettered from the southern hemisphere. Same path as US is on.
Pipeline thru Belarus Latvia into Austria to Germany. New pipeline.
Darn good option and thinking 10mm, it will bypass the EU technocrats who seem to be working for NATO and USA. IT seems to me there are two camps forming up in Europe. One that wants to do what is best for them and move along with the Russians on deals without the dollar, and the other faction controlled by the banking cartel who are parasites.
Good idea, pipelines need to stay away from Ukraine and Poland. In fact if as the article says the Poles are so worried about Germany and Russia maybe they should change their approach and stop acting like they are still in a war with the czars. Poland is it's own worst enemy. Well their leadership gives them a lot of help there just like in the US. Poland has some characteristics of the US, the people are given total subjagation and told to call it democracy.
Yes Poland is at it again with reports flying around that it was Polsih pilots flying Ukraine aircraft shot down by the eastern provinces of the Ukraine.
Incidentally there are unsubstantiated reports on the Saker site indicating that unmarked and unidentified aircraft have been flying low and shooting down Ukraine aircraft??!!
How does one go from Belarus to Latvia and then into Austria?
Minimum two degrees of separation from either no matter what route you take.
Where do Latvia and Austria share a border?
Northstream goes under the baltic and dumps gas in the northern part of Germany, So if you laid another pipeline down there to bring more gas to Germany Voila, the extra gas coming into germany can be diverted to Austria through the current infrastructure...
seriously??
http://rt.com/business/168044-austria-russia-south-stream/
who are the idiots upvoting this? austria is supporting south stream, which is miles apart from latvia and belarus
can we bring our troops home from germany now?
Yes, take em home....get loost!
thank you very much and fuck you too
Your troops are a useless bunch of motherfuckers
Not so useless, they are technology and information leeches, those bases are staffed by grunts but also by many intelligence operatives stealing any secrets and technology they can.
too bad the maggots are in charge or this shit would be a done deal.
Yes, but they are ours and I support them.
They do nothing to uphold The US Constitution or to protect American citizens from the NWO.
Do you?
Have you taken up arms? Have you destroyed property? PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND THAT YOU HAVE.
IF YOU HAVE, THEN GOOD. DO NOT INCRIMINATE YOURSELF.
The point is that the troops are just as indoctrinated as the Zombies. They do not know any better.
It would be like holding my 7 Year old niece accountable for not knowing how to integrate a simple exponential function. She does not know how...yet. She will.
The troops will also learn that they have been screwed.
The troops swear an oath at induction to uphold the US Constitution against all enemies ... foreign and domestic.
Look it up, its true.
How about everyone leave the EU except for the most recent 10 entrants.
There will be major political repercussions in the US from such a political carve up. The question will not only be how did “we” come to lose Asia and the Middle East, but also “our” most reliable and pliable ally—Europe.
Yawwwn...
Wake me when all our bases are closed in South Korea, Japan, Pacific Islands, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Afganistan, Turkey, Germany, and the UK have been closed; and oil and other commodities are no longer priced in dollars.
Until then, this is all just talk.

This global projection of power gets tiring and expensive.
I miss the pre-Wilson years of old when when didn't entangle ourselves in foreign affairs. /s
Of course we did. It was just limited to the Western Hemisphere mainly with a few exceptions including the Philippines where he committed genocide and practiced a brutal scorched earth campaign for 3 years to pacify the population after we 'liberated' them from the Spanish.
Great analysis but it only goes half way. You are missing out China. This will be the superpower alliance of the 21st Century. Probably starting with Russia/China.
First they will disable the dollar as a preventive strike to prevent the US from fighting back with its military and the end of NATO. A side effect will be the collapse of other currencies, leading to mainland Europe becoming financially Greater Germany. Scandinavia could become financially Greater Norway. The British Isles could become financially Great Britain (don't underestimate the ruthlessness of British bankers).
This would then become a giant trading block dealing with the US on its terms, not the other way round.
The US would finally have to deal with the consequences of raping the world with dollars over the past 40 years.
