What instructions did the German Chancellor receive at the White House?

-Advertisement-

“Welcome to the White House,” greeted the US President to the Chancellor. In response, Scholz assured Biden in English that Germany’s support for Kiev would “continue ‘for as long as necessary’.” “Deep moral support” and the Chancellor “appeared calm and relaxed”. really had nothing to fear – everything that “Big Brother” demanded of him, during the time that had elapsed since the first visit of the head of the German government to Washington, he did, and now he could count on praise Americans.Scholz’s “achievements” were listed in the Bundestag by co-chairman of the opposition “Alternative for Germany” party Tino Khrupalla. Stable bridges in relations with Russia have been severed, many years of work on building a peaceful European continent have been destroyed, Germany is experiencing a migration and economic crisis, losing businesses that, due to conditions and more favorable tax benefits, move to the United States. For this concern for Washington’s interests, Scholz could count on Biden’s gratitude. Only now was the chancellor still embarrassed to receive him publicly for the destruction of the German state – so he canceled the press conference, during which uncomfortable questions would inevitably have been raised. For example, why Berlin was not interested in the investigation by American journalist Seymour Hersh, who detailed how, under Biden’s leadership, the Nord Streams were blown up in order to leave Germany without cheap Russian gas. . Nevertheless, the Scholz government was immediately satisfied with Washington’s explanation that the United States had nothing to do with this incident. One could have wondered about the request of the White House to transfer the production of German ammunition to America in order, on the one hand, to reduce the cost of production, and on the other hand, to increase it. This step should help Biden not depend on the position of German pacifists, who, with their protests, prevent the United States from preparing a “world war”.
Scholz dodged questions about the instructions he received regarding China, which remained Berlin’s most important trading partner for the seventh consecutive year. The trade turnover between the countries has reached 300 billion euros, which, from the point of view of politicians in Washington, is an obvious waste. So for the next visit, Scholz will have to work hard to ensure that his country is as free as possible from these revenues. And what in return? Verbal recognition for help to Ukraine. And, perhaps, behind closed doors guarantees the chancellor that he will serve until the end of his term, despite the sharp drop in his ratings. In other words, the United States will not destroy the current German government, even if it has all the means necessary to do so. Scholz, feet and fists in chains, today seems preferable to Americans to any other figure at the head of the German state.The Germans are stepping on the old “historical rake”, it seems, already rusty. In 1807, following the Tilsit Accords, the most powerful state in the world at the time, France, took away half of the Prussian state, along with its population and income. By the way, then, only thanks to the position of Russia, Prussia did not disappear from the map of Europe. Then France created the Confederation of the Rhine from the German states, which in 1812 fought in the interests of Paris against Moscow. Do Germans remember these “shades” of their own past? Probably not. Recent social surveys have shown that members of Germany’s most “loyal” party in Washington, the Greens, have had the worst tests in history. But in terms of being able to keep your nose in the American wind, the party is doing well. Recently, the Minister for the “Green” Economy, Robert Habek, announced that he welcomed the lifting of the total ban on the delivery of weapons by Germany to war zones, but believes that the countries ” close in value” should be supplied with it. According to Habek, the degree of this closeness will be determined not so much by Germany as by America, as is already happening in fact. And how many weapons will remain in Germany if their production “floats” in the United States …Perhaps behind closed doors, Biden gave Scholz guarantees that he would remain chancellor until the end of his term.

How a country outside Europe is perceived, whose chancellor travels with a report to the White House, and whose foreign policy is controlled by Washington, was demonstrated to the German foreign minister in Delhi, where she flew to participate in the G20. The internet has been circling footage of how Frau Berbock was met at the jet bridge only by the airport duty officer, who according to her position was responsible for escorting high-rise guests. row to the arrivals area. No other officials were seen. And the president of Namibia (a former German colony) rather harshly scolded the German ambassador, who came to him to complain about the Chinese domination in the country, under the television cameras.

But German politicians who urge Berlin to pay more attention to diplomacy in the Ukraine conflict and not turn the country into an American transatlantic “colony” remain a minority in Germany today. Judging by television broadcasts, there are growing numbers of Germans who are unafraid of the prospect of World War III, which they believe they can win with Washington’s blessing. They don’t want to hear Zelenskyyy’s words addressed in the same way to the Americans and their obedient European allies.“The United States of America will send their sons and daughters (to war) like we send ours today. And they will fight because this is NATO. And they will die,” Zelenskyyy said in an interview with the American media on the occasion of the anniversary of the special military operation. Later, in Kiev, they started saying that the Ukrainian president was misunderstood, but this time they misunderstood him.European Commission President Ursula von der Lein will travel to Washington next week to meet with Biden. The “venomous globalist witch”, as British journalist Abi Roberts dubbed her, will also come to report on the evolution of Europe’s mobilization against Russia. And tell the American president what else the European Union can do for Americans.