Very true, nobody likes getting shafted repeatedly. In chimp societies the lesser males have been known to gang up and kill the domineering and cruel alpha male who abused his authority.
When's The Chimp going to get some of his buddies and go after The Dick?
Wow, gee, and then your gold will go through the roof!
ha ha ha
Never in a million years will Germany risk war against TPTB in the US, and remember: they get 1/3rd of their energy from Russia, but they also just delivered 50% of their energy needs via solar. So... ehm, no.
BS !
The "sunny" weather in Germany cannot provide for 5% of their energy consumption, much less 50%.
Provide a credible source or get lost !
Since when did they start calling Russian Oil und Gas ' SOLAR ENERGY ? '
You are right!
After they dump all Treasury Bonds/FRN's for gold, they will peg to gold, through the BRICS GOLD BANK.
Goodbye USD, SWIFT, hegemony.
jim willie as a lonely source is not too credible, sorry mate. at least he should shut up about bases on the back side of the moon etc to be taken seriously. on the other hand, maybe that's a smart strategy to be ignored by tptb.
The Prussian Empire rises to replace the American Empire
Germany needs to reclaim its 1913 borders.
Hey! Maybe the Krauts and the Rooskies can cut a deal.
In fact, I'm certain the Krauts and the Rooskies can cut a deal.
Yeah...Like they did over Poland in 1939.
So sad but so true: "France is more focused on perfecting it's own political and economic suicide."
The UK can NEVER afford to leave Europe, because it needs Europe a lot more than Europe needs the UK.
But it will remain THE money haven for global despots. One of the few things it has going for it, besides tourism.
Sorry Kirk but seeing the unhumble abodes of the world's greatest welfare queen ranks rather low on my list of things to do and see in the world. That may change when I hit 90 and I want my ass in an AC bus
The UK is a net contributor to the EU.
The UK-EU trade balance is in the EU's favour.
But yes, the UK will remain the world's largest money-laundering centre.
Yep the tourism is grand; Even laying down ' beds of nails ' for the BUMS.
A colossus whose ass we could kick in five seconds. Nothing to see, here, people. Move along.
We'll just add the new colossus to the ever expanding list of nations who need a good ass kicking.
The last time Russia and Germany got together they divied up Poland between them.
Da! Your Poles are the European Gurks ( Hard as nails with shit for brains ).
I see an Israeli made warhead going off in Berlin should this happen!
The "high sign" will be another Israeli government strike.
Someone needs to send out our Teleprompter-in-chief to do another repeat like he did at the Hague in March...
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/obama-warns-russia-ukraine-adva...
Ironically from German submarines ...
But then it could also has a similar effect, like Hitler's party, right extremists coming to power and finishing what they might see as an "unfinished job"...
Ironically from German submarines ...
nidaar
So true and such strange bedfellows wrapped in the same "blanket", although that may be changing with these types of announcements... But I digress with some needed clarity on my earlier comments.
Obama made that announcement about his chief concerns and priorities of a "bomb" going off in Manhattan as more significant than a war with Russia for obvious reasons 1) 9/11 and Israels powers of observation 2) The Israelis closing all there embassies 4 days before Obama made that little announcment. 3) Explosives... conventional, nuclear or both which is why we haven't and most probably will never have a second investigation as long as AIPAC and the ADL exist in our Country
After all if they did before they will do it again -to get what they want, even if it means their German and American counterparts become victims again!
Think De Gaulle : From the Atlantic to the Urals, now becomes to Vladivostock; as Chindia rises.
"Governments from Stockholm to Rome reportedly opposed Juncker, but ultimately none would defy Berlin."
Not quite right. David Cameron voted against Juncket along with one other. The rest, yeah, said they would vote against but suffered a spinal collapse when the moment came.
"The UK now seems set on a path to leave the EU within four years.
It may seem like that from afar, but if/when a British In/Out referendum happens, a majority of Brits will vote to stay in. Fear of the unknown is the major reason.
_________________________________________________________
It's been clear to me for a long while that Merkel wants to align Germany with Russia. She comes from East Germany, was schooled in Russia and speaks the language fluently. Apart from that, where will Germany export its stuff to now that the EU is bankrupt?? Russia is the obvious choice. Huge potential demand there for BMWs, Mercs, Audis/VWs and Porsches.
And although many EU-crats won't admit it in public, they are mostly old commies and fascists and want to drag Europe towards Russia which is much more to their taste. They are working to create a new Eastern Empire that is bigger than the US Anglo-Saxon Empire.
Please do not forget that Russia is Germany's 4th largest export market.
Much of the exports are in the form of hi tech process equipment and machinery, manufactured by the backbone of Germany's economy - the family-owned business. German businessmen are protesting to Berlin, that any further economic sanctions will badly damage these businesses. If German businesses are not able to execute orders from Russia - if German banks are unwilling to finance these deals - then, the German manufacturers face the loss of this business to other manufacturers; the loss of repeat orders; and ultimate ruin.
What follows is a crude Google translation from a recent article on this subject:
http://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/2014/06/23/auftrags-einbrueche-bei-russland-geschaeft-fuer-maschinenbauer/Job slump in business in Russia for machine builders
German Economic news | 23:06:14, 13:27 | 16 comments
A significant drop in orders and financing problems burden the Russian
operations of the German machine builder. Within a month, the Russian
orders have fallen by 60 percent. In addition there exists due to
possible sanctions because of the Ukraine-conflict "extreme"
uncertainty, as industry representatives.
In business with Russia the German machine builders prepare in orders
and financing problems increasingly worried. Once the Exports declined
by 17 percent due to the already weak economy and the ruble decline in
the country in the first quarter, the industry now gets to feel the
effects of the Ukraine crisis. A survey of the industry association VDMA
in his company from mid-April to mid-May revealed that inquiries and
orders from Russia have gone back to over 60 percent. "There certainly
several factors come together," said Monika Hollacher of the VDMA
foreign trade on Monday to Reuters.
In addition to the economic slowdown would give to 45 percent of the
German mechanical engineering that funding problems made it difficult to
Russian business. There would also be order cancellations, delays in
import payments, payment defaults as well as delays in the export
control. In addition, because of possible further sanctions against
Russia rule before an "extreme" uncertainty. Many machine builders did
not know whether they still should accept an order from Russia. They
fear that this then can not be settled.
For the German machine builders Russia is the fourth most important
export market worldwide. Last year, the manufacturers had machinery and
equipment worth around 7.8 billion euros exported to Russia. That was
5.2 percent of total machinery exports all over the world. The main
products include construction and civil engineering machinery,
agricultural and materials handling equipment as well as tools and food
processing machines. The German Engineering Federation (VDMA) According
to Germany is the number one China, Italy and the U.S. in the
international machinery suppliers to Russia. The predominantly
medium-sized sector with approximately one million employees makes about
200 billion euros. It includes also listed companies such as
ThyssenKrupp, Gea or DMG Mori Seiki (formerly Gildemeister).
A colossus ( if it were to happen) that would be about 1/4 the size of the Anglosphere plus Japan
Russia has all of the resources needed and Germany needs resources without having to kiss battenburgs kosher ass. Russia is the largest country in the world also and it's military equipment is the best there is. It was meant to win wars and it does. (see F-35)
There is no doubt the Israeli underground would start a terror campaign in Germany however if Angie went against her family's orders (Rothschilds)
Angie, Porky and the Fuhrer all loved that triangle hand sign (sword of Longinus)
The Lance of Destiny to bend the world to you will?
And what war has Russian equipment won?
WW II for starters, you moron !
I suggest you look up the history behind Lend-Lease and refrain from calling people morons until you've educated yourself
Russian built T-34's rolled into Berlin, backed by Rusdian built rocket launchers, and supported by Russian infantry carrying Russian built weapons. Yes, Lend-Lease helped, especially with trucks, but there were only about 4000 Sherman's sent to Russia versus almost 400,000 trucks.
And ..the Sherman tank was gasoline sucking death trap.
that reply proves to me without a doubt that you don't know the history behind lend lease... I suggest you research further and try again
LOL! More like what future wars will crappy American hardware lose.

Will the USA get an invitation to join Eurasia?
I suppose so, provided they pay off their debt and promise to behave.
“The Foreign Policy of the German Empire since 1871 has been the maintenance of peace and the prevention of anti-German coalitions, and the pivot of this policy is Russia.” He also explained his philosophy of alliance to the Russian ambassador in these words. “You forget the importance of being a party of three on the European chess-board….Nobody wishes to be in a minority. All politics reduce themselves to this formula: try to be a trois in a world governed by five powers.”
Otto Von Bismarck (c.1870-ish)
Wash, rinse, repeat...
America has achieved what Napoleon could not- the unification of the eurasian landmass.
Aye aye captain so true
Putin is going to incorporate financial and cultural alternatives into his new Eurasia. Between FATCA and our home grown cultural marxism I expect he will gain a lot of friends, allies, customers, and clients as the world looks for an alternative.
"It is looking increasing likely that China will not sign an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the US on Fatca. This will be of huge concern to the US government because Fatca's strength is reliant upon every country in the world agreeing to abide by its rules. No other country in Asia has yet agreed to a Fatca IGA either, and countries in the region, and indeed across the world due to China's enormous - and growing - economic and political power, are influenced heavily by Beijing on such issues."
http://www.investmenteurope.net/investment-europe/feature/2252325/us-fat...
"The US still has no plans to restart talks with Moscow on Russian banks joining the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) as the the law comes into effect on Tuesday, a US Treasury representative said during a news conference.
“We have suspended our talks on FATCA with Russia, and they are still being suspended,”
Unless China overflows its Diaper.
Unless China overflows its Diaper.
It would take Greek style riots in the stretts for Germany to break away from the EU (and they were not even effective in Greece). If Germany managed it however, an alliance of Russia, China and Germany would indeed rule the world. China is the nearest thing to National Socialism on the planet today. They have a central ruling core, proper amounts of capitalism and their land space is for Chinese only, no one else need apply.
The US is out of the picture, too obsessed with trilateralism and not being powerful. Gomer will join with their brother Magog in these last days and turn forces toward Israel. As Israel grows more wealthy, Germany/Russia will be drawn with a hook in their mouth down to invade Israel, bringing Persia, the region of Armenia/Turkey and Somalia region with them. No Arab nations. Genesis 10, the toldot of the generations of Noah and their nations and Ezekiel 38-39 (39 being a retelling of 38), good reads. They will cover the hills of northern Israel like a thick cloud and they will be absolutely annihilated. Not by Israel, but the God of Israel, bec its HIS land. And he will rain fire down on Russia and "them that dwell carelessly in the isles" (39:6 meaning?), thus destroying once and for all the east-west balance of power, creating a vaccum to be filled by the One World Govt.

Your bullshit is why Kalki the big planet always ends this bullshit at the end of an age.
Sometime around 23 hundred years ago we see in the Mahabharata Ydhishthira has a vision of the age to come: I see the coming of another age, where barbaric kings rule over a vicious, broken world, where puny, fearful men live tiny lives, white hair at sixteen, copulating with animals, their women perfect whores, making love with greedy mouths. The cows dry, trees stunted, no more flowers, no more purity, ambition, corruption, the age of Kali, the black time."
Kalki by the way is the Greek winged globe, Navajo/Cheyenne planet of the crossing. errr Japanese red sun.
And that statement was under public notary by Constantine who wrote the biblio faslifying vedantic scripture, (he studied in India) before writing the biblio to fortify and dying Roman empire. Of course it is not dead. Get out of line and Guido will come visit you.
Guido? You're pretty rambling and esoteric, Mick. The holy scriptures are accurate and not told in secret. Have a Guiness for me, will ya?
...Constantine who wrote the biblio faslifying vedantic scripture...
The Greek Scripture predates Constantine and the Vulgate.
Furthermore the location of the Manuscripts were far from Rome. (Two orginate in Egypt, Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Alexandrius) Codex Sinaiticus is by far the most complete containing the Septuagint as well.
What do you expect- it is fucking cold in the Winter time without heat.
That is when people will leave the TV sets and run around the streets setting buildings on fire to stay warm. Should be an interesting winter in Europe and Ukraine. Me thinks the Euros will have to pay Ukes gas bill since they are behind the whole mess with the USA. After all the EU aholes were all beaming and smiling when they just got that association deal signed a few days back with the chocolate crook. Lets see who the cold Euro and Uke masses will be blaming once cold reality hits. I only hope we get one of those rare Siberian winters in the EU to wake the folks up.
The fascist will HARRP them to make sure they are good and cold if they step out of line...I hope not for all of our sake.
We now see the crux of why Europe wants no part of Obama's plan. The ramifications of Russia cutting off the flow of natural gas to Ukraine are massive and will immediately effect all of Europe. The idea of America getting involved or jumping into a war in Ukraine would have been hard to imagine a few years ago. The potential for this to escalate into a major shooting war is real.
Allowing events to deteriorate into a major war or possibly into what some see as World War III is insane. Remember the location of this as a military confrontation is right in Putin's backyard and this is a strong advantage for Russia. It is silly to think Putin and Russia will back down. This means poking the bear is not a smart move. More on this subject in the article below.

It is not Obama's plan. He is merely a passenger lacking the will or fortitude to stand up for what he preaches and show real leadership.
He is being driven by events because he is weak.
Look to folks like Nuland, Biden, Kerry, Brennan, McCain, Kagan et al who are the public faces of those behind the scenes.
Obama is their tool - he shows zero leadership on foreign policy and is merely an opportunistic mouthpiece.
It is Barry's Plan 'cause it says so on his teleprompter.
The other 6 ' circle of jerks ' are psychotic scum who will get their comeuppance very soon in real time. . .
Russia will not cut off natural gas to Europe; that would not be in their financial interest, but the price will go up to repair the pipelines the fascist will continue to blow up.
Corrrect, they just signed deal w/ Austria to finish South pipeline, going around Ukraine to Europe. This will accomodate shutting Ukraine down. Pay up Ukraine biatches, then prepay again! Putin says Checkmate, now fork over 8 billion of the IMF/EURO money or freeze!
lol all Obummer will be concerned with in the War Room will be whether he should have used a pitching wedge
The Russians have abundant oil and gas The Germans don't simple really.
Not to mention nickel, Palladian, wood products, and many other important raw materials.
The country spans 12 time zones and much of it is yet to be developed and with German engineering; who knows. But hey the US fascist can isolate a country with vast resources that cover 12 time zones & people actually believe that.
No. But we can nuke it, and ourselves, out of existence.
Remember that America is the only Nation to employ the use of Nukes in a War.
And American Military leadership believes it possible to win a nuclear war. The First Strike alternative is on the table.
It is not that I support a Nuclear War. (I do not.) But it is the truth.
plus, a lot of americans believe jesus only comes back after the big war...
Oh man, humans can be so embarrassing.
I fail to see how the article makes any convincing point about why a German Russian alliance would form. Can't see that Germany would want much except to buy some oil etc from them.
Oil is becoming less important with development of alternatives, and is a very finite resource. In the long-term, Russia will be SOL if it continues to fail to develop other forms of industry besides natural resource exploitation.
Pray tell, what other wealth building "alternatives" could Russia develop that DO NOT begin with some sort of natural resource?
@ Luftwaffen luftmensch ' I fail to see. . .' No ARSEHOLE you just 'FAIL'.
Now go and pay to have your little dick sucked.
Russia has some of the best computer programmers in the world. Not those shitty H1B indians that the open borders NWO crowd flood into Amerika. The software on that pile of shit F-35 has been delayed for how many years.
The Russians have some of the best missiles in the world. There technology is advancing. More and more companies worldwide will be opting out of buying USA because it is filled with spyware and other spy crap. Software, hardware, networks, etc.
Putin is becoming a level headed and fair friend to other countries. Not some rapining and pillaging psychopaths like the Neocon NWO scum at The State Dept. Droning and killing people while spying on them.
once again, Russian kids play chess and listen to classical music, while ours play vidoe games, listen to hip-hop and jack off. Long term who wins that one?
Are you been watching Russian state media?
oligarh kids, maybe.
russian traditions are more related to vodka etc, which i don't see as a bad thing btw
luft, try reading. Over 3,000 German companies are doing serious business with & in Mother Russia.

For an overall view.
According to the Revelation of Jesus Christ; a real world order out of chaos is coming; One with great power and great Authority, but it will get real rough for a few years first. This earth has at least another 1007 years before it is "burned up".
It's going to be such a surprise for many americans.
Especially "progressives" who just don't seem to get what the point is about.
They opposed Bush and now it's all fine again. Why complain?
LOL
Another twist on the currency war. US took out saddam for threatening to buy/sell oil in Euros. Chapter two unfolds.
Don't get too excited until you see Vlade giving the sword of Longinus sign, downward V
Romanus Uber Alles
Merkel's Euro-backed by Russian oil or London fiat?
Jim Willie (GoldenJackass.com) has said this will happen and he further has predicted that Turkey will join the Eurasia pact and that the France may as well (if they are allowed). Also, expect the Saudis to turn their back on the US according to JW; he says they have already, but it is not official. Also, the Saudis are running near empty as they are pumping massive amounts of water into wells to get oil out; their output, if accurate, remains firm, but maybe not for too much longer. Iran is the target for oil now and why the shadow US gov't wants to export "Freedom & Democracy" (AKA: death, destruction, chaos, corruption murder and all other kinds of evil).
-
Why would Germany want to be in the EU when they are supporting the whole thing?
-
Crazy times and the storm clouds are gathering.
Saudi oil fields are dying rapidly. More than a few know about that. Iran will be protected by Russia and China at all costs. Russia is pals with China and now Germany which I saw coming. If they also flip Turkey then game over. Supposedly Germany and Turkey are the key.
The Old-stock Eurocentric U.S. has been diluted.
Look to the south. How long can your area resist busloads of illegals streaming in? They’ll be in your ‘hood within months.
No productive jobs for the new comers but they’ll want infrastructure and resources.
And do you know why we are screwed?

Well not so much this nut Americanis doofanireus will believe anything in a high school text book.
As sad as it is, thoughts on declaring an emergency, peacefully dissolving the constitution and govern under the Articles of Confederation?
A regrouping, if you will.
Funny. Putin, post WW2 KGB baby, takes page from Hitlers own playbook preceeding Barbarossa.

VonRibbentrop is born again Russian.
For chrisake Bush senior was the head of the cia you f*cking moron.
ignorance is strength
All of the old religious axions wil prevail, .. you know the meek inhabiting the earth etc. Unfortuanely this will take place after an earth polar axis shift. Nuclear radiation will destroy everything. The Began and the beast prophecy will not hold.
The nefilim after the earth has cooled down from all the nuclear generators half life, they will return better genetics. With an earth experiencing polar shift and serious earth changes, hey get on with the earthy quips, I have a sense of humor.

Right. I'm sure America and all its military bases located in Germany will just idly stand by while Germany and Russia form an "axis," whatever the hell that means.
SF,
Thought of another way, hand the new American illegals AK’s; set them free in your neighborhood.
How long could you and your’s withstand an ISIS style attack?
No offense.
Russia and Germany are a natural for progress and prosperity - maybe Germany can rid itself of the Ami Affe's and become a real nation again - and get its gold back. Engloand belongs to the 3rd world, just a bunch of afro/paki/arab Islam mullatos, done as can be.
Germany buys energy products from Russia. Germany has gold on deposit in the Federal Reserve bank which the US hasn't returned to Germany as requested. Now suppose the Germans write a check against the gold and give the Russians the check to pay for energy. Putin presents the check to the Fed requesting payment on demand.
What happens next?
